Ok,Ok it's fair to say the season hasn't panned out the way we would have hoped ( despite the return of the mighty Stearman) and it's fair to say fans are always looking for the reason.
The Manager is usually an easy target, Jacket certainly had very few people backing him when he left, we are now on our third manager, and nobody has got to grips with the job, so maybe Jacket wasn't such a bad option.
So lets try the other area fans are quick to criticise, the Owners, again it would seem unfair to point the finger in that direction either, they have put some serious money into the playing staff, not least of which Costa, so that seems a blind alley too.
what I'm really trying to point out is that running a football club is not as simple as many fans make out, they are quick to point to lack of spending, they are quick to blame the manager, and as ever they all know if they were in charge, we would have won the Prem and be European champions by now.
I'm just wondering who are the fans blaming now?
So who do we blame now?

"the sh!t was rank albion and of course he loved it as we listened to the radio of barca putting 58 past us"
Did Barca break for the day with low light on say 37 or 38,then resume the day after like a test cricket match?

I blame Amiga.
He tries to deflect blame too much. Must be guilty.

some of the short term problems are of PL's making - we've gone from a side that was on the up and putting in some decent performances (liverpool, barnsley, newcastle despite the defeat) to the shambles that was us v burton, wigan, Birmingham...and rather than rallying the side he has thrown a grenade in the dressing room and curled up in the dug-out like a gibbering wreck. anyone who drops doherty to play saville at LB has lost the plot. but to reinforce that stupidity by suggesting doc was out of form means we can't trust the manager either. at least MM had the good grace to admit his error over sending craddock on loan to stoke.
but the real problems at wolves have been long term, stemming back to our third premier league season. in my view, moxey's influence over the running of the club coupled with MM's loyalty to players past their sell-by date lead us to believe we could decrease player spending and avoid relegation just because we'd already done it two seasons before. everything after that just highlighted the awful decision making of morgan and moxey, then thelwell, and others behind the scenes who should have been creating strong foundations not following one knee-jerk reaction with another with another. no stability, no direction, no style, no ethos. it's a good job the current squad are actually mostly decent championship players with a handful (batth, stears, price, edwards, doc, ikeme...) who seem to genuinely love and care for wolves. if this squad had the fight and commitment of roger johnson, jamie o'hara, wardy and others in our last relegation year we'd be down already.

Well put gb. I still point to that three match unbeaten start to that third PL season. We'd bought O'Hara, DeVries and Johnson, which was effectively one addition to the starting line up given that JOH was already with us on loan and Doris was a bench warmer. This to a squad which was minutes away from relegation. But we won a couple and drew one before the transfer window closed and so Morgan decided to that was that, we were sorted, an established premier league club. Lets build another stand. Fecking idiot.

we never learned from the previous PL visit where at least one story goes that moxey convinced SJH the squad should be largely good enough to survive on the cheap seeing as how we'd done so well getting promoted. we spent £4m in the summer on some bang average players and we were doomed by Xmas with only 11 points.

it was 13 years ago so quite different prices back then but still a massive underspend

Lost arguably our two best players as well and did nothing about it.
