They should be dominating like psg in that league and they're struggling to break into the top 2. Luton Town are above them. Jack Ross is clearly Fergie mkII tho.

It sits beside the Levein is only responsible for the poor signings argument. Anyone who thinks Ian Cathro will EVER be a football manager never watched us play under him or saw one of his baffling pressers.

Nothing any worse than Leveins public destruction of Vanecek, the guy he had just handed a huge contract on very good wages. Did Vanecek not come out and say the gaffer was right to criticise? Very good wages and he turns up unfit to play. The manager being critical as he hyped himself up so much? Maybe have a look at Vanecek and criticise him as well.

Never a manager in a month of Sunday’s and it was a huge mistake to employ him as such. Jack Ross probably would have been Hearts manager had he not been getting happy endings from the physio. There are other scenarios out there as to why Jack Ross was shown the door and it wasn't the one you mention. He refused to comply with CL's wishes regarding how to set up the under 20's was certainly one I heard. I am not saying that your account is untrue but just pointing out what I heard.

The whole Jack Ross episode was a puzzle. I'm guessing that wavydavy is on to it and that Jack Ross, like Craig Levein, is a strong character who wasn't buying in to the CL succession theory. He maybe didn't agree with how CL wanted to play the game and wasn't going to wait his turn in the management conveyor. In 43 years of non management work I saw that kind of thing quite a lot. Sometimes it worked out for the individuals concerned and sometimes they just had too high an opinion of themselves. Time will tell. Craig Levein, when all is said and done, has managed at a very high level, so has Ann Budge, in fact much higher. She will have her own ideas.

Are Cathro’s and Leveins philosophies miles apart? I’m not so sure. Both fanatics about possession , plenty of passing around with little penetration and a tendency to over think team selections to nullify the opposition. Plus, no serious DoF appoints a Head Coach who holds radically different philosophies. The whole point of the DoF is to provide continuity between successive Head Coaches and ensure the general ethos of the play is maintained. I do wonder what Cathro would do now if he were given a second chance. Wolves play a high-tempo game that relies of pace and getting forward quickly and in numbers.
