Wolves Banter 2

14 Jun 2026 15:55:09
Traore absolute joke. He was crap on a good day and he didn’t have many of those.

14 Jun 2026 18:03:30
Absolute rot, Philmanns. Check his stats around 2019/20. Nowhere that level now, though.

14 Jun 2026 14:08:16
Rob Edwards did the dirty on Boro and was never a Wolves fan! Everton season-ticket holder in his youth. FWAW.

14 Jun 2026 14:45:33
Still doesn't make it right how he was treated though.
How would you like it if you found out you'd been sacked via social media?

14 Jun 2026 17:26:30
Rumours are that Edwards knew at least 2 weeks ago that he was going to be replaced and he was asked to remain silent until the new man had signed.

A bit like when we all thought Lopetegui suddenly walked out but it transpired that he had given the club plenty of notice and Gary O'Neil was courted weeks earlier.



Also, it appears that Trippier, although excited by Edwards, was fully aware that he was unlikely to be the manager when the season started.

I wonder what all pundits think now that the narrative has changed. I mean, they all backed Trippier to do something that he was never likely to do.

I thought Adama was awesome got people off their seat with his dribbling abilities but too often crosses went in the stand, lol.

14 Jun 2026 15:21:05
Would be an interesting sight in the Championship, Simonandlaura. Dunno if stepping back is necessarily the way forward, tho?

14 Jun 2026 03:20:59
Kieran Trippier is set to stay, and is excited to play for Peixoto. He was told of the club's intention to have a managerial switch prior to signing the contract.

14 Jun 2026 11:06:00
Adama on our radar now.
🤔🤔

14 Jun 2026 11:21:43
Trippier just seems to be excited. Happy for him.

13 Jun 2026 20:20:53
Having calmed down, I can see that Nathan Shi and Fosun have made the right decision - Rob Edwards definitely wasn’t the right man to take Wolves forward.

Someone on here made a comment and smashed it. To paraphrase, imagine if Rob had been given ‘his’ team and then been fired after so many games. Rob was never the right appointment - another Jeff disaster. Rob is a lovely guy, and hopefully he’ll do well in his next job. Football is a brutal business, and Re knows this.

Cesar Peixoto must be a dark horse, and he’s clearly going to be given a very decent squad of players.

Hopefully Wolves players will be sold and new players purchased in a systematic manner, and Wolves will be 100% ready for pre season. Nathan Shi seems to be a man of his word, and a huge upgrade on Jeff. As Gerry Rafferty - a genius - sort of said: You’ve got to get it wrong to get it right next time.

Bit late to the party, by my God, learning of Kenny Jackett’s passing knocked me for six. Wolves in League One under Kenny Jackett will live long in the memory of many Wolves fans. One of my favourite Wolves managers, who managed one of my favourite Wolves teams. Rest in peace, Kenny.

Chelsea were reportedly considering appointing Cesar Peixoto after Liam Rosenior was sacked. He was seen by the hierarchy as someone who could get the club back to the highest level.

Sounds like a very underrated manager. Stunning appointment!

13 Jun 2026 17:25:35
Can we now move on from Rob Edwards? Peixoto sounds an ambitious choice, and it might even mean we are launching Project 2.0.

13 Jun 2026 17:33:27
Sounds like a gamble to me. Let's hope it pays off.

13 Jun 2026 22:51:06
Not seen that before, Rob. Was it reported in the Beano? He undoubtedly did well last season, but I can't see that any top club would be after him, given his overall record, which is sketchy at best. Whatever the situation, we've got to get fully behind him.

14 Jun 2026 11:24:52
Don't know, Old Wulf, anything is possible with Chelsea.

13 Jun 2026 13:14:57
Reading that Trippier is not happy with Re sacking and is considering his position. Well, players sign to a club and not the manager. If I was the new manager I’d sit him down immediately and ask him if he wants to play, if not, send him on his way. Raul is a completely different issue, and he has an emotional connection to the club.

13 Jun 2026 19:48:50
Really... don't believe a word of it.... Trippier's agent will have sorted the deal that he wanted... and would he not have looked into Wolves and RE as well.... Players play for the money, not the manager... unless Pep is in charge. You cudve been in charge... he'd still've signed.

13 Jun 2026 11:59:06
Excuse me but who is this fella Pixieloto and what has he achieved as a manager? Seems to me he has no experience whatsoever of English football or promotion and I just don't follow the thinking. Could this be another on Mendes radar who needs a job? Sounds rather like a roll of the Walter Zenga dice and look what happened there.

I fear anyone looking for a rapid return to the Premier League may have to wait for new owners at the Club. Inscrutable those who run Fosun.

13 Jun 2026 13:46:52
He didn't need a new job. He was being courted by Benfica and had led G.V to their highest finish. He is regarded as a great up-and-coming manager who wants to play attacking football.

Sometimes, I think clubs just do the merry-go-round of managers, and will get behind our new gaffer. Let's give him a chance. We all knew change was needed, and a big clear out, and new, fresh ideas.

13 Jun 2026 14:09:43
Mike, Walter Zenga (man in a suitcase) was hardly a considered appointment. Lopetegui was to take over and eventually let us down. Zenga was an emergency hiring. He never even moved to the UK, just flying in and out. I remember him in the team bus with his suitcase, ready to fly home after a match.

I don't think Nathan is repeating that mistake with the new guy. Just look at what Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford achieved with foreign coaches with a lack of English football experience.

13 Jun 2026 19:50:38
Nuno.... Had we heard of him before he came to us? Dont think so.... Along with Raul Nevez Jota...... New beginnings. Hoping for a repeat.

14 Jun 2026 09:13:02
Someone's done a YouTube video outlining his style of play.

14 Jun 2026 15:17:46
His record as manager is: won 15, lost 15, drawn 16, or something I remember seeing. Jacked, sacked and resigned, now us!?

14 Jun 2026 17:50:47
Nuno had coached in the Champions League.

13 Jun 2026 10:38:16
I read that Tim Spiers wrote in The Athletic a couple of days ago that Wolves are not a serious football club. This story was reprinted in the New York Times. Tim goes on to say that if Rob's results last season were 'slightly better' and his relations with fans were also 'slightly better' he probably wouldn't be in this position! (Only slightly better Tim? ) Tim goes on to say it would have been more palatable if Kieron McKenna of Ipswich had been lined up as Rob's successor! Dream on Tim! Furthermore Tim says that we had the worst season in our 149 year history.

Does he not know our real history? I'm sure that Kieron McKenna is gutted that he didn't get a phone call from Nathan! The Athletic article is surprisingly nothing but a hit job.

13 Jun 2026 12:56:23
I get the 'if only this or that' argument, but the facts are that Wolves under Rob Edwards were bloody awful, and he'd lost the fans. But, fair play, Tim Spiers. If Wolves had played attacking football and won 20 more points, and not been relegated, we wouldn't be in the position we're in now.

12 Jun 2026 22:34:13
Yay! Top scorers. Only two games gone in the World Cup and we've scored in both of them. Now let's see it happen more often in a Wolves shirt

12 Jun 2026 23:16:47
I was going to say similar, 2 Wolves scorers so far, and even Hwang seemed to make a difference when he came on. By difference, I mean his team were losing, he's the only sub, and they equalise.

12 Jun 2026 21:35:14
I am already beginning to wonder how many matches into the new season it will take before the club hierarchy get twitchy if results don't immediately go in our favour.
Just imagine if after 10 or so games they can see their chances of promotion slowly dwindling, what will their response be, stick or twist.

It's going to be a very interesting season.

13 Jun 2026 00:02:56
Good point, Derry. I get why the club replaced Edwards (although the way of doing it seems unnecessarily harsh), but surely you only do it if your replacement has a good track record - at least two successful managerial appointments.

What we've got is a guy with a series of failures, followed by one moderately successful season and zero experience of English football. I can't see it ending well.

13 Jun 2026 06:58:34
If any players are furious over Edwards' sacking, they need to go.
Don't need them in the team. Yes, I don't agree with how Rob was sacked, but he will think of the compensation he will get. We could have stuck with Edwards and watched boring football all season and struggled.

Believe me, it's very competitive in the Championship. We need attacking football, not pissing about week in, week out, scoring hardly any goals. Let's hope this new bloke gets us playing good football, but we will have to wait and see.

13 Jun 2026 11:52:40
It's a blinking shambles at Wolves. How they have dealt with Edwards is shocking. I can't understand if Trippier and Jimenez change their mind about signing for Wolves!! I just wish someone would buy Fosun out.

13 Jun 2026 14:34:15
So many supporters last season were being negative about Edwards and his lack of results, that includes motivating players, and just because, apparently, he spoke to two new signings and he is now sacked, the move is being questioned. Why? I think we all agree Wolves were beyond terrible last season, players and staff responsible. It is obvious, from the latter part of the season, that Edwards is not a motivator, nor tactical; a lot of his substitutions were questionable, and just cos many claim he is a nice bloke, it didn't stop us getting relegated, we needed change.

Now Fosun are allowing changes, fans are not happy with that. What are they supposed to do? What if Trippier and Raul were aware of the change coming, but kept quiet? Only the people involved know the real truth. I say stop this speculation, grab the changes Wolves are doing, be positive into the start of the new season. If, after a handful of games, we are crap, then criticise; if we are good, we'll be singing our way to the Premiership.
