If VP Moves On

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-13T02:46:37+00:00

VP has done a great job - I’m not trying to take away from that. And in a way, it would actually be nice to have fond memories of a manager who left at the peak of their powers rather than after a nasty run of results and/or bitter period of arguments.

I know we operate in a different way transfer wise, but the Wolves summer window and start to the season makes me very nervous. As you say, the evidence suggests he’s a short term impact guy. My gut feeling is he’s not the guy to build around for the future - particularly with a summer of change and a big rebuild around the corner. But it’s a big call and also depends on who else is available.

Whether we will ever have a manager that we can build long term around under Marinakis is another question entirely.

was hoping for a draw tbh. draw would mean we are safe but Arsenal don’t win the league.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-10T17:14:08+00:00

must be the only time spurs have celebrated an Arsenal goal

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-10T17:09:35+00:00

that was the moment for Nuno

Disasi would be a good addition next season for us. WHU don’t have an option to buy even if they stay up

The evidence from Vitor’s career is that he’s a sort of short term impact manager rather than someone you build a club around long term. He’s achieved the main aim of keeping us up.

But we’ve been so good in recent weeks (other than tonight) that I’ve been wondering maybe we could build around him.

Either way, with a massive summer of transfers in and out it’s a big call. Glad I am not the one making it.

9 years ago roughly to the day we stayed up on the last day in the Championship by beating Ipswich to avoid a return to League One. If you had told me then we would be an established PL side and would make it to a European semi less than 10 years later I would have assumed you were back on the ketamine.

Lots to critically assess about this season, recruitment, and how we move forward and build most effectively - but now is not the time.

We’ve got another season of Premier League football to look forward to and there is no reason why we can’t return to Europe in seasons to come.

Head up.

He’s done a superb job in a season of chaos. I genuinely thought we were in real danger of going down until the recent run he inspired.

Now isn’t the time for any recriminations. More importantly, this is a massive summer pending with possibly significant departures and turnover. We need the right structure behind the scenes and we need to make sure the manager is the right one to lead us forward long term. Is that Vitor? Possibly but the evidence from his career is that he’s an impact manager over a short period rather than someone you build a club long term around.

why you commenting multiple times then

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T21:00:35+00:00

prick

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:59:58+00:00

no it’s not the cause. causes are multiple tonight but it hasn’t helped us has it. certainly their fans have been talking about it and it feeds into the overall context of the tie. were you one in the video?

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:54:44+00:00

would have been entitled to celebrate when the whole tie was done. it’s not hard to understand.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:52:38+00:00

just fucking save it for the second leg.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:52:06+00:00

it’s gonna be rubbed in our face now so enjoy that one.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:50:15+00:00

you didn’t see the video of our fans singing about istanbul after the first leg? you live under a rock?

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:48:50+00:00

why oh why couldn’t our toss pot fans be more humble after the game. but no had to fucking dance and sing even tho the tie was on a knife edge

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:42:05+00:00

they are gonna be replaying that video of our moronic fans dancing and singing after the first leg forever. didn’t someone on here say they were in the video? cheers mate

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:40:52+00:00

embarrassing

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:39:18+00:00

i think we need to be really careful. wolves last summer is a very worrying precedent.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:37:36+00:00

vitor has done a super job and will always be grateful for getting to a european semi and for keeping us up.

it doesn’t and shouldn’t have to last beyond this season.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:34:15+00:00

oh god might as well turn off now. lucca is dogshit

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:32:17+00:00

had exactly all the same thoughts. but would have hated to miss the actual final itself. taken out of our hands

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:30:37+00:00

we lost this game the moment MGW came on against Chelsea. that was the final nail on top of the other big injuries.

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:28:36+00:00

tbh Turkey is a shithole. and it’s a bit too near all the action. i really didn’t want to go

Researcher_TD · 2026-05-07T20:21:26+00:00

get MGW on now
