Nuno to leave Wolves

[Johnny75]

It's in the article that some knew. Apparently the entire squad was told yesterday after the press conference as news outlets had gotten wind and wanted to break it.

Shows the article is a load of made up shite.

 

[The Bion]

I'd hope RAN is still on at the very least. We can't go into next season with Marcal or Saiss (!) as our LB options

 

[Johnny75]

Johnny going to love the view that the loss of Thelwell is seen as key.

More bollocks from that shitehawk.

 

[Wolvensam]

Hasn't it been reported that due to staying up we have to sign Vitinha now? I imagine we will still sign both.

 

[Tony Towner]

Read the Spiers piece. Instead of a source close to the dressing room he should have put "Matt Doherty said".

A lot of it is guesswork or the narrative the club want to put out there, as no doubt Nuno had lost his Mojo is the best pacification line they can run with, whether that's the truth or not who knows.

The Leicester line is also one that's been fed, but to develop a Chilwell or Thomas they need to be in your system in the first place, Harry Maguire at Hull isn't the profile we would sign either. It sounds very reasonable, but it's not as simplistic as painted.

The one thing Spiers has been consistent on is the low net spend this Summer, this would give him the chance to u turn on that which he hasn't. We have underperformed this season, but not to the degree I fear Fosun think IF that is accurate

 

[Sniffer]

With or without Nuno, there’s areas of the squad that need to be improved. The narrative regarding next to no transfer funds and we’ll have to sell to buy then that would be worrying.
I can’t see it being correct.

 

[Sniffer]

It seems that he has little or no inside information with the clubs hierarchy yet he knows what the transfer budget is.
It doesn’t stack up.

 

[The Bion]

Asking someone to come in and improve on what Nuno did without means to re-shape the squad is a hell of an ask.

There's only so much the likes of Mir etc will bring in.

 

[Tony Towner]

It only stacks up if he's being used to put it out there to set fan expectation levels

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There's too much noise around for it not to be a de facto sacking. Which makes it an absolutely shocking call by the club.

We haven't been *that* bad this season. Nowhere near relegation (despite what some of our fans fretted about), without even playing especially well there are loads of games where we should have got more than we did, and virtually all of it without our best player.

We're not going to upgrade on Nuno. We can't. So by default, you're weakening the most important component of the club. All at a time when we don't have a particularly strong structure above whoever the manager happens to be - there's no football background anywhere on the board and no DoF of any note. Sellars' background is exclusively in youth football and this "branding" role we've handed to Matt Jackson is just weird.

A shit decision that will inevitably take us backwards, potentially a very long way.

 

[AndyWolves]

Isn't it simply a case of not telling the world we have a pot of gold if/when we come calling

 

[PuntsWolf]

Think from my calculations from before we have the ability to spend about £120m and still be within the rules.

Now I’m not saying we will spend that, i wouldn’t expect us to but a net spend of £60m or whatever isn’t going to be enough with a new manager (unless we get another £60m in fees in, but that isnt going to happen without selling Neves).

£30m is already pre invested in RAN and Vitinha. So that doesn’t leave a lot left to spend. Mir, Vinagre, Cutrone, Jordao, Bonatini, Ronan, Campana, Giles, Dadashov etc. I don’t think that brings in more than another £30m and more than half of that is from the first 2.

If we sell first team players then that just creates even more holes to fill.

Suppose you can add compo if we go for a manager who is already employed.

We're not going to upgrade on Nuno. We can't.

We can - Nuno has done great things for Wolves but is a bit of a one-trick pony - yes, there are many, many worse options, but we can get someone who can make us less predictable, more creative and improve set pieces and throw ins too.

This thread is way more negative than any match thread that's ever existed, some of this talk is just silly.

Hearts and emotions ruling over heads...much like a matchday thread.

 

[Templeton Peck]

The finances weren't a massive issue as we basically needed 2-3 players to make 4231 work. A decent CB and MC could be brought in for 60m. That's before we get in to selling Cutrone Vinagre and Mir.

Rui
Semedo Boly New RAN
Neves New
Neto New Podence
Jimenez

All bets are off now though.

I guess it’s hard to understand if you’re not a Wolves fan.

I often agree with you mate and having slept on it (I'm still a bit emotional) I think I disagree with this. I don't think there's any inevitability to it taking us backwards at all and it sounds like a decision that has been carefully thought out, mulled over and ultimately the best for both parties.

I'm not saying I think it's the right decision, but I do think it has been made because Fosun are still invested in the project and want us to progress. Everything had gone a bit stale this season, whether for one reason or another, so something had to give.

One thing I will say is I'm glad it has been done now and not October.

 

[Freddeno]

How many would follow him though? Neves worst case I think who we wouldn't want to go (I don't think he will).

Funds can come from selling Mir, Vinagre etc.

maybe Mir will get a second chance now then
