Well Nuno to leave Wolves announced by the club! Explains a great deal about the motivation of the team during the last few months.
Let’s hope Fosun get a grip and we get a high quality replacement.
I must say I’m disappointed!
21 May 2021 14:14:10
I can't say I'm surprised to be totally honest, what I will say is this: I didn't want Nuno to leave. Wolves better have a decent manager lined up and not Gutasso either.
Thanks Nuno, for all the incredible memories.
21 May 2021 14:15:44
I've said this would happen all season but I have to still admit to being shocked! 😱.
21 May 2021 14:26:02
Wonder if there is any connection with Lampard pulling out of the Palace job?
21 May 2021 14:31:29
Bruno (Lage) had a dream.
21 May 2021 14:47:13
Absolutely shocked can't believe it cue the exodus that will put a end to traore putting pen to paper and leaves us fans to worry about who coming in and who going to leave how many of the players came here because of nuno? Which leaves me thinking anyone see mountiho being a manager? Just putting it out there.

I posted a few weeks ago about Nuno possibly taking the Portugal job, Mourinho in talks but ultimately turning down Wolves and Gattuso to take over. I also states that a lot of players such as Neves, Semedo, Moutinho and Traore will be moved on.
Personally, I'm gutted that Nuno is going as I don't think Gattuso is better.
I hope we don't live to regret this.
21 May 2021 15:08:53
Not really surprised, I hope a replacement is lined up. With a Euros this summer and a short break next summer due to the World Cup having to be accomodated in November whoever comes in is not going to have much of a close season to work on recruitment this season or next by the look of it.
21 May 2021 15:17:47
Going to be rather blunt here he has form for this.
However let's not forget what he has done at our club and his kind donation too earlier this year, imo he will always be welcome back at Molinuex.
21 May 2021 15:31:10
We will regret this, back to the bad old days.
21 May 2021 15:44:44
True Rated, 4 years is the longest he's stayed as a manager anywhere by the look of it, that said I'm not sure its a good move for the club.
21 May 2021 16:03:31
It's all very sad and a big shock but TBH I had a feeling for the last 3 months or so that Nuno would leave quite amicably at the end of this season. My hope is that he will go back home now and spend some quality time with his family, who he must have missed terribly during the last few months. As for a replacement, my first choice would be Conceiacao and the one I do NOT want under any circumstances is Rafa Benitez. He has shown far too many times that he hates Wolves so there should be NO place for him at Molineux.
21 May 2021 16:10:14
Well either Fosun have massive ambition and are blaming him for the debacle of the season just gone and have a brilliant replacement/ solution in mind OR
He having seen Jeff Shi ignore his request last year for a bigger and better balanced squad has no faith that the even larger ask that is now on the table will be met and he doesn't want to be part of a desperate relegation battle.
As I have said without: 1) the injured players coming back - and that isn't happening any time soon and for some it may never 2) replacements for the players that have grown old - that was just Moutinho but may now be Patricio as well and 3) cover/ upgrades for Boly/ Saiss who are now ageing/ injury prone and going to be absent due to AFN for a period next season anyway - we are in for a difficult season and bottom 6 may be as good as we can hope for.
Who woud you want to come in?
An old stop gap who can see us through the current crisis whilst the injured players recover and the youngsters we bought get a chance to come good.
A young manager to shake things up?
A "name" who might be able to attract some good loans from the big teams in the Prem/ Europe etc etc?
Personally I'm in shock and haven't really got an idea of who I'd like!
21 May 2021 16:31:55
I suspect that Nuno and Jeff have fallen out. I wanted Nuno to stay forever but realistically his heart is in Portugal. The poor guy has been separated from his family for far too long. I hope he gets the Portugal team job.
I really can't see him going to Spurs, as Jeff would have played hardball and got compensation from Daniel Levy.
I would take Frank Lampard all day long. Tammy Abrahams would probably come with him.
21 May 2021 17:50:11
Interesting call Deep.
He did v well at Derby with youngsters and even at Chelsea the young players did ok.
Perhaps he didn't cover hmself with glory with the £50m + transfers but let's be honest how many of them are we making this year!
Would Chelsea let him have some their cast offs for Wolves either on loan or as sales?
For example
Hudson Odoi (sp) on loan untill Neto gets back, Alonso either on loan or sale untill Otto is back, (if he ever is) Giroud or as you say Abrahams again either on loan or sale untill Jimenez is flying or to play alongside etc.
Perhaps more hopefully we could get Ziyech or Pulisic or Kovacic (sp) to replace Moutinho?
More realistically and hopefully more affordably what about Gilmour - same size just a lot younger?
More I think about it the better the idea sounds and he will bring us a v v high profile at the very least - shame he isn't a few years younger as he could have shared minutes with Moutinho and unlike Neves he never lost his shooting boots!

Bruno Lage is bookies favourite and as a Portuguese manager he may be able to keep the Portuguese players happy. Having said that fans have been calling for more hone grown players particularly those from championship clubs with great prospects. I agree with Deep Throat if Lampard was considered Abrahams might consider joining but does he (Lampard) have enough experience for Fosun?
It’s a changing of the guard and May take a couple of seasons to sort out.
21 May 2021 19:41:55
Well the BBC were reporting that no other clubs were involved in the decision as they understood it. So Deep could be right I wouldn't be surprised to see Nuno in the Portugal job.
22 May 2021 12:24:06
I'd love to be right about Lampard and all that he could bring to Wolves, but I suspect that Fosun will go for a Portuguese coach due to their connection with Mendes.
22 May 2021 19:33:48
On a certain betting website, Kevin Muscat 66 to 1 to be next manager. Would be interesting!
23 May 2021 10:17:46
Bruno Lage doesn't fit the bill though. He has a years managerial experience winning the portugese league.
But we wanted European football. I think it will be Rafa or Fonseca. Rafa has won it all (not sure if he is the manager to settle the club though and trust money with) .
As Fonseca is under Gestifute and has links with Mendes. He is portugese so will get on with current squad.
Lage would be a good coach under Fonseca.
23 May 2021 23:40:31
It really won't be Muscat, really, no way
Probably Portuguese but Fosun might surprise us and appoint Lampard or Benitez.
