13 clubs have won the Football League / Premier League title 3 or more times (PL after 1992 / FL before 1992) so using that as the basis for deciding 'success' Wolves would sit in the top 20 quite comfortably.

We would be lower.

I remember them being pretty high up from those points systems a few years ago.

We'd be considerably lower I agree. Given we've never won a major competition, got to a major finals and spent only two seasons in the top flight.

That's right Spacey, Wolves have won the top flight in more seasons than we've been fricking in it!

So any manager would be better off at Reading, since we have done so well the last few seasons, rather than Wolves, or a clutch of other teams with better potential than us.

Ian Royal Spacey, you're a cock (that one's not for Rother).

Wolves have got to be close to being one of the 20 most successful clubs in the country, if not there. They have fairly decent support too (numbers).


Calm down. I didn't really mean that they are small or anywhere close to our size, I was disputing the assertion that they are massive. I think they're big, but not that big. They've spent quite some time in the middle two tiers over the last three decades, so they've definitely faded. Having won some trophies in the distant past does not make them still massive.

Ian Royal Roy Keane saying something is more likely to make it not true than true.


And I wasn't even oxf*rd serious.


The assertion was that they had a massive history, not that they are massive....you even said it directly in your post you tool!

wolves are more massive than us, by any measure

apart from measuring by where we finished three and a half seasons ago

Thaumagurist* I see I was nearly right. English champions only three times.

Spacey, sometimes even you manage to outfuckwit yourself.

Besides, I wouldn't want that fake Irishman at Reading.


On what basis is McCarthy 'fake' ?
