CNN Portugal reporting Lage has been sacked

[Wolf316]

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.

It’ll be Mouts until Lopetegui is sacked.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

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

I'd forgotten, went OK last time. I was excited at a football match, I've nearly forgotten that feeling. Mind you I remember Trincao scoring a worldie too, so maybe it was all a dream!

My animosity towards him increased substantially when I saw Ruben played at CB.

 

[wwbug]

He had his chance. I never blame an inadequate manager , just his employer.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Regarding Moutinho, does he have coaching badges? can they be coach without them?

 

[Sketchead]

Nice fella but zero evidence of him being a good coach, can’t think of one player he made better during his time here. Compare that to his predecessor.

Will be interesting to see who we go for next. Would be nice for it to be a proven manager but ones that are available/would come to Wolves will be tricky to identify.

We’ll lose Saturday regardless so no rush at this point, but this should’ve been done in March - then if not definitely the summer - then if not definitely definitely prior to the international break we just had. So they should have people in mind.

 

[Stratman Wolves]

Might be Moutinho temporary I'm hearing!

I'll take it if it means we don't have to see him on the pitch anymore.

 

[Topcat]

No one should be too surprised, be interesting to see who’s on the shortlist. I’d imagine the job will attract some decent names out there as Wolves profile has gone up quite a few notches since the days of Zenga.

 

[Jefe]

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!

I do hope we keep Roberts. Looks like a good GK coach going off Sa's performances last season, and a popular figure. Take him off set pieces, though.

 

[WolvesAreBoringOnCeefax]

I always want anyone, player or manager, to do well for Wolves, very much in the blind faith happy clapper camp at times, but it seemed like he didn’t know how to arrest the slide and it’d become unpleasant viewing, didn’t even really mind that much when West Ham scored their second last night, already game over at 1 and become a bit apathetic about it all.
Who we will get as replacement, I don’t know. I’d not be averse to seeing what Moutinho did with the squad given all the experience under his belt, and inside knowledge. You’d expect the players respect him highly and would bust a gut for him given his pedigree and years here now. You wouldn’t expect that to be a long term solution though.

 

[AndyY]

Might be Moutinho temporary I'm hearing!

As long as he doesn’t play himself!
The u21 coach is doing ok, and might play some of the youngsters.

Duncan Castles reporting. Not seen anything from locals yet.

Promoting from within? Who? Shi? Mendes?

They better not. We've been down that route before and ended up in league 1

 

[NottsWolves]

Promoting from within? Who? Shi? Mendes?

They better not. We've been down that route before and ended up in league 1

To be fair he’s the only one reporting that. Others saying they have a list of candidates

 

[thommo1984]

I was going to say 'thanks for nothing' but it's been much worse than that.

Ripped out the heart of the club in a year. Big job for whoever comes in, but thank god he's gone.

Amorim
Lopetegui
Maybe from within

I still see Lopetegui getting it but who knows if a wildcard emerges

 

[VancouverWolf]

I don’t want an unproven coach……..so a NO to Mouthino.

We need a total fresh start.

 

[Contrarian]

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.

Oh no! It will be all our fault when the new manager loses a couple of games. "Be careful what you wish for".

Now to get this down and in writing, I think this is very harsh on Bruno, all he needed was more time ,a striker and the players to be able to play through their injuries. And more time.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Think the "from within" will just be a temporary fill in until we have the permanent replacement in

 

[SmiffyWolf]

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

Disagree I think this is why we are in a mess . We have so many tippy tappy players like moutinhno. So for me it would be an awful appointment for more than a week until we get a new manager in .

 

[Starsky]

Agree with this.

We look so passive now with no leaders at all. Which is why we lose the game as soon as we go 1 down.

Big job for the next manager. The malaise goes beyond the on the pitch struggles. The whole club looks devoid of any character whatsoever and that is more concerning for me.

I honestly think we're down this season.

 

[SuperGran]

Yep

 

[Chriswwfc]

Hope it’s not a wild card.

Big players need a big reputable manager.

 

[Topcat]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

 

[JadeWolf]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

Yeah, but not for us.

 

[Tojo the grass]

It’s a shame it didn’t work out but it is the correct decision, we have time to get someone in to turn the season round.

 

[SuperGran]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

No

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Might be Moutinho temporary I'm hearing!

Much as I like Mouts it needs to be very temporary with the new coach in place before the World Cup break at the very latest. The new guy will then have plenty of time to work with most of the squad and determine what is needed in the January transfer window.

 

[thommo1984]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

No.

 

[JOSWolf]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

Would be a disaster with the players we have.

 

[sillytuna]

Just putting it out there but can Bruce do a job?

Never mention dyche again

 

[GY Wolf]

Just putting it out there but could Dyche do a job?

Yes the Albion will be without a manager soon

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

All is not lost... Steve Bruce will be available later this week.

 

[JOSWolf]

Now lage has gone will bonatini get a chance? At least he is a striker and we are desperate.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

All is not lost... Steve Bruce will be available later this week.

Not wanting to turn this into a discussion about Albion but can they A. Afford to sack him B. Afford to to bring anyone else in?

 

[Woz_Wolf]

Mouts recent search history...

 

[Minimalist]

Might be Moutinho temporary I'm hearing!

I find it odd how Moutinho is considered a potential manager but isn’t even (seemingly) captain material.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Does this mean we can now bring Coady home?

 

[SuperGran]

Does this mean we can now bring Coady home?

He is home

 

[Timberwolf]

Agree with this.

We look so passive now with no leaders at all. Which is why we lose the game as soon as we go 1 down.

Big job for the next manager. The malaise goes beyond the on the pitch struggles. The whole club looks devoid of any character whatsoever and that is more concerning for me.

I honestly think we're down this season.

That’s the spirit…!

 

[Michellis]

Hope it’s not a wild card.

Big players need a big reputable manager.

It’ll be some unheard of Portuguese coach and Mendes client…..
