[Football] Lopetegui v O’Neil
- Thread starter pasty
- Start date
Don’t care what the stats say in other leagues, in PL terms Lopetegui is really poor, I couldn’t believe the way we buried his Wolves team under RdZ.
Russell Martin must be under some pressure and Dyche to a certain extent, though last night helped him.

Dyche is secure until the Friedkin group takeover I suspect, and Southampton knew what they had in Martin before the season started. They're going down, whatever happens, so it's a question of whether they think Martin will a) stay with them and b) be the man to take them up again.
I've gone for O'Neil, simply because he's been there longer and Wolves have been circling the drain for a couple of seasons. Obviously Lopetegui will now get sacked today, but I suspect that if Wolves and West Ham lose at the weekend, both could be gone by Monday.
Loppo lopped today I reckon, supposed to be a board meeting.
Ha, 0-0 incoming...
Yeah I'll be surprised if Lopetegui see's out the day there.
Was always a strange appointment.

I wish I didn't understand this joke but my other half sings that song relentlessly.
Kudos.

Lopetegui, as has been said. Odd appointment. Odd bloke in my view. He'll never do well in the PL, but may do well in other leagues
O'Neill. Now I get that was a shocking result. I get they are in the drop zone. But I just don't get the level of vitriol from Wolves fans. I think he's probably going to have to go now. But it's one which hasn't worked out this season, rather than he's an incompetent bell end. Hoping Wolves go down and he gets a decent job somewhere

Fair about Martin, but there has been a constant undercurrent about him for some time. Nothing would surprise me.
Re Dyche, most Everton fans can’t stand him, and as soon as the takeover he’s gone

Heard some audio from O'Neill on Talk Sport this morning where he said something along the lines of 'doing his work tonight for a few hours and tomorrow morning to leave the club in the best place', which to me sounded like he knows he's gone today. Doubt he'll resign as he'll want a pay out, but he may already have been told that he's out of he didn't win last night.
Gary O’Neil cannot talk about Wolves without referring to the ‘group’, how the ’group’ are doing, etc. It’s his go to word that makes it sound like there’s a big togetherness that maybe there is or maybe there isn’t! Mark Hughes did something similar by always using the royal ‘we’ when referring to anything HE had done.

Based on the fans expectations, I think West Ham will be looking to recruit another manager soon.
They will be the best thing since sliced bread for a few weeks/months then repeat the cycle.

Lopetegui for me.
O'Neill looked fine after the couple of wins but last two games have set Wolves right back.
I guess it depends if anyone decent is available to replace either of them.
Potter maybe but is that it?

If either of them has to go it should be O'Neil, but actually I'd say neither actually deserve it.
Lopetegui has been there five minutes and has taken over a squad that needed a major overhaul. Of course it was going to be a bit shit for a while, but they're nowhere the drop zone. I think once a manager comes in, he needs time. Think of how our support backed Potter despite a barren year at home and all that frustration. Why some people resent him is that he ran off 5 minutes after it all finally clicked. And now compare that to West Ham's massive rump of serial moaners.
As for O'Neil - well his team are in a false position. There's no way they will go down IMO, they're far too good. If Wolves want better results, they need to back him in the market.

Wolves can’t defend though. They average about 2 goals conceded per game since he joined, and that includes when they had better defenders like Max Kilman. If you can’t sort the defence out, it tends to be fairly terminal.
