Welcome to Wolves Nuno Espirito Santo

[Tony Towner]

Marshall and Silvio wouldn't have the engine to play as wingbacks, I wouldn't trust Doherty to do that job any more than I'd trust Prince Phillip on a cultural visit to China.

3-4-3 is in vogue but we'd need so many new players all over the place to make it even vaguely viable.

When I feel sorry for Lambert I think of that 5 at the back first half formation against Rotherham with Saiss playing the quarterback role with no options and Coady and Saville at wing back and suddenly my pity drains away

If Carlsberg did birthday presents...

Fucking well chuffed at this appointment.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah I'm sure Copenhagen and Brugge were lovely during the winter months when he was managing in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE last season.

Leicester was the usual shit tip though

Leicester was the usual shit tip though

Parts of Leicester are very nice, but areas such as Highfields and Eyres Monsell are possibly places to avoid.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Scraptoft is decent enough

Quite an interesting read -

It certainly is. And a few years back the Scraptoft Vally WMC was home to possibly the best ever Sunday league team in Leicestershire.

Oops, sorry for going off topic.

 

[Premier Quality]

Really happy with this one - especially as he's apparently insistent on a passing style - I'm a big fan of teams that pass and move, and have technical ability, I'd love to see us develop that way.

They can still press, and run a lot if course, and show some pashun...

Clearly not the finished article, but then we were never going to be able to attract that.

If he can do well & the team get promotion then he could well give us a few years stability to achieve something. Hopefully he doesn't have a shitty start & we give him enough time

 

[SLB]

Nuno? Someone is paying back to Mendes a favour!

 

[Jinky]

Here they are.

 

[Langers]

Where? <squints>

 

[Norman Deeley]

Assistant - Rui Pedro Silva

GK coach - Rui Barbosa

Fitness coach - Antonio Dias

Well that's a start: a fitness coach that looks fit

 

[Norman Deeley]

Champions League last year - some decent results for Porto and theri coaching team is now at Wolves. Bloody hell... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016–17_UEFA_Champions_League

 

[Stan Hullis]

Well that's a start: a fitness coach that looks fit

What is that supposed to mean?

 

[Kenny]

Tony Daley was a fat knacker? The state of him....

Or Norman is actually a 15 year old girl...

 

[Stan Hullis]

Clearly hasn't seen Tony Daley then, the guy is a beast.

 

[leedswolf]

I think this is the first time I've ever been really excited about a Wolves managerial appointment. Clearly it will end in disaster now :icon_lol:

This.

It really is mind-boggling that we have got that Porto coaching team at Wolves!

As for the comment I saw a little earlier "Nuno? Someone is paying back to Mendes a favour!"... I think it is Mendes who has done US a huge favour! There is no way we should be able to attract a manager with that pedigree at the moment with where we are
