Corkman Brian Barry-Murphy is being linked with the Wolves managerial position if the rock bottom Premier League club execute their second sacking of the season.<\/p>\n
According to Talksport, an eighth straight defeat for Rob Edwards at Manchester United on Tuesday could convince the Wolves hierarchy to bring the brief stint of Edwards to a premature end.<\/p>\n
He controversially walked out on Middlesbrough after just four months in November to rejoin the club he played for but there\u2019s been no managerial bounce.<\/p>\n
Their 11-game losing streak, a Premier League record, leaves Wolves marooned at the foot of the table on just two points from 18 games, a mammoth 16 points off safety.<\/p>\n
Irish international Matt Doherty last week urged his teammates to avoid being remembered as \u201ccowards\u201d amidst their seemingly perilous plight.<\/p>\n
Edwards would become the first manager in top-flight history to lose eight games on the trot unless he stops the rot at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
That, reportedly, has triggered a contingency plan by the club\u2019s Chinese owners, Fosun International.<\/p>\n
They recently promoted former Everton and Wigan Athletic defender Matt Jackson to technical director and Talksport claim that Cardiff City boss Barry-Murphy is one of three potential replacements \u2018sounded out\u2019 by the leadership.<\/p>\n
Derek McInnes, in charge of current Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts, is another, along with former boss Gary O\u2019Neill \u2013 who spurned a return immediately after Vitor Pereira\u2019s sacking.<\/p>\n
Barry-Murphy \u2013 son of Cork GAA legend Jimmy \u2013 is highly regarded on the UK managerial circuit.<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old is on track to deliver on his mandate of taking Cardiff City straight back to the Championship by leading the League One table after 22 games.<\/p>\n
He has previous experience as boss of Rochdale and Manchester City\u2019s development squad.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no guarantee of Barry-Murphy being amenable to uprooting after just six months in Wales, when the likelihood is Cardiff and Wolves will be both operating in the same division next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Corkman Brian Barry-Murphy is being linked with the Wolves managerial position if the rock bottom Premier League club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2110,61,60,112],"class_list":["post-217427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-cork-sport","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
