Pompey would love to have him back

He’s a decent coach. However I think he’s a really good TV pundit in the few times he’s done it. I doubt he’ll be out of work for long

He can only coach the players at his disposal…selling your best players and not replacing them with anything like the same calibre is not a recipe for success or survival

Is there such a thing?

He’s been rubbish for a long time, Performances have been awful. He seems a nice guy, good luck in the future, but it wasn’t at Wolves

What about a bad manager who is apparently unsackable, as in Ian Evatt at #bwfc?

I'd have O'Neil back at Bolton all day long.

Sadly I don't think we're fishing in that pond at the moment. His wages would be astronomical for a L1 club

I don't doubt that, not to mention the drop down 2 divisions. I'd love Mark Robins too but I think another decent sized Championship club will snap him up. We've been kicking around the lower divisions for too long now - and Evatt claims we're progressing with him.

Wolves have been in the league a long time now. Bournmouth have gone forward since they moved on from him. Is he all that really?

If he was happy simply being a coach he'd have a great coaching career

But that's the rub, he's a great coach, his game management skills are severely lacking

Also too much time on the opposition not in his own team's strengths

Understandable given his time scouting, but can't help confidence

I think it's also proof you can use the media to your advantage. That MNF appearance has done wonders for him. Only Barnsley and Sheffield Utd in PL history have had as bad a defence as this after 16 matches, highly doubt his reputation would be as high without that MNF presentation.

Not sure there's much evidence of being a good manager, look at the shambles he has left at Wolves
