As I've said before he's a back 3 manager and Wolves recruited for that system. Plus with the Portuguese clique at Wolves he's an easy fit. He'd not of had any of those advantages if he got the Everton job

I hear ya fella. I think he'll struggle next season though.

Wolves by the way. They were miles away and now level on points with us. Kudos to their manager who I remember was in the running when we hired Lampard. Not that it matters now lol

One of my neighbours is a Wolves fan. All I ever get now is texts with “we’re catching you!”

Nah Cooper wouldn't have kept them up either, Leicester have a hopeless team with a geriatric Vardy as their best means of goals

More ridiculous that Leicester actually went down with all of Maddison, Tielemans and Harvey Barnes as regular starters.

I think they'll be in the championship for a few years now, desperately need a takeover.

Nope, but would definitely be above Ipswich.

Who knows!

Actually a little annoyed West Ham didn't win yesterday.

One of Man. United/Spurs finishing 17th and not winning the EL would be hilarious. And both finishing 16-17th and falling short in Europe is still a big possibility.

Would've won a serious wedge if you'd predicted both would've finished bottom six in August. Do have a feeling Spurs will get something off Forest tomorrow as they'll be feeling the pressure of making CL now.

They punished themselves by sacking Cooper who had them above the relegation zone by the time. I do think they have a few very decent prem level players.

But

Totally agree. They gambled on RVN and it backfired massively. Their squad isn’t THAT bad, there’s a few decent players there.

Can't see us winning at Old Trafford for starters

Fresh start this summer. No more of this, enough is enough.

Fair dues to Wolves, five wins on the spin. I wasn't keen on Vitor when he was linked with us but he's doing a hell of a job down in the midlands.

Going places that Vitor! Let Moyes steady the ship for a couple of years and go for a modern, class act like him to move us on to the next level.
