Sack race 24/25

[Hansern]

Cunha could get a 5 match ban after yesterday which won't help them, and if he does I'm guessing some of the bigger suitors will scratch him off their lists.

At least we'll have to see less of those disastrous Turkey teeth.

Wolves should appoint Moyes on a 2 year deal, sign two new CBs and pray. It's probably their only chance of beating the drop.

May be too late for that now, especially now that half the squad and staff are fighting with each other.

Hard to believe but O'Neil was linked to the United job (and weakly to ours) not that long ago.

That would be smart but I reckon they'll go down ater getting zero first team players and Steve Cooper

Wolves are in talks with Al-Shabab manager Vitor Pereira to replace head coach Gary O'Neil, who was sacked by the club on Sunday.

The Premier League strugglers are looking for a swift appointment and the money they would have to pay as compensation to secure former Porto and Olympiakos boss Pereira, around £800,000, is not believed to be an issue.

Wolves have been assessing their options and have sounded other possible replacements, including ex-West Ham and Manchester United boss David Moyes.

But club sources have told BBC Sport that Pereira is the frontrunner for the job.

Pereira has been in charge at Al Shabab since February, finishing eighth in the Saudi Pro League last season. They currently sit sixth after seven wins from 13 games.

The 56-year-old Portuguese won two Primeira Liga titles with Porto in 2012 and 2013 and the Greek Super League with Olympiakos in 2015.

The Wolves squad are not due to return for training until Tuesday and Pereira could be in charge by then, with his first game Sunday's trip to Leicester if negotiations go as planned.

Pep deserves the sack at this point, objectively. We’ve had some adversity under Klopp, but Jurgen dealt better with it. Pep just gave up.

They're in such a bind now, having extended his contract. Could have reached a mutual decision to step down either during the season or after.

But now it will look poor if either side pulls the plug.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Nah, he's enough built up to get more time. He'll need to qualify for the CL though, which they should do easily enough.

 

[Squiggles]

Pep will go on his terms, IMHO. I'll be amazed if it's even been considered. For all their ills, City are well operated and sensible.

Taxi for Martin.

 

[Hansern]

Russel Martin sacked

 

[Squiggles]

McKenna was smart enough to accept the tactical adaptations needed to adapt to the PL, which is why they have a shot at beating the drop and sit seven point clear of Saints. Martin appears a decent and smart guy, but you can't come up to the PL trying to play out like pean-Barca with Championship players. It's a lesson that should never have been needed to be learned on the job, especially after what Burnley did last year. Maybe he's just going after the Bayern job for 25/26.

Outplayed by a shite United team at home.

How will he qualify for the CL from the Isthmian Premier division?

I dont think the extension for one more year means anything. Fully expect him to leave after this season.

I think it was just stop him going the end of last season. Talks happened towards the end of last season and he’s filling his coffers on oil money before going this season.

As I thought about it more later yesterday, I reached the same conclusion. Not 100% but it looks the most likely outcome.
