Meh.

Rui Vitoria

Former Benfica boss Rui Vitoria in running for Wolves job

Vitor Pereira was sacked by the Premier League’s bottom side on Sunday.

Has exactly the same shit CV as VP.

Sounds about right.

 

[Lupo]

Apparently he's up for taking the job which places him above just about every other manager/head coach in world football

 

[Lupo]

Daniele De Rossi going to Genoa so won't be him

 

[SSB]

Jorgen Strand Larsen:-

“He had confidence in me last year, and was important to me when I found my form. And he was important when the team found its form over the winter.

“That’s how football is. It hasn’t worked, and maybe this is what we need.

“There are many exciting names being mentioned, we will probably get more information later in the week.

"The most important thing for us is to bring in a manager who can light a new spark in the group.

I second EP's 'Meh'

A 'Meh' is a step up from 'Fuck...NOOOOOOO' which was the GON/Lage reaction though, so there's that

 

[prawnking]

Plays with a back 4. He'll fucking love our full-back options!

 

[Lycan]

Placeholder until the end of the season.

He's dull. Benfica fans hated him at the end. Not a complete cunt of a man though so that's something at least.

 

[Langers]

Dull and uninspiring is a lot better than I was expecting.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

At this point, just give it to someone like Keane. No idea what he’s like as a manager but at least I like him.

 

[Indy Wolf]

Makes no sense why a former manager would come back to wolves in the first place. Hmmm, you'd get promised a huge January window signings, no expense too high. Plans for a summer window, that don't come true. Don't win any games to start the next season. Get sacked. Yeah, no way that couldn't happen, AGAIN

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't buy that we approached Lage, or that he would turn it down.

Agree.

Lage is a cunt. He would have taken it just to spite us.

We won’t be paying compensation for anyone so that’s rules out Keane/Edwards etc.

It’s a placeholder from Mendes until the end of the season. Then probably a Edwards/Carrick type appointment for the championship next season.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Wait till we've exhausted the search for a manager and Shi appoints himself and starts picking the side.

Was it Hearts where that actually happened and the chairman was picking the side?

 

[sycophantia]

Rui Vitoria must be favourite now. Mendes man, no compo. Not looking forward to another mediocre journeyman, rather take a risk with Keane.

The Lithuanian guy yeah

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Plays with a back 4. He'll fucking love our full-back options!

Mosquera and Wolfe?

 

[1986]

Mosquera and Wolfe?

Well we have to try something different than H Bueno and Hoever .

Jackson is there as well as another option .

I think Wolfe deserves a shot in the starting team at this point . Mosquera too - now that Agbadou is suspended , will have to be considered .
On the basis that Collins and Walker will be picking the team for Chelsea - it will be interesting to see what they come up with .

Anything to suggest he'll get us creating anything like the goalscoring chances we now need to create in order to get some wins from somewhere?

My issue is that whilst Vitor made some mad decisions and clearly lost the plot including falling out with players towards the end, I don't know actually see how anyone could get a tune out of the dog shit squad we have, particularly given the lack of pace and creativity.
