    Really? You find Nuno’s style of football entertaining? I find it quite boring to watch Wolves <laugh>.

    They just defend deep, have good positional structure and rely on the counter-attacking speed of Neto and Traore to take them up the pitch. That said, I read that he’s tried to play more ‘expansive’ football the last few games. Yet they’ve not scored and have conceded more than before. So he may well revert back to his tried and trusted method of 3 at the back.

    In any case, I think there are better managers out there if entertaining football is what you’re after!

    Wouldn’t really say his football is always entertaining to be honest. It’s certainly been effective in recent years but if you’re looking for a manager that would play an eye catching brand then I’d say Hassenhuttl or possibly even Potter.

    I’m still “happy” with Jose for the time being though, albeit I can’t take too much more of these Fulham and Palace performances.

    I'm kinda resigned to it tbh, said for a while he'll be your next manager :(

    I don’t even wanna consider a new manager yet because I’m still backing Jose even if he is ****ing me off lately.

    Hassenhuttl’s been class for you lot though. IF Jose were sacked or left for whatever reason tonight, I wouldn’t be disappointed if we tried getting Ralph. That said, I reckon he might fancy sticking around with you boys for a bit longer, feels like he’s on the verge of potentially getting you into Europe either this season or next. Not sure he’d definitely fancy a switch to London just yet to be honest.

    I'd like to think we'll get one more season out of him. Good chance we lose Ings and Vestergaard this Summer though so if an offer comes in it wouldn't surprise me if he left.

    Watched them at Wembley and found them really entertaining...maybe that was a one off type of thing as I don't watch them on TV

    Would love him to show Southampton the same loyalty they showed him after the 9-0 game ... think he owes them that tbh.

    Yeah I think he'll give at least one more year. He'll surely wanna try and see it through by getting you into a European competition of some sort. That's why I think Nuno may leave Wolves sooner or later, he got them in the Prem, he got them into Europe, now they seem to be regressing and I just think he might fancy something new rather than a rebuild, most managers never fancy a rebuild.

    Ings is class, said it for a while, his only downer is his injury record, that might even work in your favour though as I doubt anyone will wanna pay through the roof for someone with his injury history.

    I’ll shed no tears when Mourinho is sacked but Nuno isn’t the answer. I find Wolves quite meh tbh and I don’t think a club of Spurs aspirations should be looking at managers like him

    He's only got a year left this Summer so if he doesn't sign a new deal clubs will probably get him for 20-30 million, which I think a fair few clubs would be interested in.

    Lamptey signed a new deal at Brighton, think he's got a big future, wouldn't mind him at Spurs. He's ****ing rapid.

    you must be the only person lol.

    Nuno to me is very conservative and his teams just pass around at the back and stay very well organised and hopes for a bit of magic from the front three.

    He's a good manager but for me very much in the mourinho mould

    been watching him play. He's tiny but he is quick, strong, good at defending (not sure positionally as he's played as a wingback) and good going forward.

    It's a shame he didnt want to stay at us

    Think Roman will go for someone of a higher pedigree after Frank, he took a punt on Frank which ain't working so far so I reckon he'll go for someone like Allegri if Frank is told he's offski.

    Usually I'd say you lot ****ed up letting a prospect leave but you've got James who's also class so it was just one of those where a good young player wouldn't really get the right amount of chances as another young player was ahead of them in the pecking order.

    Wasn't there rumours the other day that Avram Grant would be back at the club?

    Fat Frank may as well pack his bags now
