Lopetegui doesn't want the job - wants to concentrate on his family. Who next?

Someone on Twitter claiming that Wolves are interested in reappointing Nuno.

Nuno won't come back. Once bitten twice shy. Truth is no-one of any real quality will want to come to Wolves. After all we ain't in Manchester and we ain't in London. Fosun have messed this up big time and I fear we are heading back to the dark days of the mid 80's

I just asked a mate the very same question Jas, would he like to see Nuno back. He said yes.

We need to take a look at the positions above the head coach to see where it has all gone wrong.
For instance how is the relationship between Jeff and Jorge? Never see them in the same room.

about 90 percent of the wolves fans would say yes to nuno coming back

I wish people would stop pining for Nuno, love the bloke but end of the day the rot started in his final season with us.

Don't think there's any chance of Nuno coming back. I do know that he would never have got shot of Coady, his drive and leadership is badly missed. No need for a captain's armband now we don't have a proper leader. No critisism of Ruben Neves intended but not vocal enough. I think Sean Dyche is worth a shout, perhaps instill some discipline.

Rated RKO
You sound like you think Nuno was to blame for the rot setting in, well I don't agree.Firstly there's the effects of covid, isolated from his family, maybe not so much in the in his final year but it must have taken its toll, Then of course not getting the backing in the transfer market which he asked for and definitely needed.
He like Connor Coady was a great ambassador for our club and that's been blown apart, and we are in a very sad state at the
Moment,I Don't seeing him being asked to return as that wouldn't look good on Shi would it? I doubt he would agree to return any way, just my thoughts

Nuno also screwed us out of getting Vitinha if he had played him more we might have signed him.

Rated - whilst on paper his last season was by far his worst, indeed even worse than the first of Lage's, there is a strong arguement to say getting us to 13th was his greatest achievement whilst at Wolves.
Remember we have/had a v small squad and so after Seville in mid August (due to Covid delaying the season and of course European football being played post the domestic season) Wolves had just a month off before the new season started. They were therefore out on their feet before the season even began. However despite playing poorly we had 17 points from the first 10 games and were sat nicely in the Euro positions.
Then Jimenez got injured and Nuno - due to the catastropically bad transfer window executed by Shi, who had just made himself the head of the transfer committee - looked round and saw he had no adult cover for Jimenez whatsoever.
We therefore effectively played the last 28 games with 10 men and no cf - William Jose was no better and later admitted he didn't want to be there - another great transfer!.
Jose was the player given to Nuno who begged for help in the Jan realising that relegation was almost a certainty without something changing - if you recall we picked up a mere handful of points between Jimenez's injury and Jan and had dropped down the table alarmingly.
He then showed his true brilliance by changing the system slightly - making us even more negative - and asking Traore to put the team on his shoulders. Over the next few weeks safety was assured before we collapsed again at the end of the season as a result of the total exhaustion in the squad and of course the fact that

that Nuno and presumably his senior players knew he was leaving.
Given the hand he was dealt - note Neto missed a chunk as well due to injury - it was an astonishing performance to keep us up and whilst you can def say it was the first season of the rot I'm not sure you can point the finger of blame at Nuno for what happened - David Luiz and whichever Fulham defender crocked Neto or the tranfer comittee are in my opinion far more culpable?

I would welcome Nuno back, as someone has said, he got shafted by Shi and Co, the sale of Jota after not back to manager to push on after our Euro run was the first sign, We were still coming to terms after a very short pre season, a huge injury to Raul, followed by a few keys injuries in a small squad, Nuno obviously called them out and for that he was relieved of his duties. That's what I believe happened, I could be wrong.
Get him back an let's rebuild the small bit of damage and march on again, still plenty to play for this season

Sydney wolf I don't think you're wrong. It was after the Seville match, when we were played off the park, that Nuno knew the players he had had gone as far as they could. He knew change was needed, both in personnel and style. The problem was he was never given what he knew he needed. The rest is history. And in history is where it should stay. I loved Nuno, but there can be no going back. It seldom works and would probably taint our memories of such great times. We have to move on. Whoever comes in has got a massive job. We've been treading water, at best, for the past two years and now with the spine of our team gone, we are hurtling headfirst toward relegation. The right manager could steady the ship and get us to safety. But can we trust Shi to get the right man in. It's going to be a simple matter of Pot Luck.

Sydney - tks a far more concise, (and reading back with better English and spelling), version of what I just wrote!
Can't however see him being willing to come back under the present management structure - as I said previousy who, (that is not unemployed) would without some fairly caste iron gtees as to the future conduct of the owners and a not insignificant transfer budget.
FFP problems coming our way again I fear although they pale into insignificance compared to the problems that will occur if we go down.
Maybe when you are bored work through the first 11 and see who would stay with us if we go down - its, for a variety of reasons, a scarily short list!

And if Nuno came back but unfortunately couldn't keep us up,he would be slaughtered by every single one of you who's saying they'd have him back.
Time to move on, Nuno is a god and it's best not to sour it.

Nuno biggest thing for me was the identity he had given us.
I think the next manager if we are to kick on has to do similar.

We may well be doomed but that doesn't mean we may well not be.

Everything still to play for in the next chapter of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
