I actually can't believe people are turning their nose up at Eustace...good young manager with plenty to prove, was doing a great job at brum until they appointed Rooney..former captain of the club and let's face it can't do any worse than the others who have gone before him, the Nuno talk has somewhat swayed people's opinions when they don't even know if there was ever a possibility...I for one would be really happy if its Eustace..i remember him very well giving everything in red n white 🔴⚪ UTP

I remember playing a promoted Wolves in the friendly before we both kicked off the new season in our new leagues. We still had a team of premier league players and they passed and moved us off the park A friendly I know but you could see which team was the better organised and assured. If NES isn't in post I'll be gutted Proven at this level and above. Feels too much of a pipe dream though I'd forgotten about that, thank you for reminding me. Santo did with Wolves what needs to be done at Stoke. In some ways Neil has half done the job for him clearing out players and bringing in many fresh, keen, new players. Santo's couching team will get them playing. Santo has the contacts to tweak the squad in January and establish a winning formula for next season, as he did at Wolves. MON's appointment told us day to day club management is not the same as international management; its a hell of a grind and can grind you down if success does not come. Jones' appointment taught us that a manager needs to have the presence and gravitas to manage senior players at a more senior level. You also have to have the experience to know what to do next if Plan A doesn't work. Hughes appointment taught us you need a manager experienced at a senior level with lots of contacts to pick up players. Rowett's appointment showed us you need a manager who quietly gets on with the job, not just talk about it.

But he's a no from me just dunna fancy him doing owt with our lot.

He was also knicknamed John Useless.

I had a couple of company 520s and they were useless when it snowed. One month I had to go to work in my wife's little car and leave mine parked in the drive! Give me "Rolls Royce manager" every time.

The Xdrive is actually quite good in snow, people keep saying how bad they are in the snow but we get the odd day of snow here and there so not a problem

Great post, Nuno has the qualities and experience but I don't think he will come because the club will not give him the tools to do the job that he did to take Wolves up . If he does , happy days but they will have to be able to sign much better players for more money than they did last summer. This is their promotion squad , how much do you think we would need to spend to get a team like this ? www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/wolves/wolves-201718-promotion-winning-squad-photo-gallery-where-are-these-21-players-now-4049537?page=1

If he wants a load of hangers on and we weren't willing to pay for it then fair play. It's unbelievable some on here are so naive.

I am not saying SLP don't get bits of info from people they know who work at either Stoke or 365, or don't see arrivals when they are lurking in the bushes but come on, only 4-5 people maximum will have been aware of who had applied for the job. Take ITK's out of the equation, John Eustace was sat in the ground on Tuesday night, we have to be careful of FFP and we know the owners. It was always SJE or at the very least the leading contender.

Agreed, as much as we would love a big name like Nuno, we're no longer Premier league, we're mid table championship with FFP. Finances need to be managed and new manager wages/demands etc..have to be FFP appropriate

I would be gutted if we got eustace And a 53% win rate at Kiddi over 100+ games, he has experience managing and as far as a young and up and coming manager, this is what you'd expect their profile and experience to look like. Not saying he's better than Nuno or that he'd even do well here but he should feel that this is the level of job he could be getting.
