Reckon the poster that came up with JLo hit the nail right on the head for nickname . I can’t help but think Hey Jules to Hey Jude song, last used for Doog would fit nicely

Or we could make a new one?

 

[Munro Munro]

Yes that’s him

Liam keen also said he thought Bruno had two games to save his job, its just what quote you like to take, he was not far off to be fare

 

[wolvesjoe]

He definitely does............ interesting interview and talks about his desire to manage in England

That wasn't very reassuring. Quite broken and imprecise English, not close to someone like Mourinho.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Thought you were singing a Craig David song then

Sacked by Seville on Wednesday
Packed he's bags on Thursday
In Wolvo on Friday

Very good, sir.

Good English. Not sure many English managers could use the word 'attentive'.

I get the impression Bruno would have been given more time by the club but he lost the away fans at West Ham. When the away fans turn, that’s it!

 

[arctic rime]

We were at West Ham, he got away lightly to be honest

 

[SuperGran]

Is this the Liam Keen who said that Bruno's position wasn't under any threat?

To be fair Percy said that as well

Thought it was good myself. Understood the questions posed to him no problem (and that's the hardest thing about speaking in another language in my opinion, listening to it) and had good enough command to give detailed answers. Give him a few weeks using the language every day to iron it out and he'll be well away

He's going to be talking football tactics with the squad, not reading them a Charles Dickens novel.

Craig David’s Weds - Saturday a lot more appealing tbh

 

[DasWolf]

The phrase "I don't know enough to comment" is sorely underused by pundits and football fans.

If they were that honest mate they'd never comment!

****'s sake we need another poll
Do you want
a) **** manager with perfect English
b) good manager with not-at-all-bad English

 

[Northampton_wolf]

To be fair Percy said that as well

They pulled lage pronto due to fan duress and the pure ****e that was the west ham game.

Percy and keen both thought it could be chelsea or just before.

I agree with that I think both keen and Percy were right at the time, but things changed quickly both here and in Spain

 

[Ponty]

I don't hate him and will back him if he his our manager. I understand people want illusion and Wolves have been beyond **** lately and they are looking forward to better times.
I gave a view from the vast majority of Sevilla fans from here. I really hope when he comes everything is fine. Like I have always said, I will support him anyway, as soon as he is the manager. If things go ****, I won't be saying I told you so. I really hope he is successful with us.

You obviously know a lot of arm chair Sevilla fans. Those in the ground gave him a really good send off. Perhaps they realise that selling your best players can have a big impact.

You want to be doing the bad thing with Craig David for four days straight?
Not for me....but each to their own and that.

El papelón de Monchi en la despedida de Lopetegui que indigna al sevillismo: ¡basta de postureo!

La pésima planificación deportiva y la salida al césped con Lopetegui tras hacerle dirigir un partido cuando ya estaba destituido encienden a la afición del Sevilla que dispara contra el director deportivo.

[NottsWolves]

I don’t deny that. Overall I don’t think he had that much flack from the crowd. But once the away fans go, there’s no going back.

 

[wwbug]

Getting a strong feeling that this change to Lopetegui was on the cards for a long time . May be in our plans for over a year .

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Dont get the can he speak English thing tbh
Most of the Wolves team cant speak perfect English,nor should they,its not their native tongue
Bruno had problems with it at times,as did Nuno early doors,Bielsa couldnt speak a word lol

 

[Jamwolf]

I'd be doubtful that he would come to Wolves. Can't see much upside for him to be honest. Also his missus might take a dim view.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

Quote from the renowned pundit Danny Murphy:
"I don’t even know if he speaks English. It would be a risk,” says Murphy, formerly of Liverpool, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. “But isn’t any appointment a risk?

Why not just ****ing Google him. Simple as that. He does.
He also speaks Portuguese from his days coaching Porto.

Did he say the same about Bielsa who needed a translater constantly. What a plonker

 

[Wolf316]

Any private jets left Seville yet?

 

[Ned]

No, they were too busy ignoring Bielsa’s record and instead proclaiming he’s the best manager ever to manage.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

The fans have been very patient. For the most part we were willing to sit on our hands and see how things pan out.

Southampton was the previous match in which we could have turned, but he survived that one with a lucky win. Man City was a free hit, the fans behaved accordingly...

It was the manner of the defeat and team selection that done him at West Ham. I imagine a draw or even an unlucky defeat would have seen Lage limp on to Chelsea where we'd probably have treated it as another free hit...

Forest at home would have been the crunch, I believe we'd have all been primed to have a go. Even a lucky win would have seen unrest...

As fans perhaps we were too lenient. He should have been given both barrels at the end of last season, may have prompted the club to act...

Saying that though, there were rumours on Lopetegui then. His stay of execution may well have been what saved Bruno and he has been nothing but a place holder until someone suitable became available.

I agree, I'm all for going for a drink with him on Tuesday but I'm a no show after that I'm afraid.

 

[FJRWolf]

Most pundits might as well caveat everything they say with, “I’m ignorant and unprepared, but I’m going to offer a clichéd, poorly researched opinion anyway, often based purely on my own prejudices.”

Very eloquent you've put into words my exact thoughts.

 

[adjuster]

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but Lopetegui is a Basque name meaning "abode of the wolf"

Welcome to Wolves Julen Molineux

 

[old wittonian]

I have read that Bielsa actually spoke English

 

[SuperGran]

I have that Bielsa actually spoke English

Better than yours

 

[SquaddieWolf]

I have that Bielsa actually spoke English

Think it was Kalvin Phillips that came out and said that he spoke perfect English in training lol

 

[Mr Dougan's Elbow]

He's going to be talking football tactics with the squad, not reading them a Charles Dickens novel.

He could tell them the fans have Great Expectations

I expect a very quick process now.

Talks are set to be held on Thursday with the Midlands club hoping to move quickly to get a deal done.

Wolves have made a poor start to the season as they sit 18th in the Premier League table with just six points from eight matches.

And while Lopetegui leaves Sevilla just a point above LaLiga’s relegation zone and five points off second in their Champions League groups, he boasts good managerial credentials.




Lets hope he is in place by Sunday to get the team ready for a MUST WIN GAME AGAINST FOREST

 

[SmiffyWolf]

The thing with this English BS makes me laugh . Most of our Squads first languages are not English

He can speak spanish with 4 of the squad being native spanish speakers, he will be fine, got along just fine in porto

Spanish and Portuguese are close enough that speakers of one can understand the majority of the other (nuances may be lost) too.
