Welcome to Wolves Vitor Pereira

His English is good. Says the club is open to the January transfer market but he wants time to study what we already had at the club.

Not sure if Cunha playing Saturday!

Says we need results first and foremost to breed confidence.

Said him and his staff have watched games prior to arrival. Mentioning confidence a lot and also creating a tactical identity. Said that started yesterday

He looks a bit like Eli Wallach from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
 
He's brought 5 staff with him.

Didn't confirm Semedo's captaincy, said he's still studying.

Just been a piece on SSN live from the training ground, the reporter said that VP had the players working on lots of different drills and the players seemed to be responding well to him

Looking forward to his first PC later

Better than standing about mooning him and his team I guess
 
Reading between the lines it sounds like he has a way of playing but with the players we currently have he'll have to adapt to what hehas at this disposal.

But then said the next step is new players to add to that

He said 'humble' :D
 
I liked him, but got the impression he's not here to fuck about or allow the players to do so.
I think if anyone can reel Ran into the system he wants, Vic can.
 
I think we’ve left it too late and we’re likely down. I also think there’s a good chance we’re onto a third manager before the end of the season.

OK, that said, there is some ground for optimism, however misplaced that might turn out to be. I do think it’s hard to overstate how bad GON and as importantly his coaching team were. What was served up for months on end pointed to a catastrophic lack of the most rudimentary managerial capacity. New guy is evidently a marriage of convenience. That said, my hunch is he’s a more serious character than Zenga MKII. A decent bunch of our perfectly acceptable playing staff should be immediately aware of what he’ll ask them to do as it will be familiar from their pre-O’Neil football careers. Midfield especially. I personally doubt he’ll be rewarding limited triers (JRB, Hwang, Doyle - bit unfair on the last one), and we’ve got some others in the squad who might (perhaps, maybe) respond with the speed needed (like, this weekend) to his methods. That just never looked plausible to me with O’Neil given he was so far sub-Carrick.

I still think we’ve left it too late and there’s a good chance it goes badly wrong.
 
Suspect Hwang will get plenty of time if he can stay fit. VP apparently adores a forward that runs his nuts off
 
Cunha is playing Sunday as it stands as we've not heard back from FA
 
How he comes across in a press conference will count for nothing if we lose at Leicester on Sunday...

Having said that, he sounded how I'd want our manager to sound. Assured, confident, straight to the point.

Several questions tried to make him follow O'Neil's 'woe is me' attitude, but he wouldn't. Didn't talk down the quality of the players and didn't make out like he was taking on an impossible challenge.

A welcome change from O'Neil.

Think it's a bit harsh to label Hwang and Bellegarde as limited triers as well as Doyle. I've never seen any of those not put loads of effort in tbh, lack of skill or physicality certainly. I'd say Hwangs best attributes are scoring goals and his pressing, pity he can't trap or control the ball or stay fit for 5 minutes.

Sorry. I mean they were limited, but they try.

I agree. A breath of fresh air after his hapless predecessor. Unlike O’Neil he said he had some very good players and that he wants to build confidence so that players can express themselves and make things happen within an effective system. If he gets reasonable backing in January I feel very confident we will be OK.
