Wolves even at their best have been a defensive team with the back three/five, lure opponents in then smash them on the counter with the excellent Traore, Jimenez and Jota.
Nuno’s tried to evolve the team and tactics this season but hasn’t really managed it, and the newer signings have all underwhelmed. Might be a good time to part company.

Tottenham have appointed former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager on a two-year contract.
Nuno left Wolves in May after four impressive seasons, during which time he took the club from the Championship to a Europa League quarter-final.
Spurs sacked Jose Mourinho in April and replaced him with 29-year-old Ryan Mason until the end of last season.

A Premier League club hiring a new manager on a 24 month deal is effectively telling them they’re on borrowed time already.

Hope so if this is anything to go by:- "Prior to the 2017–18 season, Koeman was given the largest budget in Everton's history to spend on new players. An estimated £150 million was spent on new players, but Koeman admitted that he had not bought a centre forward to replace Romelu Lukaku, the previous season's squad top scorer who had been sold to Manchester United. Koeman was sacked by the club on 23 October 2017, after his side fell into the relegation zone, following a 2–5 home defeat against Arsenal the previous day."

Next one gets a 6 month contract.

Would it not be good to play Stoke City, Birmingham, WBA, Coventry, Derby and maybe Wolves in the Championship? Along with Wrexham?

Absolute basket case of a club.
Kane sulking, nobody performing, manager sacked again.

I think the problem at Spurs lies a little higher up than the managers/coaches that are constantly being replaced.

Absolute basket case of a club. Kane sulking, nobody performing, manager sacked again. Just 2 years since they were European Champs league finalists, Poch not allowed to strengthen the team and downhill since he was sacked. Daniel Levy’s caution with the cash not looking so clever now.

This comment on the BBC site just about sums it all up:
"...But, this is now the reactive nature of the Premier League. A few poor results and your managerial future could be in danger..."

I always chuckle when all the merchandise with "Nuno had a dream" Started to appear. Makes them sound like they have risen from Non League and built the club from local lads. They have. Just local lads from Lisbon, Porto, Braga Tottenham are a mess at the moment. Fabulous Stadium but have failed to push on from reaching the Champions League Final.

Well they have just managed to con Enfield Council into handing over to them 150 acres of green belt land bought for public access in the 1930’s (ancient woodland, meadows, lake, brooks, public golf course, club houses, cafe, car parks) - all for £500,000 now and after five years £75,000 annual rental for the next 20 years. You can imagine how overjoyed some of us feel about that...and hardly going to dent their wage bill

You can imagine how overjoyed some of us feel about that...and hardly going to dent their wage bill Must have asked Karren Brady for some advice. 'The sale clause in West Ham’s deal with the owners of the London Stadium – who are ultimately you, me and every other taxpayer in the United Kingdom – is known informally as the “anti-embarrassment clause” and designed to claw back some value in the event of the club changing hands. When West Ham’s majority owner, David Sullivan, negotiated the 99-year lease with the London Legacy Development Corporation in 2013, he agreed that any sale of the club arranged by him and the other small shareholders within 10 years would come with a levy due to the public purse. West Ham’s value as a club would naturally rise on the strength of an agreement to pay an annual lease of just £2.5 million, now around £3 million, and the clause was acknowledgement there should be some reward for the taxpayer who had funded the Olympic Stadium. We are less than 18 months from the expiration of the anti-embarrassment clause, so-called because it would have been very embarrassing for the LLDC and the government in general were Sullivan to sell West Ham as soon as he had negotiated the lease. Not to forget that West Ham’s owners cashed in on the old Boleyn Ground – sold to a developer and then sold on again quickly. Currently around 20 per cent of any profit on the full sale of West Ham would be due to the taxpayer. After March 2023, the estimated profit for Sullivan and Gold on a full sale of their stake, less loans to the club and external debt, would be £300 million – and all of it would be theirs. We have been here before. When Thaksin Shinawatra was evading the Thai authorities in 2008, the country’s former prime minister sold Manchester City to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan for £150 million having spent an estimated £60 million in acquiring and investment in the single year he was in control. The club’s stadium, built with lottery funding for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and converted to football with £49 million of public money, played a major role in the deal. There was no agreement by which any of the profit made by Shinawatra could be recovered for the taxpayer. Once again, the cost of staging major events such as the Olympics falls on the taxpayer while the long-term profits are privatised. City have since extended the capacity although they do not own the Etihad, for which they pay an annual tenancy to the city council, now around £5 million'. Daily Telegraph.

Amazingly quick replacement. Club must have worked really hard in the few hours after sacking Nuno to get a replacement that quickly.
Modern football at the highest levels just stinks these days.

Almost like his replacement is standing by the managers office door waiting to move in while Nuno is still clearing his desk. But then nothing surprises me any more with the way Premier league clubs do their dirty business these days.

Meanwhile Unai Emery is set to be the new Newcastle manager… Definitely an interesting one, not sure what the attraction is myself especially with having to pay Villarreal compensation.

Apparently they wanted this guy when Nuno was appointed. Suppose the owners heard he could be tempted, Nuno wasn't sertting the world on fire and that was it.
The fans at Wolves thought Nuno was the man, were the owners not so keen on him or did he just leave Wolves for more money?
