Re: McDermott to Wolves

I think its flattering to both Brian and RFC that he is being linked, but I seriously doubt that he would be going for a number of reasons;

1. Wolves have stated that they want as they manager someone experienced in the PL
2. If the contract is to keep simply "Keep Wolves up and then lets see", only a particularly desperate manager is going to leave a club vying for automatic promotion to the PL for a new job with that level of uncertainty attached.
3. Wolves have said that they want a manager in place before their next game - suggests they need a guy currently out of management.

I'm surprised Sven hasn't had a mention to be honest.

Nothing in that article to suggest that he's on the shortlist. The fact that his odds have been slashed could just be because a load of people have read this thread and decided to take a punt.

Unsurprising bookmakers have slashed his odds but I would read nothing into it. They have small libailites on managerial markets and any sign of money means they are just covering themselves.

At 12.12 he was 30/1 on Skybet, within an hour it had gone down to 10/1, before drifting back out again, wasn't this thread that did the damage

I'd be surprised if it wasn't this thread that got it in the EP though :D

Wolves rag on twitter

Checking the Brian McDermott to #Wolves story at this end but a trusted source has had a good nod at the #Reading end that he's in frame.

I'll be seriously peeved if he goes to Wolves now on a short term deal. It'll be like McGhee IMO (obviously without the lies).

If Brian has any sense he might be using this possibility to get a much better contract at RFC.

I just cannot see he would leave us when we have such a great chance of promotion and the potential to build something with Anton's money – to go to Wolves - who are quite possibly going to come back down again. If they get relegated he will have another huge rebuilding exercise.

I believe he will stay even if offered the Wolves job.

Can't see it tbh, not the right move for him at the moment.

Get used to it though people - the more success RFC have, the more you'll see Brian linked to other jobs.

Jonny Fordham has tweeted BM is on the shortlist. I can't believe he'd be interested in going there at this point though. Gus Poyet latest to be linked - Wolves have asked Brighton for permission to speak to him. Hope it's Poyet then!

Like any in-demand employee, Brian should use Wolves' interest to leverage an improved contract out of RFC.
