New Manager Search *BACK ON*

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Would people take Nuno back?

I say yes but I feel that is mainly nostalgia but also fear of our current position.

I would but that’s very much a heart over head response. I know it would be unlikely to end well but I can’t help loving the man!

That tweet has to be a bit of a wind up though?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Best we can hope is someone to come in and stabilise the club, keep us up and then go again next pre-season.

It’s shocking that we’ve got to this position.

2019-20 season we were probably two or three good signings away from pushing for Europe every year. It’s negligence from Shi/Fosun that we have ended up here.

Since Dalrymple & Thelwell (love them or hate them) we basically have a vacumn at the top. I think a lot of the comments after Nuno left, not being interested in the rest of the club etc, are quite telling - it should be the DoF etc taking care of that. Nuno was the first team head coach.

Dalrymple was the bigger loss. He didn't get everything right but he provided a friendly face connecting the club to the fans (doing a similar thing at Harlequins now).
Since he has gone Jeff has decided we don't need to replace him and instead we get piss poor comms and ideas from the likes of Vinny C. Notice how quite he has gone since the fans reaction to him was less than kind.

I don't think the situation created by Jeff changes until he goes, whether by choice or Fosun want him out

Bibs & Cones...

I know it's been on here a good few times, but that's just a brilliant name for him Dan.

And as much as Nuno struggled to evolve the team's style here, his final season also coincided with the club tightening its belt.

I don't for one second think he's on his way back, but it is an interesting counterfactual to consider: would things have turned out differently for Nuno if he'd been been the beneficiary at the end of the 20/21 season of the transfer spending that Lage received at the end of the 21/22 season?

Alex Crook saying we won't have anyone in place by Saturday.

Déjà fucking vu

Unlikely at this stage rather than 100% won't

If it is Lopes though he will, at best, be in the stands as he isn't getting to us until Thursday/Friday is he signs up anyways

 

[Tredman]

Palace shortly after too - need to get someone in this week.

Sadly this is very similar to other Chinese business models I've encountered.

Eventually it fails as the two cultures aren't compatible. American investment models fail for the same reason.

 

[Jinky]

It will be Lopetegui. I'd expect him in the stands this weekend and then taking training from Monday next week.

Means we're relying on Davis & Collins to somehow get us a win v Forest, though.

3 games under the youth coaches with players who don't give a shit is asking for relegation.

 

[Derby Wolf]

If Lopetgui turned us down, I'd be tempted* to take Nuno on until the end of the season, he knows a chunk of the players, could rekindle Raul, and get us moving. My caveat would be even if he got us 10th he doesn't stay beyond May.

That being said I don't think Nuno would ever be a starter giving it would require Hubris Jeff to accept, even tacitly he got it comprehensively and spectacularly wrong.

The not having any football people in senior positions and over promoting an academy coach/killer is really coming home to roost.

*I would much rather a diligent manager search and not risking some of my best Wolves memories.

 

[Wolftone]

We have to 'find solutions'. And Nuno isn't one of them.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I wonder if Mendes has any DoF types in his stable. Presumably he does?

We would have one if he did and we wanted one

 

[Tredman]

I don't think that issue lies with Mendes, its Jeff who thinks he can do it all.

Probably, was just wondering if that might be something that happens at some point.

Although it's us as fans that think Sellars is shite, we have no idea what Shi thinks of him, but surely to christ the Adama and Coady deals don't leave a good impression (nor probably loaning out Fabio and then scrambling around for a striker), but then again Shi would have signed off on them anyway.

He's it
