da gbg bet： West Ham and Tottenham have held discussions over signing former Brentford striker Ivan Toney ahead of the looming January transfer window, and he’s now given a response to both sides.

Ivan Toney attracts Premier League interest after Saudi displays

da prosport bet： Toney’s excellent since moving to Al-Ahli has reportedly prompted several Premier League clubs to consider bringing him back to English football, with his exceptional goalscoring record defying initial skepticism about his £40 million transfer.

The 29-year-old has silenced doubters emphatically, scoring 42 goals across just 62 appearances in all competitions since arriving in the Gulf state.

His output has spearheaded Al-Ahli to success, including their maiden AFC Champions League triumph and victory in the Saudi Super Cup after a penalty shootout victory over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.

Toney’s memorable hat-trick against 2024 champions Al-Hilal marked Al-Ahli’s first victory over their rivals in eight league games, with the striker going on to net 12 goals across just seven matches during one extraordinary purple patch.

West Ham’s results in the Premier League so far

Sunderland 3-0 West Ham

West Ham 1-5 Chelsea

Nottingham Forest 0-3 West Ham

West Ham 0-3 Tottenham

West Ham 1-2 Crystal Palace

Everton 1-1 West Ham

Arsenal 2-0 West Ham

West Ham 0-2 Brentford

Leeds 2-1 West Ham

West Ham 3-1 Newcastle

West Ham 3-2 Burnley

Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham

His performances even briefly earned the Englishman a spot back in Thomas Tuchel’s England setup earlier this year, but Toney has struggled to fire his way back into contention since then.

With the 2026 World Cup looming, reports have suggested that Toney could return to the Premier League in a bid to battle his way into Tuchel’s thinking ahead of the tournament next year.

Of all the teams linked with a move for Toney, West Ham and Spurs stand chief among them as the two London clubs allegedly scour for striking options.

Tottenham are said to have held preliminary talks over a deal for Toney already, while West Ham have allegedly sounded out the striker as they look to replace the exit-bound Niclas Füllkrug.

Now, a report by talkSPORT has shed light on the situation, with Nuno Espirito Santo handed a key update.

West Ham and Tottenham get Ivan Toney response after discussions

West Ham and Tottenham have discussed January moves for Toney, but the England striker has made clear his intention to remain in Saudi Arabia, effectively ending hopes of an immediate Premier League return.

Sources close to the situation confirm Toney’s camp has communicated directly to interested Premier League clubs that the striker remains settled, content and unwilling to push for a transfer.

Al-Ahli sporting director Rui Pedro Braz reinforced this stance publicly, insisting speculation surrounding January departures holds no basis in reality and declaring the club counts on Toney moving forward.

Additionally, Toney must remain abroad until April 2026 to maintain his non-UK tax residency status. Returning prematurely would trigger significant tax liabilities estimated at around £14 million.

Al-Ahli would also demand more than the £40 million they paid for a permanent transfer.

The SPL club would only consider sanctioning Toney’s departure if they secured an elite-level replacement, something which could be very difficult to do in January’s limited window.

Right now, the odds are stacked against an exit for the ‘remarkable’ striker, so West Ham and Spurs may need to look elsewhere.

According to other reports, West Ham have already made contact over a deal for USG striker Promise David, who could be available for a generous £17.5 million.

da betano casino： Em simbiose, Flamengo e a sua torcida viveram uma tarde histórica na última sexta-feira, quando o ônibus da delegação rubro-negra foi abraçado pela Nação do Ninho do Urubu ao Aeroporto do Galeão, onde o time embarcou rumo a Porto Alegre para dois jogos pelo Brasileiro antes de decidir a Libertadores. E a pessoa responsável por conduzir os finalistas da América teve uma visão privilegiada e a oportunidade de vivenciar tal experiência pela segunda vez em três anos: Jorge Moraes, o motorista do ônibus do clube.

da bet vitoria： Ao LANCE!, Jorge contou sobre a nova experiência, a importância de momentos como o de ontem para a torcida, sobretudo para quem não possui condições de ir com frequência aos jogos, e a representação de um torcedor trabalhando diariamente em seu clube do coração.

“Sou um privilegiado”, resumiu Jorge Moraes após o segundo AeroFla:

⁃A torcida do Flamengo é incrível e não deixou a desejar no apoio aos nossos jogadores e comissão. Sempre cantando em tom bem alto, com toda a emoção de torcer para um dos maiores clubes do mundo. É imensurável fazer parte dessa história pela segunda vez em três anos. Ver de perto o rosto do torcedor, as crianças, os idosos. Tenho a exata noção que sou um privilegiado por participar duas vezes em tão pouco tempo – disse Jorge, emendando sobre as lembranças de 2019, antes do embarque para Lima e às vésperas do bicampeonato da Libertadores.

⁃São as melhores possíveis. Não dava para ver o asfalto, a torcida balançava a van, cantava sem parar. Estávamos há muito tempo sem disputar uma final de Libertadores. Emocionante demais. Jamais sairá da minha memória e de todos que estiveram ali. Vestir essa camisa proporciona momentos como esse.

Por falar em Lima, Jorge lembrou que não viajaria para a capital peruana, mas o seu sonho foi realizado depois de uma grata surpresa:

⁃ “Lima, lá glória eterna!”. Eu estava lá, e isso ninguém tira. É uma história até curiosa, pois eu não viajaria. Em cima da hora, precisei buscar uma encomenda na Gávea para enviar para Lima. Cheguei no aeroporto e fui entregar ao responsável. Do nada, me perguntam se estou com minha identidade. ‘De repente você viajará’, disseram. Eu respondi ‘tá de brincadeira? Não se brinca com o sonho alheio.’ Na metade dos check-in dos familiares, fiquei sabendo que embarcaria, mas não acreditei. Só acreditei dentro do avião. E lá fui eu viver o sonho e ter a oportunidade de dizer pra minha família que estive lá.

Por fim, Jorge Moraes comentou sobre os seus tempos de Maracanã e a sua realização em poder representar a arquibancada dentro do Fla.

– Cansei de ir para o Maracanã assistir aos jogos na antiga geral, pagando R$ 2. Muitas vezes voltei andando até o Engenho Novo porque não tinha o dinheiro da passagem. E com o bico seco também.

– Hoje trabalho junto dos meus ídolos, companheiros de trabalho, muitos me tratam com carinho e respeito, ainda recebo ligações de atletas que não estão mais aqui. Muito gratificante. Sou um torcedor que pode colaborar diretamente com o crescimento do nosso clube. Represento a arquibancada ali – finalizou.

يواجه فريق ريال مدريد، بقيادة المدرب كارلو أنشيلوتي، مشكلة معقدة عند مواجهة مانشستر سيتي، في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم.

وأجرى الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم، يويفا، ظهر اليوم الجمعة مراسم قرعة مرحل دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، موسم 2024/25.

وأسفرت القرعة عن نهائي مبكر بين فريقي ريال مدريد الإسباني ومانشستر سيتي.

وستُقام مرحلة ذهاب ملحق دور الـ16 يومي 11/12 فبراير المقبل، على أن تُقام مرحلة الإياب يومي 18/19 من الشهر نفسه.

وحسبما ذكرت صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، فإن ريال مدريد سيتوجب عليه توخي الحذر في مباراة الذهاب ضد مانشستر سيتي، بسبب 6 لاعبين.

وأوضحت أن هناك 6 لاعبين من ريال مدريد قد يُجبرون على الغياب عن مباراة الإياب ضد مانشستر سيتي، حال حصولهم على بطاقة صفراء في الذهاب.

وأشارت إلى أن هؤلاء اللاعبين هم، جود بيلينجهام، أنطونيو روديجر، لوكا مودريتش، تشواميني، إندريك وإدوارد كامافينجا.

وأفادت أنه عند النظر إلى الجهة الأخرى، مانشستر سيتي، سنجد أن لاعبًا واحدًا فقط مهدد بالغياب حال حصوله على بطاقة صفراء وهو روبن دياز، والذي قد لا يدفع به بيب جوارديولا في الذهاب.

وتُقام مباراة الذهاب بين ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي على ملعب “الاتحاد”، في حين أن الإياب على ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو”.

كشف ديفيد أورنستين، الصحفي المعروف بصحيفة ذا أتلتيك، تفاصيل جديدة حول حقيقة رحيل محمد صلاح عن صفوف نادي ليفربول خلال فترة الميركاتو الشتوي المقبل في يناير.

ويعاني محمد صلاح الأمرين مع نادي ليفربول خلال هذا الموسم، حيث بقي الدولي المصري على مقاعد البدلاء خلال آخر ثلاث مباريات لعبهم الريدز في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وقام محمد صلاح بالرد على بقاءه كبديل، حيث أشار إلى أن علاقته مع مدرب ليفربول، آرني سلوت، قد انتهت تمامًا، مؤكدًا أن إدارة الريدز قد خدعته ولم تنفذ الوعود التي قدمتها له.

ورد ليفربول على تصريحات محمد صلاح، حيث قام باستبعاده من مباراة الفريق المقبلة أمام إنتر ميلان، والتي سوف تلعب غدًا الثلاثاء في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

طالع .. قائمة ليفربول لمباراة إنتر ميلان في دوري أبطال أوروبا.. موقف محمد صلاح

وأفاد أورنستين، أن ليفربول لا يرى أن استبعاد محمد صلاح من مباراة إنتر ميلان إجراء تأديبي ، ولا ينظر إلى هذا الاستبعاد على أنه إشارة على رحيل اللاعب في يناير.

وأضاف أورنستين، بأن ليفربول أكد التزامه التام بصلاح وعقده، الذي يمتد حتى عام 2027، مع التأكيد على أن الوضع الحالي مؤقت ويمكن تحسينه.

وأوضح أورنستين في حديثه، أن ليفربول ربما كان يحتاج إلى وجود محمد صلاح في تشكيلة الفريق الأساسية لولا تصريحاته الأخيرة، حيث تعتبر خسارة لاعب بمكانة الدولي المصري ضربة موجعة.

واختتم أورنستين حديثه قائلًا، إن استبعاد محمد صلاح من تشكيلة ليفربول سوف يزيل بعض الضغوط من على سلوت، وفي انتظار ما سيحدث لحين مباراة برايتون يوم السبت المقبل في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

da bwin： Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on a pair of appointments that Wolverhampton Wanderers are expected to make in the near future.

da luck： Despite being given a contract extension just weeks into the season, Vitor Pereira was sacked by Wolves following 10 Premier League games without a win. The Midlands side have since been linked with a number of managers that could potentially replace the Portuguese.

Wolves are eight points adrift of safety, sitting rock bottom of the league table with just two points taken from a potential 30. Whoever replaces Pereira will have a sizeable job on their hands, and the frontrunner appears to be Rob Edwards, with an approach made on Thursday.

For their upcoming clash against Chelsea, Wolves have decided on who will take interim charge of the first-team as they seek not one, but two new appointments.

Soon after Pereira was relieved of his duties, director of football Domenico Teti departed the club, having only joined in the summer to work alongside the manager.

Romano shares update as Wolves pursue appointments

It is imperative that Fosun, who have owned Wolves since 2016, make appointments that will be effective in their roles and able to contribute to Wolves’ efforts to retain their status as a Premier League outfit. As per GIVEMESPORT, Romano has revealed that work is ongoing on both fronts.

Though Wolves have been linked with some options, such as Erik ten Hag, who have no prior connection to the club, reports have suggested that Wolves are interested in a manager that knows the club. Until pulling himself out of the running, ex-Wolves boss Gary O’Neil was linked with a return.

Edwards seems the most likely candidate, having enjoyed a strong start to the season as Middlesbrough head coach. The former defender, who guided Luton Town to the Premier League, spent four years at Molineux during his playing career.

As per Romano, Wolves are looking to “cover” their director of football position alongside hiring a new manager, ensuring that they are prepared for both the remainder of the season and the fast-approaching January transfer window.

There is still time for Wolves to salvage something from the season, but such an act relies on the correct decisions being made with important appointments such as the ones they must now make.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will remain in the spotlight while a big question remains on who replaces Shreyas Iyer in the middle order

Sidharth Monga29-Nov-20251:37

Saba Karim: ‘Expect Rohit, Kohli to do well in home series’

Big picture – India can’t be complacent despite recent dominance in ODIsWe can sometimes forget the unfortunate part injuries play in a team’s fortunes. India are now going into a third straight international match with a third different captain after Shubman Gill’s neck injury in the Kolkata Test forced him out of action following non-stop cricket for India’s newest three-format obsession. Their ODI vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, is also out with a rib injury he sustained while taking a catch back in Australia.This format, though, is still the ideal sweet spot for India. Or at least this generation of players, up until the injured full-time captain and vice-captain. India have been dominant in ODIs, winning the last Asia Cup and the last Champions Trophy, and losing only the final in the last World Cup.Related

However, they are careful not to be complacent because the next World Cup takes them to South Africa. So they are always going to be wondering if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will still be good to go in late 2027, how to find a seam-bowling allrounder, how to manage workloads. And this is the format teams play the least of.India’s opponents are nowhere near as dominant in ODIs in recent times but they will be riding the high of having beaten India 2-0 in the Tests. This is a rare full tour as nowadays home teams prefer to split Tests and shorter formats to allegedly maximise the earnings. However, all-format tours have their own charm of one side trying to dominate the other team completely and the other looking for some redemption in the other formats.Also, South Africa are closer to full strength now with the exception of Kagiso Rabada’s injury-enforced absence. The return of Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma should add heft to their batting, and Keshav Maharaj should provide them the spin control they missed in Pakistan.These are just three ODIs and they will be forgotten quickly, what with more focus on T20Is right now, but they promise to be cracking contests while they last.Form guideIndia WLLWW

In the spotlight: RoKo and Matthew BreetzkeKL Rahul will take over India’s leadership as the selectors have resisted the temptation to go back to Rohit Sharma, who returned to the ODIs, his only active international format, with a century in the third match against Australia. It is a clear sign that Rohit and Virat Kohli will forever remain under extra scrutiny just by the virtue of how old they will be by the World Cup in 2027.Matthew Breetzke comes to India with a big reputation to live up to.

If Gaikwad gets the nod, Rishabh Pant, who is back in the squad, will struggle to make the starting XI because India will need two allrounders. It remains to be seen if one of those allrounders will be a seam bowler in Nitish Kumar Reddy. In Australia, they played all three while the series was live because they wanted batting depth. If they repeat the formation, all three will get in.India (probable): 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Ruturaj Gaikwad/Rishabh Pant, 5 KL Rahul (capt, wk), 6 Washington Sundar, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Nitish Kumar Reddy, 9 Harshit Rana, 9 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Prasidh Krishna1:09

There has been only one score of over 300, which was defended successfully, but chases of 270-280 haven’t quite been cakewalks either. The pitch generally is on the slower side; in the last ODI there, Washington Sundar opened the bowling for India. The weather will be perfect to play cricket in, but a lot will depend on dew. Without dew, batting first is not a bad shout in Ranchi.Stats and trivia Since 2006, India and South Africa have played ten bilateral ODI series against each other. The scoreline is 5-5. Bavuma needs 59 runs to become only the 22nd South Africa player to score 2000 ODI runs.Quotes”Rutu, obviously, is a top-class player. We have all seen it. With whatever opportunities, limited opportunities he has got [with India], he has really utilised it and shown what he can do. Unfortunately, in ODI cricket, the top six or top five is quite settled. And they are performing really well.”
“When you add those two names to the line-up, we expect to see a full house tomorrow and that’s exciting. I think obviously two vastly experienced and dangerous players and they can cause a lot of damage to us, but we tend to try to focus on what sort of damage we can cause the opposition.”

da aviator aposta： O Corinthians ainda está focado na reta final do Campeonato Brasileiro para garantir sua vaga direta na fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores, mas ao mesmo tempo já começa a se planejar para a temporada 2022. No entanto, de acordo com o presidente Duilio Monteiro Alves, não será um ano de grandes contratações, nem de Dentinho, mas sim de reforçar posições carentes.

Em evento após o sorteio dos grupos do Paulistão de 2022, na sede da Federação Paulista de Futebol, o mandatário do Timão falou com a reportagem da TNT Sports e foi questionado sobre uma possível volta de Dentinho ao clube, após o atacante deixar o Shakhtar Donetsk, da Ucrânia. A resposta foi direta sobre o não interesse do clube, neste momento, em repatriar o atleta.

-Dentinho é um grande amigo, trabalhamos juntos de 2009 a 2011, na minha primeira passagem, quando ele ainda estava no Corinthians, mas é uma posição que a gente entende que não tem carência. A gente pretende manter e aumentar cada vez mais o espaço para os nossos garotos, que vêm subindo da base e feito grandes jogos. Então essa é a nossa ideia, são reforços pontuais, e nesse momento o Dentinho não faz parte dos planos – declarou o dirigente.

Apesar de ter sido agressivo no mercado ao trazer quatro grandes reforços neste ano, os planos serão outros para 2022. De acordo com Duilio, a prioridade será contratar jogadores que possam suprir as carências do elenco atual. Dessa forma, as contratações devem acontecer em menor número e com menos grandes nomes do que foram trazidos nesses últimos meses.

-A gente vem se preparando, fazendo um planejamento para que a gente tenha um time forte no ano que vem. Iniciamos esse ano de 2021 fazendo uma reformulação grande no time, no elenco, agora a gente pretende reforçar um pouco em posições que a gente entende ter carência, mas nada de muitos reforços, é seguir essa linha que a gente vem fazendo para que o Corinthians tenha sucesso no Campeonato Paulista e em toda a temporada.

Segundo apurou o LANCE!, Paulinho é um reforço bem encaminhado para 2022 e já tem treinado no CT Joaquim Grava, mas sua oficialização deve ocorrer no fim deste ano ou no início do próximo. As partes não têm pressa para fechar o acordo. Outro alvo da diretoria é trazer um centroavante, seria a prioridade para suprir uma carência no elenco. Um novo zagueiro também pode chegar.

ELOGIOS A SYLVINHO

Para fechar a entrevista com a reportagem da TNT Sports, Duilio Monteiro Alves avaliou o trabalho de Sylvinho no comando do Corinthians. Para o presidente, a posição alcançada na tabela pelo treinador fala por si só. Além disso, ele pediu paciência e tem certeza que isso ainda vai trazer mais frutos para o clube.

-A velocidade das cobranças no futebol brasileiro é exagerada, a gente é questionado a cada derrota com a troca do treinador e agora até em um tempo do jogo, a cada 45 minutos, então a situação só piora, mas ele vem fazendo um grande trabalho, o Corinthians está em sexto lugar, tem condições de chegar em quarto nas próximas rodadas, então a gente entende que é um trabalho bem feito – disse Duilio antes de completar:

– Como eu coloquei, a gente fez esse ano como ano de reformulação, para que o Corinthians voltasse muito forte no ano de 2022, iniciamos o ano com todos falando que o Corinthians iria brigar para não cair e hoje a gente está brigando lá em cima na tabela, então enxergo que é um bom trabalho e entendo a cobrança pelo tamanho do Corinthians, mas a gente tem que ter um pouco mais de paciência no futebol e deixar com que os profissionais trabalhem, porque o resultado não tenho dúvida que aparece – finalizou.

Allege numerous improper procedures, five fellow board members and CEO Iain Higgins sued

Peter Della Penna20-Mar-2021

Two USA Cricket board members have filed a lawsuit against other board members as well as the chief executive of the organisation, alleging numerous improper procedures tied to the latest cycle of delayed elections. ESPNcricinfo has obtained a copy of the lawsuit, filed on March 8, in which Venu Pisike and Srini Salver filed the claim, and also listed USA Cricket as a co-plaintiff, but in which they have sued five fellow board members along with CEO Iain Higgins.USA Cricket issued a statement late on Friday evening, calling aspects of the suit “meritless” and arguing that fighting the suit could affect plans for the year: “If… it is required to further divert some of those limited resources into defending the organization from meritless legal claims and protecting the rights of its new membership, the Board will have no choice but to consider cutting some of its planned cricketing activities and developmental activities for 2021 and is scheduled to meet early next week to consider which activities must be scaled back.”Related

NFL executive Paraag Marathe named USA Cricket's chairman

The dispute, a throwback to the days of the expelled USA Cricket Association (USACA), stems from a series of administrative decisions from November 2020 in which the five board members are alleged to have voted in favour of approving a membership referendum to change voting procedures for the next election. The referendum called for an exception to be made in this election to allow new members to register to vote and grant immediate voting rights rather than allowing voting rights to be given after a 12-month membership, as required in the constitution.The plaintiffs allege that the five board members violated the constitution and claim that the referendum – sent out to USA Cricket’s 725 members at the time in November 2020 – did not receive the 67% supermajority as required. The five are alleged to have voted to approve the referendum with a simple majority (between 51% and 66%) of individual member votes. The lawsuit also alleges that Higgins tampered with the referendum voting process by having access to in-progress tracking of votes electronically submitted ahead of the final voting deadline, and that he directly contacted members who had yet to vote to encourage them to vote in favour of the referendum.In December, USA Cricket claimed that the referendum was approved by the board of directors “alongside independent legal advice that had been obtained from its expert legal counsel”, but didn’t state that it had passed with a 67% supermajority. USA Cricket refused to make public full voting results when asked by ESPNcricinfo, saying it was a “confidential” matter.The consequence of the resolution has been to expand the voting base from 725 members to nearly 20,000. Higgins has previously stated that passing of the referendum was to ensure “a more inclusive governance structure moving forward”. At least 141 leagues were subsequently listed by USA Cricket in which clubs and leagues were eligible to align themselves as part of the expanded individual membership sign-up period ending on March 15.A successful lawsuit could potentially be beneficial to someone like Pisike. Of the 725 members, 232 (32%) were based in Georgia, which is Pisike’s home territory and was a significant factor in his re-election. Expanding that would dilute a power base.In contrast, a board member like Ajith Bhaskar of New York, might gain from expanded membership. Bhaskar, a defendant in the suit, is currently up for reelection and New York is one of several areas believed to have experienced a strong surge in new membership registrations since the referendum was approved.Separately, the lawsuit also alleges that the process to reappoint Paraag Marathe to a second term as board chairman was unconstitutional. Marathe’s first term began following the August 2018 elections, in which seven newly voted-in board members chose him from among three independent directors – Marathe, Catherine Carlson and Rohan Sajdeh – to become the inaugural chairman. Marathe’s initial two-year term on the board technically came to an end last August, but prolonged delays have resulted in another election not yet taking place.The lawsuit claims that by the constitution a new chairman may only be elected following the Annual General Meeting after a constituent election. Currently, the terms of three board members – Suraj Vishwanathan, Bhaskar and Nadia Gruny – are up for re-election. But the lawsuit claims that multiple board members, whose terms have expired in August 2020, were allowed to vote in violation of the constitution to reappoint Marathe, rather than waiting for election results in which potentially different replacements on the board may vote differently.The suit also claims that USA Cricket violated the constitution by not having the current elections and an AGM by November 30, 2020. The constitution states an AGM and elections must be held by the end of November every year. However, there was no AGM or election in 2019, instead delayed to February 2020.The question likely to arise is whether or not a legal interpretation would determine that the February 2020 elections should retroactively be regarded as the 2019 election.Regardless, Pisike and Salver are seeking an injunction to block the current election process from allowing it to continue. Instead, the suit argues that the 725 USA Cricket individual members that were in place as of November 2020 should be the ones allowed to vote and that they have since been disenfranchised by having their memberships, stripped and required to go through a fresh registration process. The suit also seeks to remove Marathe pending the results of the upcoming election.

da marjack bet： Vitor Pereira had penned a new contract at Wolverhampton Wanderers back in September.

da lvbet： Yet, as we now enter November, the Portuguese boss is no longer occupying the Molineux hot-seat, with the Old Gold yet to collect a Premier League win this season from ten matches.

It is going to be a huge task for whoever takes on the reins after Pereira to try and turn around Wolves’ miserable season, with a surprise return for Gary O’Neil reportedly once on the cards.

However, despite allegedly entering talks about coming back to the top-flight’s basement club, the ex-Wolves manager pulled out of a shock reunion.

This could be a blessing in disguise in the West Midlands, with O’Neil enduring a tough end to his previous Old Gold spell…

Where things went wrong for O'Neil at Wolves

Going back in for a previous manager to try and turn around a sinking ship very rarely works out.

O’Neil did manage to keep Wolves up during his first campaign in charge during the 2022/23 season, as a depleted Old Gold side that no longer had the likes of Ruben Neves and Raul Jimenez on their books soared to 14th in the league standings.

It’s the woeful start to his second campaign in charge that would likely have not made this an appointment to go down well with the already disgruntled Molineux masses.

Indeed, Wolves only managed to collect a dire two wins from 16 games before he was given his marching orders, having also conceded a calamitous 40 goals along the way.

Therefore, expecting O’Neil to return and be a transformative appointment would have been viewed as far-fetched, with Wolves chairman Jeff Shi even admitting when he got rid of the 42-year-old that he had “cut ties too late.”

Thankfully, Pereira worked out in the short term. But, now, Wolves need another fresh set of ideas to get them out of a similar mess, as a former Old Gold player turned successful manager continues to be linked with the vacancy.

Expand Collapse Wolves' outstanding O'Neil alternative

Wolves have been linked with a whole host of different and unique names, with ex-Molineux goal machine Robbie Keane even throwing his hat into the ring.

But, it appears now that current Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards is high up on the priority list to replace Pereira, with talkSPORT naming Edwards as a ‘strong contender’ to get the job.

It’s noted that former Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, is also on their radar, although Edwards is currently ahead of the Dutchman to get the job.

The current Boro boss has a release clause in his contract at the Riverside and could soon make a return to the Premier League.

Immediately, with his previous connections to the club as a player and as a former U21 coach, it could be a good fit.

That’s before you even take into account the admirable job he did at Luton Town, who were rooted towards the foot of the Premier League division throughout the 2023/24 campaign.

Against all the odds, the much-loved Edwards nearly kept Luton afloat in the Premier League, as the Boro boss made the Hatters a stern team to try and break down.

That led to the minnows picking up a 1-1 draw against Liverpool that season, and saw them compete with Arsenal all the way at Kenilworth Road in a 4-3 defeat. Remarkably, that is the last time the Gunners have shipped three goals in any game of football.

Mikel Arteta even commended Edwards for how “difficult” he had made Luton to beat, with Wolves in some dire need of the same grit and application to try and get them out of their horrible hole.

It wasn’t all just attritional performances, though, as Edwards also managed to turn Carlton Morris into an 11-goal hero in the top-flight. That will be music to the ears of a misfiring Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has only one league strike next to his name this season.

But, as can be seen watching the highlight reel above, the imposing Norwegian did manage to fire home 14 goals last campaign, as he attempts to become Edwards’ next focal point, if the ex-Luton manager is handed the reins.

Described as an opportunity that will be “hard for him to say no to” by journalist Graeme Bailey, it will be intriguing to see if Edwards does end up swapping a top-of-the-table position in the EFL for another basement battle in the league above.

With a bit between his teeth now at the Riverside Stadium, it could be time for Edwards to mount a Premier League return, having also previously been lauded as “one of English football’s brightest and best young coaches.”

Doesn’t that sound good, Wolves fans?
