Thanks mate. I had a small problem with cancer but it seems to be sorted now. UTB

You're probably right. In Portugal, it seems to be normal to change managers every six months and you might assume that managers expect to have short tenures. If you look at Carvalhal's CV, he's managed 22 teams (although admittedly some more than once). On the other hand, you can't say he hasn't much experience. Admittedly, he doesn't have much silverware to show for it but neither does Edwards. And BTW, it's nice to be back.

You're right, but that does leave him open to offers.

From what I can gather, O'Neil is regarded as too divisive amongst the fans, which this thread has amply shown. Corberan has pledged to fight for Valencia, but that doesn't mean much really. He might just walk "for the good of the club" or he could be sacked. I'm still puzzled why no one is mentioning Carlos Carvalhal who left Braga in May this year and is - as far as I can see - without a job. He's intelligent and has bags of experience - notably in the Champo and the Prem. Does someone know something about him that I don't know?

Well if you hear a whistling noise in the next few months, it's Wolves on their way to League One.

The only out-of-work manager who might float my boat at the mo' is Carlos Carvalhal.

I hope he IS the next manager.

Forgive the ramblings of an elderly man but I find this all very puzzling. Wolves have accumulated the grand total of two points from 10 matches. This is not relegation form, it's freefall. This is the sort of form that sees you in League One at the end of next season, and I really would not be surprised if that happens. So why would Edwards find that so attractive? Does he have some sort of Messiah complex? Does he think that he alone can rescue Wolves? Does he believe that Wolves can actually be rescued? Is he a closet masochist? More particularly, Is he going to swap a high-flying Championship team that stands a good chance of promotion for a bunch of no-hopers who will be falling through the Championship next season with the graceful elegance of an Accrington brick?

He'll have to work the beer out of his system.

I have measured out my life in MFC making decisions.

I think that the absence of an announcement suggests that Nixon might be jumping the gun a bit. I certainly hope so.

It doesn't matter how you pronounce it. He's the business.

Whatever happened to squeaky bum time?

To be honest, I didn't expect that. All credit to Carrick and the lads.

Sadly, I think that accountants have more say in the running of the club than the chairman or the manager.
