Wouldn't turn my nose up at Nuno at all. Although I'd welcome just about any change as proof the club is still even trying, at the moment it's like they're fast asleep.

Odd he picked a former wolves left back whose got nowhere near the first team since his arrival , I’m sure this is unconnected to the former wolves DofF . Also weird at 2-1 down yesterday he chose to bring on a recalled academy that player rather than £30m plus worth of talent on the bench .

I want to know the answer too. Who bought McNeil and Maupay? Who sanctioned the move?
The ‘traditional’ mindset that champions direct football like that is the same ‘traditional’ mindset that has us stuck with a low-ambition board that do things the old fashioned way.
No to Nuno, he got lucky at wolves

We like a full bodied challenge
And hate defenders dithering
Wouldn't say we live industrial long ball football though. More cultured than that

Won’t happen until the owner sells the club.
They'll do one of two things.
Leave Lampard in charge, or sack him on the last day of the transfer window.
The boards ineptitude knows no bounds.

Scott parker has also just gone to club brugge.
How about a sneaky one.

If we'd appointed Nuno in June 2021, as we were apparently on the brink of doing, I don't think we'd be in the state we are in now.

Nuno Espirito Santo
Rio Ave
In May 2012, Rio Ave F.C. sacked manager Carlos Brito and announced the appointment of Espírito Santo.[22] In his second season in charge, the team reached both the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga finals, therefore leading them to the UEFA Europa League for the first time in their history.[23]Valencia
Espírito Santo signed a one-year contract with Valencia CF in La Liga on 4 July 2014, replacing the fired Juan Antonio Pizzi.[24] On 12 January 2015, he agreed to an extension to keep him at the club until 2018,[25] and he eventually led them to a fourth place finish in his first year,[26] highlights including a 2–1 home win over Real Madrid and a 2–2 away draw against the same opponent,[27][28] while he was named La Liga Manager of the Month three times;[29] he resigned on 29 November 2015, following a 0–1 away defeat to Sevilla FC, after a poor start to both Valencia's La Liga and Champions League campaigns.[30]Porto
On 1 June 2016, Espírito Santo signed a two-year contract with Porto, replacing former head coach José Peseiro.[31] The following 22 May, however, after a season devoid of silverware which included a second place in the league,[32] he was relieved of his duties.[33]Wolverhampton Wanderers[edit]
On 31 May 2017, Espírito Santo was named as the new head coach of then EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers, signing a three-year deal.[34] He was voted the competition's Manager of the Month in November as his team won all four of their games, scoring 13 times.[35] Espírito Santo led the club to the Premier League after a six-year absence, achieving promotion with four matches remaining in the season[36] and being confirmed as champions with two games to spare.[37] On 10 July 2018, it was announced that his contract had been extended until 2021.[38]Espírito Santo was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month title in his second month managing in the English top division[39] after his team went unbeaten in September 2018, accruing ten points from four matches and only conceding one goal. It was the first time that a Wolverhampton Wanderers manager had secured the award, in the club's fifth season in the competition.[40] Wolves finished seventh in the 2018–19 league season; it was the club's highest Premier League rank and their highest in the English top-flight since the 1979–80 season when they finished sixth. Wolves also qualified for a European competition for the first time since 1980–81, reaching the UEFA Europa League.[41]
Espírito Santo was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month title for a second time on 10 July 2020 for a run of five fixtures unbeaten between the beginning of March and the end of June, sandwiching the temporary suspension of the 2019–20 Premier League due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[42] The run included four wins and four clean sheets. The 2019–20 season saw Espírito Santo's team achieve a second consecutive seventh-place finish in the Premier League (with a record points total for Wolves in the Premier League of 59), and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League, the club's best such performance since being finalists in 1971–72.[43]
On 13 September 2020, at the outset of the 2020–21 season, Espírito Santo's contract at the club was extended until summer 2023.[44] He was Premier League Manager of the Month for October with a run of four fixtures unbeaten, including three wins without conceding; this was his third such award.[45] On 27 February 2021, he took charge of his 102nd Premier League game as Wolves head coach as his team played out a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United at St. James' Park, surpassing Mick McCarthy as the longest-serving Wolves head coach in the Premier League era.[46] On 21 May 2021, Wolves announced that Espírito Santo would be leaving the club by mutual consent at the end of the season.[47]
