Don_Simon Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Deano is class. I love him at Villa. Fan as coach, fan as captain, its wonderful. The love-in Wolves fans have for Nuno is beyond weird though. Tattoo's, tears, a friend of a friend has a framed poster of Nuno on the wall of his front room. The Athletic writer for Wolves wrote yesterday about the "unforgettable, lifetime memories" Nuno created. They got promoted. Then came 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then came 7th. at a time when villa and west brom were shit FTFY their problem was they did some serious peacocking during the good times, i lost count at the number of wolves fans who laughed at me when i warned them how big the jump was to the big boys "we're different" no you're **** not! they truly believed the momentum would keep going sadly i think some of our own fans believe it with us now...so do leeds fans...its a huge mountain to climb, rigged against you too 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pas5898 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Reports they are closing in on Bruno Lage as the next manager. A lot of negativity online about the appointment. Is he that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he that bad? He has nothing on his CV, not even sure if hes a client of mendes but it's very easy to write him off as being gifted the job as his mate He could represent the negative side of mendes being there Which seeing as he also flogged them a load of players who weren't ready last summer and wasted £35m on Semedo I'm not sure how much good will there is towards mendes at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 One of their main reporters had said that as well as Lage other 'big names' had expressed interest in the job, I think Wolves fans were getting their hopes up that it would be someone like Lopetegui, Fonseca, or Benitez, don't know anything about him but Rúben Amorim was also getting mentioned as well.

It's really not much to brag about, but I guess they would have taken any opportunity they could get really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's seems to be the recent order from the top of their country is putting a stop on silly money on football.

I watched a bit of Benfica when Portugal league restarted last June a few weeks before prem and they were awful. From what I remember aswell Benfica were playing 4-2-3-1 so that's a big problem for Wolves going forward with manager who wants to play a back 4 as Boly and Coady were hopless in that formation v decent prem attacks when it was trialed a few times. Surprised they haven't gone in for Paulo Fonseca who didn't have a great end of season with Roma but he's a vastly experienced manager. Will just be another transitional season for Wolves. May sneak into 10th if Jimenez comes back as good as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno apparently walked out MON style as he was told a few weeks back they'd have to sell to buy this summer and use season long loans so does seems Fosun are slowly realising just like Lerner did a decade ago how much you need to invest to get top 4 and are baulking at that.
