[we love jez moxey]

I've seen tweets saying that we're in for Amorim or Conceicao

The Portuguese obsession has to end sooner rather than later. It's a big world out there!!!

 

[wolfgar]

Confirmed. He’s gone. Thank god

 

[CodsallWolf]

Might be Moutinho temporary I'm hearing!

Not a bad idea if no-one immediately available. At least he’ll have the players’ respect you would have thought.

Duncan Castles reporting. Not seen anything from locals yet.

Terry Connor 2?

 

[JamesWolves]

Out of interest, how reliable has Duncan Castles been with us? I read a while back that he was reliable for ‘Mendes related news’ but can’t remember any news he’s broke…

Not entirely sure but I think I read somewhere that Castles had become unreliable. Dont quote me on that though

 

[LosgallardosWolf]

No not solutions from within

Mouts

Scott Sellars promotion? One to get the fans excited

 

[Mighty Thor]

He was our manager
We were always losing
And there wasn't a goal in his team (never a goal in his team)
Bruno walks in with his gorm-e-less grin
And says “I think we dominated the plaaaay” (dominated no way)
Now Shi said your sacked
And were free from that **** (hooray)
We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no
We don't talk about Bruno

 

[North West Wanderer]

thank the Lord

 

[Hawkguy]

I feel sorry him slightly. He’s looked lost for some time and often exasperated as to how we play and when the players make seemingly ridiculous decisions.

But some of his subs and team selections have been suicidal. And I guess the ridiculous-at-times decision making of the players has to be pinned on the manager.

We're down in a game HE HAS TO WIN to save his job and he keeps Neves as CB, takes off Nunes over Moutinho, and takes off Guedes who was our best forward yesterday. Maybe him, Adama, and Costa create a goal or two.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

See ya trig.

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Romour going round that Moutinho could be placed in temporary charge, until Lopetegue becomes available.
Surely he Couldn't do any worse than Bruno !!

 

[TelfordWolf]

Pedro Martins the early favourite. Lopetegui and Ange Postecoglou also linked.

 

[Loefah]

Title needs updating to a better source.

 

[VancouverWolf]

We need a replacement imminently. It will be utter stupidity if they don’t have someone lined up.

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.

If it keeps Moutinho off the pitch, even better!

 

[UEAwolf]

Good - personally never convinced by him even in the early/mid part of the first season. Out of his depth. Next appointment absolutely vital to get right.

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.

 

[VancouverWolf]

That makes sense

Why?

 

[Hawkguy]

Title needs updating to a better source.

Source is fine

 

[RichB]

Ahhhh…..there’s the rub……

many Mixers were delighted when Bruno was hired . Will we get it right this time?

This is the million dollar question.

I wasn’t thrilled when Bruno was appointed. I wasn’t horrified. I was just Meh.

My concern is that we will remain too influenced by Mendes because Shi/Sellars are clueless.

For me I’d at least enquire about Poch. As unlikely as it is.

I’d like to see Amorim.

But I suspect it’s going to be Lopetegui…… he’s a definite upgrade on Bruno though

 

[Contrarian]

The Portugese word of the day: Despedido.

 

[bigbluewolf]

The Athletic reporting Lage as sacked now.

 

[Minimalist]

Would be nice if people could refrain from nasty gloating at Bruno.

That said, it’s clearly the correct decision.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

No not solutions from within

My theory is that we want Lopetegui but don’t want to pay his club a severance fee, and that’s why Lage has lasted this long. Equally they want him gone but don’t want to pay out his contract, and have been waiting for us to make a move for him. So it’s been a standoff. We’ve now been forced to fire Lage, but still don’t want to pay Seville for him…

 

[Loefah]

Source is fine

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

Why? They were right!

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Confirmed On super Sunday by the commentator

duncan castles suggests we are looking at a promotion from within.

Sorry but I haven’t wanted one of our managers gone this badly since Saunders. I’m celebrating.

 

[Lisas Husband]

Just mentioned it in commentary of the manc derby on sly sports

 

[Wolf316]

Why?

Because it means we are waiting for lopetegui.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

We've never had a manager who I felt so little emotion about. Had to go after yesterday though. Not a bad bloke, just out of his depth.

Massive decision to be made now though.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Sorry but I haven’t wanted one of our managers gone this badly since Saunders. I’m celebrating.

Same.

 

[RichB]

Jeff Shi as Head Coach it is then.

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

 

[Loefah]

Why? They were right!

People were doubting it on the first page in lieu of a more reliable source, but fair enough.

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

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Keen tweeting it is good enough for me!
