Part of me hopes if we do appoint a manager we wait until after that game. Or atleast appoint them but let Gally and co do the baggies game. Simply because I know what are fans are like 🤣 can imagine a new manager coming in, losing away at WBA (which is likely) and our fans instantly turning negative against them. I remember TP's first game, away at Walsall, when he took Bjarni off we started singing "you don't know what you're doing"

Nuno is now favourite on the poll he’s gone ahead of that Hasslehoff bloke. Still only 14 votes for Mowbray, I only voted once honest. I voted both Nuno and Mowbray (and JDT and Hoefkens), the poll isn't ranked. Even Eustace would be ok to me, though. I'm thinking with the wealth of possibilities, even JC should n't be able to fuck it up and appoint Big Sam or Warnock. Kind of similar non of them really excite me greatly and I wouldn’t be bothered if any of them that seem to be in the frame were appointed. It’s almost apathy but I’m the most transfixed apathetic in town.

Not sure if posted but from NorthStokie who used to work for ESPN posted this from Athletic article. Those close to Nuno say, post-Spurs, he was looking for a fresh project & a mountain to climb in the manner of what he achieved with Wolves, taking a team up a few levels & galvanising a group of mouldable players with small egos for footballers So he went to Saudi Arabia to manager Benzema.

Rather hear a sore loser than the boring shite AN, MON and Rowett served up (NJ eas mental). His teams play attacking exciting football, and have had way more success than any of our appointments even if it's all been in the championship. But I'm on the Nuno bandwagon now. Hope it happens, as it'll unite the fans and show ambition. Dick Schreuder as my second choice (he wasn't in the poll). The chants would be glorious.

I was just going to ask about his managerial record other than Wolves before I saw God's post above. Just as I expected, we are getting carried away with the fact he's foreign, aren't we? Yeh I don't get it really, he did well at Wolves but didn't he have a bucket load of money? I wouldn't be disappointed but it's not the most exciting appointment for me. Unless I've missed something from his career that would convince me otherwise. The link with Nuno/Mendes has allowed Wolves access to players that would probably be unattainable for them under different circumstances Football League to hold talks with Wolves over super agent Jorge Mendes links and club is at risk of breaching FFP rules after reporting £23.2m loss Wolves would have been done under FFP if they had not been promoted.Wolves’ controversial partnership with superagent Jorge Mendes may be a part of the problem. His influence over their transfer dealings has certainly worked well at times – his placement of Rúben Neves while Wolves were still in the Championship was the equivalent of tapping in the Atari code in the second tier – but he’s also provided the club with several mediocre players on high wages, with the likes of Nélson Semedo among Mendes’ clients, while Fábio Silva, who has struggled badly after his £35m move to the midlands, netted Mendes a cool £6.4m despite the player not being among his direct clients. Also don't forget Wolves denied Mendes was an employee and Nuno was actually one of his clients

Do I want him? Not really. But I wouldn't be mad as he does ger results and played decent football at the same time. Of all the boring names mentioned he's the one I would be least mad with.

It could turn ugly if have the usual British manager in charge and we lose. It will turn ugly if we lose no matter who we employ for that game. Which is why I think a wise move will be to not announce them until after that game (not that there is anything to suggest a decision will be made by the weekend anyway) Give whoever it is the Millwall game as their first

Unless I've missed something from his career that would convince me otherwise. I always look at managerial win percentages and Nuno’s record is impressive, he’s managed six clubs and he’s won more than he’s lost at each one with an overall career win percentage of virtually 50%,no other manager that we are linked with gets anywhere near to that, just to put it in to perspective Tony Pulis had a 36% win ratio in his two spells with us!
