Kev Mac

The Wolves site is reporting that Kev Mac has completed his move to Fulham.

Three year deal with an undisclosed fee..

Will KJ stay or will he go? Only two weeks till the start of the season so we need to get bodies in asap.

The past twelve months have been one to forget for McDonald in a Wolves shirt. It's a good deal if you ask me, Wolves have to look at getting in a much better type of player.

McDonald Joins Fulham

I do not believe for one second that a new owner would have permitted our most creative player to be sold if we didn't have a replacement in the wings. Otherwise it doesn't make sense! This deal must have been on going for months, enough time for a prospective new owner to evaluate our squad and given that Jorge mendes has been heavily linked with this deal, and is linked to FOSUN, then I believe this has to be the case. I'm sorry to see KMac leave but once the we'd lost Sako, Dicko and then Afobe and the 'runs' they made, without replacing that speciality, Kevin's game was done. He was never a holding midfielder and Jackett is limited when it comes to changing tactics. KJ fell lucky with the three strikers and McDonald but once the front three had gone, to be replaced by short, static strikers he only knew defensive. I think Jackett will be gone before next week is out if not sooner!

I agree with your comments about KMac Plates. On the subject of KJ, my thoughts are rather different. He did a fantastic job in his first season, sidelining the dross and winning League 1 with a record number of points. In his second season he got so near to the play-offs, but couldn't quite make it. Last season, he had very little going for him with a massive injury problem and Sako leaving and Afobe and Stearman being sold. The main irritation last season was with his apparently bizarre, at times, substitutions, or lack of them. What we don't know is what his brief was. He is no fool and well qualified from the coaching point of view.

New owners will probably want to stamp their mark on the proceedings with a new manager and a large change of staff. With the financial support of a keen owner, I think KJ would surprise a lot of people. In the final analysis, I just want to see our team do well, with or without KJ. If he goes elsewhere, he will do much better in the long run than some may imagine.

Hold on a second Woking. Yes he cleared out the 'trouble makers', and I applaud him for that. I'll also grant you he did do a good job in the First Division, winning it with record points, but be honest, any half decent manager with the squad KJ had should have got us out of that division easily. The rest of my case I've already explained in my own post except to say I could have more out of his squad and tactics than he did after he lost those front three! I might well hold you to your last sentence at some future date but don't hold your breath!!!!!

Disappointed to see KMac go but who knows what's round the corner- personally i'm fed up of the speculation and want to see results now.

KJ- that same lack of tactical nous is what stopped us going up, particularly the abject surrender and lack of changes at St Andrews. The main problem last season is everyone had sussed us and there wasn't a Plan B, and KJ did not know his best team. Assuming he is replaced this week i'd thank him for getting us back from League 1 and move on.
