Welcome to Wolves Vitor Pereira

I’m pleased we’ve got a proper manager now rather than that joker but I can’t really warm to the guy for some reason.

Maybe it’s because I just don’t see him as a long term solution.
I get what you mean. I think it could be because he's quite to the point with his answers to the media & we've not really seen much of his 'personality', as such - so difficult to warm to someone that you just don't know. That's not a slight on his character, though. I think it might be more to do with his level of English etc.

He seems alright. I can't say I'm a huge fan of how the Craig Dawson situation has been handled and then Vitor publicly airing he "hasn't seen him since", but it's difficult to know how much of that is down to Vitor himself and then Jeff/Hobbs etc. We obviously went through a flurry of pissing off long standing players of the club (Coady, Ruddy etc) and I was sort of hoping we'd moved on from it - but I think these kinds of things will keep happening until Jeff is no longer involved with the club.

Yeah it's exactly that. There's no point in liking the guy because we all know he's got two years tops.
 
Last manager i really liked it still haven't got over him leaving.

Not doing that again so as long as Vitor keeps us up i will admire him but from a safe distance and when he goes, it won't hurt.

It's been good of Jeff to install managers since Nuno that are hard to love. Clearly done to protect us all, mentally...
 
Well the 3 managers post Nuno haven't lasted 18 months, so if Vitor lasts 2 years he's on a roll.

Nuno's win ratio of 47.7% is the second best ever for a Wolves manager, behind Ted Vizard at 48.9% and narrowly beating Stan Cullis at 46.8.

As long as he keeps us up i'll be happy enough - I don't think he'll be in for a long tenure either way though as some have said already.
 
I should also add with Nuno if you back out the abomination of a season that was 20/21 his record was P157, W81, D40, L36 for a winning percentage of 51.6%.

Yet Jeff Shi knew better.
 
I hope they’re already looking at potential successors regardless of how long VP will be here. Given our financial circumstances we can’t keep bringing in managers who want to change the way we play, it just leaves you with a disjointed squad that isn’t fit for purpose. VP has quite rightly identified we lacked physicality and wants to play 3 at the back and it makes no sense replacing him with someone who wants four new players just to enable him to play the way they want. Man United were a mess but by bringing Amorin in they’ve got worse in the short term, the difference though is MU will find the funds to allow Amorin to bring in what he needs/wants, we don’t.
 
We are going to have a decent sized rebuilding of the squad on our hands anyway in the Summer, no matter what league we are in.

Throw Vitor's own record into the mix, most jobs have barely been a year
 
Key is staying up regarding VP. By his own admission his career long ambition has been to work in the Premier League which we have now given him the chance to do. He seems very pleased to be here and unlike Lop, doesn't have an overblown opinion of himself and doesn't appear to think he is doing us a favour by being here so if we stay up, I can't see him itching to walk out if not getting his own way (within reason) and is he the profile to attract better offers? To most clubs he is under the radar and probably a bit long in the tooth for the vogue for young managers
