Definitely seems like Wolves are particularly struggling with the pressure of the relegation battle at the moment.

Jose Sa arguing in the stands with fans, Lemina stripped of the captaincy after fighting with his own coach and now Cunha swinging at stewards and Ait-Nouri getting dragged down the tunnel.

If they finally pull the trigger on O'Neil is there a vibes manager vibey enough to put things right?
 
They are a club seemingly in disarray at the moment.

The fans are on the owners backs about a perceived lack of investment and poor custody of the club, particularly now GestiFute aren’t propping them up with Portuguese talent anymore.

The players are lashing out at all around including team mates, and Mario Lemina has suggested there is a mentality problem amongst the squad and they need to be more together.

I don’t know if/how they replace ONeill, but their problems seem to go from the training ground to the matches. They need more than vibes to get out of this hole
 
Maybe their training ground is haunted and needs to be cleansed by Ian Holloway's wife.
 
Rumours that they’ll try to bring Jose back to England. Hope it happens although not really a vibey vibes manager
 
If rumors about Vítor Pereira are true, press conferences are going to be fun

 
Sure he’s going to calm everything down :)
He's actually a very good coach, but he is very dogmatic about implementing his philosophy.
Sometimes works other times not. Tactically his teams are usually very well drilled but his thirst for possession football made him do some not só good jobs.
Players usually like him because he is very charismatic.

In hindsight, Everton fans protesting his potential appointment and demanding Lampard instead seems a bit farcical.
 
Should we try and poach one of Ait Nouri or Cunha?

I dunno, they looked like two headcases at the weekend. Cunha swinging elbows and ripping glasses off people's faces, and Ait Nouri literally being carried down the tunnel!

Good players but we're trying to ship troublemakers out of the club, not bring them in!

But ultimately if Amorim wants them, we should go for them!
 
Never liked our games against Wolves. If they go down, both Ait Nouri and Cunha are players that should be very well suited to our new system.

I understood the reasons: he rejected them long time ago (2013) to sign for a chinese club (I don't blame him: he got a massive wage there)

But he stayed a long time away from top leagues and he stopped being seen as an uprising manager.

Lampard might not be a better manager than him, but it was a more logical appointment due to having more English football experience.

As a funny note and a sign of his stubborness, I fondly remember when he signed for a lower tier 2 german club to save them from relegation and he tried to instill a possession based football with players who could barely make the basics well, nevermind trying to play out of pressure.
 
Interestingly Ole crept in as second favourite to replace O'Neill. Feel like there's actually a good squad there + VAR has cost them about 10 points alone. much better move than Ruud's Leicester one which is going to be super tough.
 
O’Neill was Ten Hags first choice as an assistant before we got Ruud wasn’t it? Not surprising the two do them were sacked before Christmas.
