marmite Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 If S'oD is supposed to be a restructuring coach then I see no job for him at Wolves. Their fans will demand and expect a swift return to the championship. That's not S'oDs style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy273 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Kenny Jackett I think. A manager that is more likely to stay seeing as he has been at Millwall for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 That's not even possible!! It's a rolling contract , yesterday he had a year to run , tomorrow he will have a year to run , in August he will have a year to run. It's all about compo. Saved me the job!

Taylor10 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me in all honesty. Really? I would be absolutely stunned if A) SoD would be willing to go there and B) Wolves were in for him. The state they are in going for SoD, a manager of a team who finished below them in the league would not be the best way to start winning the fans back.

Jordan Tansley Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 My understanding too, makes the "long term" argument I hear so much about a bit silly. How exactly? It is essentially employment on the sort of terms you and I would be on. He is employed until such time either party decides they do not want to be. It makes perfect sense. When was the last time this club lost a manager to another club and was due compo? Pulis? Joe Jordan? Before that? If anything, it saves us money as we won't be left paying off a 5 year contract if it all goes tits up like with GJ. It's all about trust. Has SOD given any indication he is not in it for the long term? No. Of all the things currently to get upset about, the terms of SOD's contract are not really worth discussion. He wants to be here, he chose us out of three clubs in the championship because he has bought into the LONG TERM vision. He's said it enough times for it to be an unquestionable motive for his joining the club. All this continued falsified speculation shows is the beginnings of an agenda IMO. It all smacks of Robbo and GJ.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWRed Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I highly doubt it. Wolves are in a mess. Lot's of criticism from their fans directed at a supposedly incompetent board. You think SOD would want to be a part of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo7 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Nothing would surprise me anymore. Isn't he on a pretty easy to get out of yearly rolling contract which he is close to a third of the way through already? I would not be at all surprised if he was approached, as a candidate. Wolves are a pretty well run club financially, it may seem like a good opportunity. Come on TRL - you can never be a third of the way through a rolling contract - that is what "rolling" means It is effectively the same as a contract of employment in the real world with 12 months notice either way. In the unlikely event that Wolves are after him and he wants to go we will be entitlled to enforce 12 months gardening leave unless satisfied by an offer of compensation. Different though if he stages a Coppell style "disillusioned - wants to retire" gambit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROK has gone and that wasn't in the script, SOD rumours have been doing the rounds for a month or so, I know it's difficult to tell with SOD but he dosen't look completely at ease to me and SL has alluded to the fact that he isn't the easiest guy in the world to deal with and he was born in Wolverhampton, probably not true but being BCFC I wouldn't bet against it.

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Anything to get out of the trip to Botswana? Agree SO'D doesn't look comfortable ( but has he ever?) and O'Kelly'd departure could be seen as ominous. Can't see him wanting to do endless interviews explaining his philosophy to a new set of fans again so soon but this is Bristol City we're talking about and if there's one club guaranteed to be unpredictable and spring surprises it's this one. My gut feeling with SO'D is I simply don't have one and if we woke up tomorrow to news he was moving to Wolves it certainly wouldn't be a shock.

He's Wolves through and through, he's the fans top choice, well respected in the lower tiers of football league, knows this division very well. It would certainly top off one of the worst seasons of supporting City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, on the bright side, he might take midfield maestro Kilkenny with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
