Apparently Rui vitoria is now being considered for head coach. Won a couple of titles with Benfica a few years ago I think. Has a very similar feeling to the appointment of Vitor pereira in that he’s a little know coach and was also recently in Saudi so he’s been around a bit.

Mendes client I think.
2.) 06 Nov 2025 10:27:08
Rui Vitoria is a client of Agency Idoloassis Futebol based in Lisbon and Oporto, Portugal.
No connection to Gestifute or Jorge Mendes.

Thanks for clarification oap wulfrunian.

Being touted as the ‘next Nuno’. Reminds me of the old car sales advert when the guy is shutting the car door and listening carefully before smiling at the potential buyers and saying “it sounds like a golf!” ?

Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira says striker Jorgen Strand Larsen "will stay with us" after sitting out the loss to Everton amid two rejected bids from Newcastle. BBC sport
1.) 31 Aug 2025 12:49:07
Still need a CB, x2 cms, x2 forwards.
Interesting the links with so many midfielders and forwards.
Still think we need pace in the forwards they didn't offer enough yesterday.
R Gomez was arguably the standout sub after Jackson couldn't get anything to stick 2nd half.
2.) 31 Aug 2025 13:19:00
Japhet Tanganga, no?
3.) 31 Aug 2025 14:07:08
We could buy Tanganga but he won't be able to play for us until next season so why bother.
Under specific FIFA regulations, a player can be registered with a maximum of three clubs in a single season but is only eligible to play in official matches for a maximum of two clubs.
4.) 31 Aug 2025 14:26:25
If Tanganga had been of interest we would have already signed him before Sheffield Utd. Personally I thought we should have got him particularly with the fee being an absolute bargain!
5.) 31 Aug 2025 14:51:13
Thought fer lopes was quality of the bench yesterday looking to link up the play and drive us forward
6.) 31 Aug 2025 15:07:21
Honestly I think just stay up with defence being Toti LCB Agbadou CB Krejci RCB
Then we can sign Japhet Tanganga in summer 2026. Probably around £10~£15 million. I think Sheffield United are going down, I watched Tanganga yesterday, best man on the pitch.
Japhet Tanganga to Wolverhampton Wanderers
£12 million
Sometime next summer
Sheffield Utd relegated
He wants to leave
Done deal!
7.) 31 Aug 2025 16:36:23
No way should Toti be near the starting 11.
8.) 31 Aug 2025 17:16:46
Why would you want a defender relegated to league 1?
Sounds daft to me.
9.) 31 Aug 2025 17:17:40
As Ken points out above Wolves clearly have no interest in Tanganga as he could have been purchased at any time over the summer for peanuts.
Whilst I accept that if he has a blindingly good season Wolves may change their minds but I would imagine that it is unlikely that they will purchase him any time soon for 10x the amount he could have been acquired for this summer.
10.) 31 Aug 2025 17:29:13
Madman I don't disagree.
The defence looks v concerning - what has happened to Emmanuel.
Andre and Gomes are struggling and surely need a back up/alternative.
But perhaps the greatest need is a goal scoring 9/10.
Maybe changing to a 3, 4, 1, 2 formation will help as Arias - who is supposed to be carrying the team in his role as Cunha's replacement - looks lost out wide but might be better behind 2 forwards?.
11.) 31 Aug 2025 18:13:23
So which centre back do we sign? Krejci~ not good enough
Nobody is good enough at this club
So yes, tell me who we should sign ahead of Japhet Tanganga.?
12.) 31 Aug 2025 18:41:07
I can only hope that you are very very wrong as Wolves are paying 20x the fee that would have obtained Tangnaga for Krejci.
If you have read the board over the summer you will see I have also been proposing Tanganga all summer. For the fee, and home grown, he was in my view a "no brainer" but the club clearly disagrees with us both.
Having made that call though it would be a massive embarrassment to then pay 10x+ the fee they could have for the player a few months later so sadly I just can't see it happening!
With respect to your q though finding a cb better than those the club currently has should not be difficult. The pool currently consists of S Bueno - no where near good enough, Doherty - beaten by father time, Yerson, permanently injured, Toti - v v modest and needs hand holding, Krejci yet to play a game in the Prem and Emanuel who has seemingly lost his way!
Far from a satisfactory position!
13.) 31 Aug 2025 19:06:53
Personally I would have signed Veiga for around £26m but he has gone to Spain. Yes for weeks he was quoted at £35m but ended up going to Almeria for £26m. However he has a really poor attitude to training. Which may be the reason Wolves avoided it.
I think Disasi (linked with every club) and Lloyd Kelly wouldn't be bad options we need competition for cb and RCB. I have nothing against Krejci think he will develop the next few months and it is a strength having two left footed cbs.
My comment regarding Tanganga was why would we sign a cb that is relegated to league 1? We should be aiming to move higher up the league.
TFIOG really not sure on Emmanuel? Strange how it has dropped off so much hopelly Vitor can get it right with the team during the break.
The midfield is interesting I think both are the target of the opposition press so we need forwards to move and offer outlets for Sa and the defence to play long. Or Arias and Marshall need to come short so the defence can go over the first press by the opposition.
Absolutely we need someone like Yuri Alberto. Hopefully Tolu is a similar player to Aghehowa in that he is strong and a complete forward offering a different solution to what we have. I still think we need pace as that could be an outlet for a long ball out of defence.
In terms of the formation it's not so much a concern for me I think we just need a little bit of time to develop the connections between the different players I'm sure they will come good.
A CB, CM and forward would be ideal though.
14.) 31 Aug 2025 19:17:31
Toti and Hwang are liabilities, they just aren't good enough for this league.
How Toti got the armband is beyond me'its unbelievable if I'm honest.
The leadership in that squad must be paper thin if he's the most commanding one there.
I can only think the reason Gomes hasn't taken it is because he's always on the edge of getting sent off due to how he plays the game.
15.) 31 Aug 2025 19:38:04
Madman - completely agree re Veiga.
I have been told on here that apparently the fee is low as Chelsea retain significant interest/control in/over the player?
16.) 31 Aug 2025 21:16:42
But veiga is at Juventus. Next year Tanganga. Right the future is gold?
17.) 31 Aug 2025 22:07:57
But Tanganga isn't ready to play week in week out in the prem similar to Djiga (who has played CL by the way).
Djiga and Tanganga wouldn't be good enough over a season. I have doubts over Mosquera as well.
CB required urgently to provide cover for RCB or CB.
18.) 01 Sep 2025 01:59:26
Free agent CB cover Jason Denayer
Ex Celtic Lyon man city player
Belgium international
Superb player! And then Tanganga next summer!

He’s free!

I know it probably wouldn’t have changed anything but anyone else think mane should have had a pen yesterday?
I thought we lined up wrong yesterday, but we were possibly the better team second half after RE realised the changes that needed to happen. However the game was over by then due to a poor first half selection/performance.
1.) 25 Jan 2026 13:24:15
I don't think is was a penalty and fair play to Mane for getting up so quickly.
What I did notice was how the commentary team didn't bat an eyelid when Rodri made a high challenge from behind on Andre but were adamant that Mosquera should have seen red for an a challenge on Doku.
2.) 25 Jan 2026 13:58:39
I felt we could have had one after Silva kept trying to rugby tackle JSL on corners.
3.) 25 Jan 2026 15:14:04
That challenge on Andre certainly got mentioned on Wolves radio commentary Goodwhile, abit of pro job by the sound of it and should of been punished, also the shoving of larsen into the net was noticed VB, obviously the ref and VAR had eyes elsewhere.
Still abit puzzled at REs line up, we've nothing to really lose now so go out to entertain and give us a goal or so to celebrate. Maybe away at City isn't the time to do it?.
It'll be a more 'telling' game v bournmouth next week, hopefully we'll give em a game.
4.) 25 Jan 2026 16:12:51
I’m still puzzled by the line up Abbey maybe Tolu is carrying an injury and that’s why he was brought on after Larsen. Tolu is the only player we have who can hold the ball up front and that gives us time to get out of defence I think he creates space for Mane to work in so should be starting if fit. Larsen doesn’t seem to be able to play as a target man but would play him instead of Chang to work off Tolu. I agree about Silva holding on the corners and I thought they supposed to be cracking down on that but again Larsen needs to be more physical he’s 6ft 4 and Silva is 5ft 8 so to be pushed around at corners is a bit poor maybe needs some coaching from Duncan Fergusson he would have bashed Silva.
Also be good to start Rodrigo as Jackson has had enough chances now and is not good enough. Let’s go for it against Bournemouth we got nothing to lose COYW
5.) 25 Jan 2026 17:08:22
Absolutely agree re Larsen major Frank, I noticed on m.o.day he was simply laughing as he got pushed about, I know that's abit of his character, but as you say he needs some hardening, (maybe not to fergusins level).
I think we've seen enough of hwang now, he's not worth 90 mins for the few decent things he'd give us.
I've mentioned it before but I really fancy Hugo infront of Wolfe on the left, I've seen him in the U21 and he can certainly fulfill a role going forward.
6.) 25 Jan 2026 17:58:05
Good shout Abbey on Hugo in front of Wolfe he’s not too scared to have a shot and that’s what we need 17 points behind Forest now so no point going for a draw anymore we need wins!
7.) 25 Jan 2026 19:10:45
I think the club should come clean on why Hwang has to play. Surely one of the mangers we've had here would have sorted it out. Surely RE can see he weakens the team. Anyone sitting on the bench would have been an upgrade.
We were playing city without a striker, even Mane should not be up front especially on his own, he looked quality when he moved back and Larsen came on.
16 Jan 2026 17:20:31
More than halfway through January now. Nothing apart from krecji in term of signings. Have fosun accepted our relegation? Or are they planning to sell the club?
1.) 16 Jan 2026 18:43:18
I'm sure that even they can see relegation is nailed on but I hope they're planning to sell.
2.) 16 Jan 2026 19:28:22
If as many have said. Most of our current players are only championship standard.
Then shouldn't we try and keep as many of them as we can, if were going down.
Surely they could improve in that league
3.) 17 Jan 2026 07:21:32
Championship players on premiership wages greyleg, can we would Fosun fund them?
Plus I'm not convinced that they're committed to the shirt. We need players who'll give everything for Wolverhampton wanderers not just their bank balance.
4.) 17 Jan 2026 09:06:17
I believe all players at the club have a pay cut in there contracts and it could be up to 50%.
5.) 17 Jan 2026 12:26:59
That'll see a few of em off then baza!
13 Dec 2025 22:09:40
Wow. When it rains it pours
30 Nov 2025 16:22:06
Thought we were quite good today, they’ve gone 3rd I think and it took a worldie to score and a couple of worldie saves plus a dodgy ish var decision to stop us scoring, however once we went behind we lost all creativity as per usual.
1.) 30 Nov 2025 16:24:36
Yes much better today. Martinez really saved The Vile today. Arias though simply not good enough. Cuhna's replacement? Not a chance. He's light years away from Cuhna's ability.
Chirewa ( I guess he's keen and certainly puts himself about), but needless fouls.
We do need to be a lot more aggressive going forward though. Too many times we broke and then looked to pass sideways then backwards again. Obviously frustrated that we lost, but pleased with the players response.
2.) 30 Nov 2025 16:37:34
Arias is actually worse than hwang.poor guy.let him go back to brazil.whybthe hell keep him on till 88min when we need a goal.question the subs today.looks like wer havin a look at the squad ready for nxt ssn in the championship.can see us setting all kind of records thatl never be broken.including not winning a single game.in which will be over a full ssn
3.) 30 Nov 2025 18:00:17
Not to mention there was a foul on Gomes in build up to their goal and at the time of them scoring we was down to 10 men temporaly.
Much better performance seemed to be a togetherness, I think was it Totti who said "things used to get brushed under the carpet but all that is sorted now"
Which indicates Vitor may have been toxic.
4.) 01 Dec 2025 05:34:14
Rated, agree I thought the the way we played yesterday was better.
My take on recent events is:
1. Pereria submits transfer "wish list"
2. Shi let's Hobbs go and re-structures with himself Head of Football
3. He procrastinates over targets, many then missed
4. Summer pre-season poor, results were dreadful, no new signings.
5. Manager frustrated, then panic buys, which the manager is not happy about.
6. Effectively our preseason is the first few games of the season as Pereria trys to find best player options.
7. Pereria (like those before) has enough of Shi and it felt like he went on strike to engineer his exit (no credit to him)
8. Shi delays too long before sacking him and now we are nailed on for relegation.
I just find it difficult to understand Fosun leaving Shi insitu.
22 Nov 2025 16:38:27
Jhon arias might be the worst player to set foot on a football pitch
1.) 22 Nov 2025 16:49:38
He's getting paid for this
2.) 22 Nov 2025 16:53:48
Feeling a bit sick thinking of championship football now
3.) 22 Nov 2025 17:03:38
Yeah because those 15 mins once we'd already completely given two goals away is what REALLY cost us the game?! He probs should have scored but Larsen should be screaming for him to leave it and that CLEARLY didn't happen!
24 Dec 2025 13:02:34
We’d still lose
22 Nov 2025 16:38:45
I hope he has
27 Oct 2025 17:46:04
Don’t know a lot about him but isn’t he in debt and didn’t Lyon nearly get relegated last year because of failure to pay transfer fees or something or other like that?
12 Oct 2025 18:37:25
I didn’t think mercado was a free agent?
01 Oct 2025 17:34:22
Think having an English goalie helps massively with communication and I don’t see any reason to job Johnstone who was class on Saturday.
29 Dec 2025 10:45:31
It’s a bad look to sack someone after a three year contract (not that I care how it looks for fosun) and on a human level he’s left a club vying for promotion to come to his boyhood club, so would be a little harsh for him. However it’s not working out (with a highly incompetent squad) in the prem, therefore there will be a sour taste for the championship, possibly making it harder to get promoted with rob Edwards as the squad will be lacking in confidence.
I would like to see him try and I think fosun should give him the rest of the season, and give him full control ( with a budget ) over January spending, to see if he can build a squad he believes can get us back up.
28 Dec 2025 14:57:30
I think doc is certainly at least championship quality, he seems to understand the game quite well and is clever when needed, for example when he won the pen against Brentford, not sure how much other members of the squad would be smart enough to do so.
08 Dec 2025 19:22:01
Think we can win that?
23 Nov 2025 17:57:19
Possibly a lack of physicality banksy, but I think Lopez is the only player in the team that can link play up and deserves a run in the XI.
09 Nov 2025 15:24:46
Don’t get why everyone was so desperate to keep jsl and now want rid of him. He’s had an injury and gets no service. He would have scored both of tolus efl cup goals. I’m all for tolu but not sure he’s better than strand Larsen, who scored 14 goals last season.
