Bruno or Nuno?

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

I don't believe there's anyone more disappointed than me that Nuno's gone...

But there is zero point to this. I'll start another poll. Rejoin the EU? or not? Both ships have sailed.

We should just go ahead and sign Nuno Mendes instead of RAN. For old time sake. Keep at least one of the chants in circulation and a bit of top trolling from Jeff.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Seriously?

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

To go from what we had to this is totally ****ing bull****

**** off.

 

[Wolf 82]

A guy we know nothing about.. or a guy we’ve shared our best 4 years of the previous 40 with?

An unfair question.

 

[Biffana wolf]

Lage seems to be as a mendes client personally having watched 8 yrs of portuguese football i dong rate him. So I'd have stuck with nuno.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Rejoin

Obviously.

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Lage has absolutely no form! There is no comparison.

I’m not liking what I’m seeing and I’m wondering if we are seeing the beginning of the end of the project rather than the end of the beginning!!

 

[Shergar]

I voted Uno. Anybody fancy a game?

 

[S G Wolves]

Lage or Nuno?

Wrong question. Should be.

Bruno or Nuno?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Lage or Nuno?

Wrong question. Should be.

Bruno or Nuno?

Same answer. Nuno.

 

[Perton Wolf]

I'm willing to give anybody a fair crack of the whip after having to put up with Burnley-esque football for a season.

Utd's reserves and kids beating us yesterday was the icing on the cake.

 

[Bugsy911]

I wasn't happy with Nuno of late but would choose him hands down.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

I just want some first half goals and yes once in a while to take the lead!

This is the thing. Would people have been so quick to put up with the rubbish being served up over the last few months if the manager hadn't got credit in the bank?

No and to be honest we could have slept walked into a relegation by sticking with Nuno, I doubt it but it's possible based on recent evidence.

Rejoin for sure

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I guess the one thing going for Bruno is that it's a change, and my god we need something a little different after this season.

Then again, Ian Holloway would be a change

He'll have my full support but if we lose 4 of our first 6, he'll be hounded out by the fans - guarantee it.

If he starts strongly, as he did at Benfica, it might work.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

We aint got Nuno. He aint going to be here next season. Sorry but that's a fact.
So its Lage or someone else.

 

[Bugsy911]

Fixture list can be cruel in the this league and we don't usually have much luck.

Utter madness taking this level of risk.

 

[woop woop barmy army]

but imagine if the fans had been in this season and the results was the same. Think we might be looking at this differently

 

[Ian]

The best manager in 40 years or somebody else I’ve never heard of? With less than 100 games who got sacked and couldn’t get another job.

You hadn’t heard of Nuno 4 years ago.... Bruno achieved more in one season than Nuno has his entire coaching career.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Football for me is first and foremost about entertainment

The last season and a bit has been anything but. I've watched on with a mix of boredom and frustration, and more recently, complete apathy

Only positive is at least it hasn't cost me anything to watch

Given that I'd go with Lage. If nothing else it's something different to look forward to

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

If Lage gets is playing attacking football and top 10 in first season then lage

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I’m the biggest cheerleader for Nuno on here and am still moping round the house like there has been a death in the family, however even I struggle to understand how you can possibly have an informed opinion on Lage.

Bar a crazy few weeks where he lost a few games, his record was truly incredible.

Let’s give him a chance at least.

 

[Redrockwanderer]

Our 4 years of Nuno have come to an end, we needed change after the poor season we’ve had! This is change and a manager who gets his team playing decent football! Back him from the off

 

[Bill McCai]

It is strange.

Fosun are rumoured to be buying Bordeaux, Grasshoppers have just been promoted (with Sky Sun as CEO, Olofinjana about to be named Sporting Director, and more young players destined to head over there in 21/22) and yet we 'seem' to have taken a bit of a step back in terms of our Head Coach.

Fosun clearly arent stepping away from football as some may have you believe, it anything they are growing their footprint.

Maybe (hopefully!) they know what they are doing with this appointment?

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Nuno's gone. And he's not coming back either, except as the manager of another team.
I have some misgivings about Mendes' undue influence - and about Bruno Lage's inexperience - but the football we played this season was awful to watch, as plenty of impartial observers said. So Nuno or Bruno? For me, it's Bruno. Especially if we score a goal in the first 30 minutes...

 

[reanswolf]

Sorry Bill, but this poll is not your finest hour.
Pointless and ill-thought out.
I ay voted.

 

[Bill McCai]

Its just a snapshot in time. We now know who the new man is (according to John Percy anyway) - do we think he is a better fit than the old coach? Fosun obviously do!

But most of the people who have voted don't have a clue about Lage. I don't have any idea myself other than watching a couple of games and being told by a Benfica fan what he's like. How is a that a basis to make a decision Vs the best wolves manager in our lifetime?

 

[Bill McCai]

Well that will be borne out as we do get to know him - and many here will change their minds as their knowledge increases. This just says - at this point in time - this was what some MM members felt. It doesnt mean Lage will not get the fans support?

You really dislike Nuno don’t you?

 

[Deleted member 11332]

You really dislike Nuno don’t you?

Surely no one has anything but love for the man but it doesn't make his statement incorrect.

Factually it is. Infact I see the appointment very similarly as I did to Nuno. Some good, some bad and not huge amounts of experience in either but at least Lage does have those two trophies. Maybe you need to be a bit more open minded on him before deciding he's **** and a downgrade. He might be or he might not.

I have nothing really against Lage, and his attacking record would make a refreshing change from what we have see this season.

I keep hearing how he blazed in to Benfica, tore up the league, imploded and was sacked and didn’t get another job. All that says to me is that he won the league with somebody else’s team and then wasn’t strong enough to hold it all together.

I gave.Solbakken my support right until the end in the hope of seeing better football. I wanted Saunders out the moment I saw him with his scarf on.

Lage just feels like a cronie just as Saunders did. But in a non-drinking, non golfing, non Wirral way. Mendes takes a cut of his wages, a finders fee from the club and more from the club for advising them on who to appoint? (He’ll also get the same from Porto or wherever Nuno turns up next)

I know people will say that I’m not a true fan but that’s what I feel and however much I think about it I cant see it any differently to that.

if lage is appointed I’ll support him and hope he’s a great success. If he does well Mendes will be toting him around tier one clubs this time next year. I hope he has Nuno’s passion and commitment not to flit at the first sign of a better offer.

Was Nuno just a crony too then?
