CNN Portugal reporting Lage has been sacked

[Contrarian]

Yesterday was the exception……you make it sound like Bruno plays Neves there every game.

Neves should not play there for *any* game. Any more than Sa should play wing back.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Why?

Because we have a game next week and we need a manager to take training whilst we sort out the successor. Moutinho has over 140 international appearances, god knows how many club appearances at the highest level, he’ll have picked things up. In his prime he could run a game. As a temporary manager looking at the club who else is there.

That's not unusual!

 

[Contrarian]

No not solutions from within

It's going to be Jeff as caretaker, isn't it?

 

[LosgallardosWolf]

Nothing on O/S

It’s been mentioned he wants to go into coaching, but has he done any of his badges.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Had to go he's taken us backwards

 

[Hawkguy]

Absolutely. The Newcastle match was the one for me. Pinned in and couldn’t get out of our half. Traore played well last match in the cup. Nope… brings on hwang.

I think my warmth towards him is purely blind loyalty as I want every wolves manager to succeed.

I liked him. He came in and really wanted to play an attacking style. And it was exciting for awhile. But he could never change the mindset here.

Similar to Nuno, once he lost his way, he could not adapt and recover. It's too bad because I loved the idea of attacking relentlessly.

Nuno's subs in the last part of his tenure was just like Lage. They made no sense. The difference is... Lage had 100 million of new players to work with and still couldn't make anything happen whereas Nuno got little extra backing.

Whoever is next, I hope they have a history of being able to adapt. Because our last two have not been able too.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Agreed

 

[NorthWolf]

Wolves sack head coach Bruno Lage

Wolves have sacked head coach Bruno Lage after 16 months in charge.

[Hawkguy]

I guess. UK sources are reporting now like Percy and Keen.

The same source reported Nunes first I believe.

 

[Wolf-Pack]

Bruno Lage sacked by struggling Wolves with club in relegation zone

Wolverhampton Wanderers have parted company with manager Bruno Lage after winning just 1 of their last 15 matches in the Premier League - stretching back to April

www.mirror.co.uk

 

[LosgallardosWolf]

BBC just put it out

 

[RichB]

I don’t know if any of them are even interested

Well this is true. I suspect Lopetegui would be interested.

My money is on Jeff Shi player manager.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Please…..please….Jeff.
offer BIG money to attract a top notch coach

 

[NottsWolves]

Isn’t Benitez available???? Sure I read he wanted to come back to the premier league

 

[Ned]

Good decision. Probably should have been at the end of the season and nearly was if the rumours were true.

There is still time to save the season if we get this appointment right.

 

[Andywolf74]

Yep just seen it on BBC. No surprise and please this time appoint a manager that isn’t coming off the back of a sacking.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Nuno wasn’t so bad, was he Jeff?

 

[VancouverWolf]

It's going to be Jeff as caretaker, isn't it?

Yes!

 

[old wittonian]

Don’t joke about that. I could imagine it happening and that scares me a lot

Jeff seems to do everything else. Where's Doris these days.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

The @Wolves hierarchy felt they had no choice other than to act given results and fan reaction. Thought unlikely Lage's replacement will be in place for Saturday's trip to Chelsea.

Simon Stone, BBC.

 

[Timberwolf]

Huh! Maybe my mate was right…I’d best ring him and apologise for the text messages I’ve sent him.

Apparently, club asked support staff not to communicate until ALL senior players were notified. Some players were not responding to clubs contact and still haven’t replied. Some will be finding out by social media.

 

[NottsWolves]

Suggests they have been planning for it with a list of candidates

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Is Tony Roberts still with us? I can see him being put in charge until Sevilla pull their finger out and sack Lopetegui. That's a prediction, not a wish!

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Nuno wasn’t so bad, was he Jeff?

The fact when Nuno went opinions were pretty split 50/50 by the fans, this time there is no split says it all lol

 

[Shergar]

Scott Sellars, interim coach. I ****ing hope not.

 

[Gedwolf]

PLEASE NOT solution from within!!
If they did, who would be favourite???

Mrs G just said "don't tell me they're appointing that Costa Diegos"

 

[berwickwolf]

I agree…..
We‘ve all seen this possibility for months now. If we haven’t made contingency plans, then, on the face of it, that’s irresponsible.

No it's not, if our choices are in a job at other clubs

Here's where we find out what Costa has been upto since January. How long do managerial courses take?

 

[SuperGran]

if It is lopetigui they obviously can’t say that yet as he hasn’t been sacked

 

[SuperGran]

Here's where we find out what Costa has been upto since January. How long do managerial courses take?

Costa player coach would be eventful

 

[Ches78]

Thank god for that. There's still a chance we might enjoy our football this season...

 

[Tring Wolf]

Second year in a row he’ll have been in charge for Chelsea away…

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

If we promote from within as a long term solution I think ol give up

 

[clivewolves]

I've got no personal animosity towards Lage. He seems a nice fella, and there are plenty of players who think he is a great youth coach who has had a positive impact on their careers.

But this is the Premier League. With all the money involved and the high standards required he just wasn't up to it. If we are signing players for north of £20 and £30 million, we better have a coach capable of getting the best out of them.

The club needs to do better.

 

[Aylesbury Wolf]

Moutinho in as temporary coach to devise the tactics and Costa to bark the orders! That would be interesting!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Costa player coach would be eventful

Needs to improve his language skills.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Thank god for that. There's still a chance we might enjoy our football this season...

Hey…..slow down there old chap.Don’t get carried away.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I’m not pleased that Lage has gone as it means he was unsuccessful and like everyone else on here I want Wolves to be successful. The club must now ensure they make the right decision regarding his replacement. I presume the club will continue the Portuguese theme. I hope a replacement is lined up.
