Probably get to play another game won't he before he gets a ban. Things like Saturday, he should be suspended immediately and not be allowed to be available for selection.

Given that there are many managers with better pedigree out of work what this suggests to me is they have really struggled to attract credible candidates.

I think if they were promising decent funds to spend in Jan you’d have a few better managers willing to take a punt, there’s some decent players there if you upgrade the defence a bit.

But under these owners it just seems like managed decline now, and this suggests they won’t spend in January, and I suspect may even sell someone like Cunha to recoup some more money, then just take the parachute payments rather than throw more money at staying up.

That doesn’t mean Pereira will keep them up but I doubt he’ll have much help from the owners doing so.

They went for Moyes after we bet them mate and he turned them down. Apparently everyone in the game knows Wolves can’t invest with PSR for a while and are scaring close to the wind. There owners money comes from. Hi an and there has been a political change there were investment in overseas western industry in very much frowned upon domestically now.

I think Pereira wasn’t an optimal pick, he has a link with Mendez, hasn’t wanted the PL for a while and was getable. They had to do something it was turning toxic there, ;)
 

Hopefully the Wolves confirmed new manager and whoever takes the reins at Southampton will be a total car crash. 15 points from 15 games, any assistance from our rivals will be gratefully accepted

Just looks to me like moshiri listening to agents instead of the dof think he even paid the 8000k himself so he coukd get the wolves job. Very bad situation really feel like they have been similar to us in the past

Thats the hope but if he plugs a few gaps at the back they've got goals in them. Be boss if Cunha gets a hefty ban.
We're falling behind even palace and ipswich for goals now. We're less than a goal a game. Thats followed Dyche throughout his entire career. Less goals than games.
Same as last season, even the dross around us have forwards already on 6-8 goals.
Ours is on 2 lol.

Don't think we have to be concerned about Southampton anyway mate. Even if a new manager did start to turn things around for them the points gap is far too big for them to worry us imo

Not counting this season, there have been 91 times when a team have parted company with their manager while in the drop zone - and on 36 of those occasions they avoided relegation.

That is a success rate of 40%, so we know the difficult decision can work.

Of those 36 cases, five of the teams were exactly five points adrift when the manager left, like Wolves.

Sam Allardyce kept up two of those five teams - Blackburn in 2008-09 and Sunderland in 2015-16.

Tony Parkes, as a caretaker, saved Blackburn from such a perilous position in 1996-97, while Harry Redknapp saw Tottenham to safety in 2008-09.

Tony Pulis helped Crystal Palace avoid the drop in 2013-14, although by the time he took over from caretaker Keith Millen they were only three points off safety.

Only one of those five instances happened this late in a season, though - when Blackburn sacked Paul Ince on 16 December 2008 and hired Allardyce two days later.

The other four changes with teams five points adrift all happened in October.

One good omen for Wolves is that they were the second most recent team who changed managers while in the bottom three and stayed up.

That was when Julen Lopetegui replaced Bruno Lage - via Steve Davis' caretaker spell - just before the 2022 World Cup.

The compatible stat is how many teams that didn’t change their manager in the relegation zone and then stayed up.
We also know that 60% of times it didn’t work.
