The battle hardened Championship managers are now emerging toward the top of the table.
The only teams we have taken points from are all below us in the table.
Sheff Utd, West Brom and Middlesbrough are the next three league games.
How far are Fosun prepared to allow us to fall?
1.) 09 Sep 2026 11:07:17
I'll stick my neck out and predict we'll get 7 points from those 3 games.
2.) 09 Sep 2026 11:32:39
Nuno had one season in the Champ. Not sure how that makes him battle-hardened. He also has the luxury of having the best squad in the league, just like he did last time he was here. I don't recall many Wolves fans bemoaning his lack of Champ experience whilst we were smashing the league last time he was in it.
It shouldn't make a difference where a manager has had previous experience; a good manager is a good manager. If Cesar falls into that category is still to be decided, but no one can be certain after just 5 games, especially in a table where we've played one less game than the two clubs leading the way.

Also, Vitor Matos has not even managed in the Champ a full year yet, so not entirely sure where you are getting this notion of battle-hardened from, Jas M? ?
4.) 09 Sep 2026 12:05:55
Heckingbottom is very battle-hardened, and he sits bottom with his Preston team. Perhaps it's more about a manager's name; heck is bottom, Nuno is uno? Think I'm on to something.
5.) 09 Sep 2026 12:11:26
I take it wsd that you are not happy with Cesar. Who would you like at the helm? Rob Edwards, Vitor Pierer, or someone else? It's only five games in for us, one defeat.
Give him a chance to get the players that have been brought in up to speed, then let's see how the performances go from there. Then, if no significant improvements, then have a dig.

The captain of the Titanic said 'let's just get past this iceberg and we'll be ok.'
7.) 09 Sep 2026 14:11:15
Interesting analogy, Jas, especially because most historians now suggest that had the Titanic hit the ice berg head on then it likely would have survived and limped its way to safety. So in the analogy you have chosen it was panicking and changing course that caused the entire tragedy. ?

At least he wasn't a pessimist.

Wandering Stars Dad,
Are you the poster previously known as Jas M?
07 Sep 2026 10:21:06
Don’t think Cesar Peixoto is up to the demands of the Championship.
He’s another nice guy.
Mowbray, Nuno and the Birmingham manager have all outwitted him with in game tactic changes and we’re not getting the required results even though we have better players than most of our opponents.
1.) 07 Sep 2026 10:47:56
Let's wait until he has the team out there that he wants to pay before passing judgement. It's still early days. Give the guy a chance to do that.
2.) 07 Sep 2026 10:54:38
It's five games in and Nuno is on the exact same points as Cesar despite having a better squad and despite having a six month head start! I'm not saying he's the answer, but let's give him some time to actually work with the squad that he's had to cobble together at the last minute due to more, yet more pee poor planning from Fosun.
I think what concerns me currently is the lack of clean sheets. We have one of the worst defences in the league right now (statistically), and that needs to change, and quick. ?
3.) 07 Sep 2026 11:02:50
If he can sort the defence out, we'll be fine. Trippier's return will, no doubt, be most welcomed, as not only will it strengthen the starting 11, Jackson will also be able to learn from one of the best RBs in recent history.
4.) 07 Sep 2026 11:35:21
If Trippier can turn Jackson into a decent footballer that would be in the realms of miracles.
5.) 07 Sep 2026 14:24:10
Wait until CP has the team he wants on the pitch?
Will that be before the West Brom game or after? Most of the fans want to win this one more than any other game this season.
As you point out, BB, CP has exactly the same points as Nuno, and we are currently sitting on the edge of the play off zone, but he has two points less than James Morrison, who has only been in the job for a few months, but is already ahead of us with a worse squad, the same as the other 8 teams above us.
Chris Wilder is no mug either, and I will be surprised if we get any points from that game. By the time the game arrives, we could be in the bottom half of the table with low confidence, and in-house fallouts between the players who want to be here and the ones going through the motions until they get the move to a club they want to be at.
6.) 07 Sep 2026 14:31:23
Actually want to change manager again after the bloke's only had 5 games? Ridiculous, mate. To be honest, I completely disagree with you. I value everyone has an opinion, but come on, he's 5 games in, we don't want to change managers after 5 games.
7.) 07 Sep 2026 14:34:59
He needs to sort the defence.
let's see how he goes over the next couple of games.
It needs to be resolved quickly!
8.) 07 Sep 2026 15:28:53
I didn't say 'change the manager,' Simon/Laura. I just said that I don't think he has the experience to get us promoted, and the teams that do go up will likely have battle hardened Championship managers.
We've gone from 7th in the Premier, and considered best of the rest, to sitting just outside the play off zone in the Championship, which is now eight teams instead of six.
It's not CP's fault, but Fosun and CP will get treated the same as our last six or seven managers sooner or later.
Won't he?
06 Sep 2026 14:04:48
That's why we're not getting automatic promotion but have a chance of scraping into play-offs.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 14:49:39
Why? Yes, Jackson cost us. But even with all their huff and puff, they had to rely on us scoring for them. We should have gone 2-0 when Gomes missed his chance, and then Armstrong should have scored too. We make things harder for ourselves. So, early on in the season, though. I think we will be up there for sure!!
04 Aug 2026 10:59:30
If Sasa stays he could be a big player for us.
1.) 04 Aug 2026 12:33:34
Big physically, yes. In terms of attributes, in the last 3 seasons he's scored 8 goals and had two injuries, which could end a career early! Not sure what part of any of that suggests he's about to take the league by storm? Add to that, he doesn't even want to be at the club, and seemingly no one even wants to bid for him!
25 Jul 2026 12:17:51
Who at the club thought up the idea of playing a pre-season friendly at Walsall and charging our own fans a fiver to stream it?
Who’s thinks it is a good idea to charge fans £45 a season to listen to audio commentary of every game this season in the Wolves app?
Seems the only ideas the club has to raise funds is to squeeze every drop out of their own long suffering loyal fans.
Is this sustainable in the long term?
1.) 25 Jul 2026 14:19:02
Anyone suggest the best station to listen to Wolves matches?
2.) 25 Jul 2026 14:48:19
A £45.00 charge to listen to all the 26/27 season Wolves games via the Wolves app is a pretty good deal. I imagine plenty of fans will sign up for the offer.
Imagine being a truck driver and having the ability to listen to Wolves games while driving all over the UK or Europe.
Torture for many, but bliss for a truck driving Wolves fan.
When I was young and on foreign holidays, the only way to follow Wolves was either via the BBC World Service or English newspapers that arrived one or two days later.

Is there still a Mathday blog.
4.) 25 Jul 2026 15:50:59
I've paid my £5 each for pre-season games, I've paid the £45 radio commentary fee, and I've paid the £30 (I think) membership fee.
I live in Oxfordshire and can't get to the Mol in person anymore due to age and related conditions. If I could, the train fares would prove too much. So, being able to watch, listen, and feel part of the pack is good value for me.
It would be a bit rich for me to criticise the club's expenditure if I didn't feel as if I was paying in.
So, Wandering Stars Dad, it's a great idea for me. Yes, I'm lucky I've afforded it, but I'd imagine many fans of my age group, with support born from the 50s and 60s and spread up and down the country, would feel the same.
5.) 25 Jul 2026 16:43:15
The point is, Abbey, the commentary was a free service in the Wolves app, and now they have decided to charge £45.
6.) 25 Jul 2026 17:28:45
The EFL make Championship clubs charge for commentary. Fosun didn't decide this.
7.) 25 Jul 2026 17:54:53
I'd pay regardless, Thommo alone makes me feel as if I'm there with a friend who gives us a laugh along the way.
Didn't know those rules, Tim. Interesting, as I thought it'd been Fosun's doing.
8.) 26 Jul 2026 08:40:36
Agree ref Thommo. I remember a few years ago when we had to pay match by match. I stopped paying after a while, as the service was hit and miss (mostly miss). I must admit, though, that the 'free' service last season was OK.

How much it is costing to be out of the Premier League is the question Fosun should be asking?
Agree, there is no point changing manager without the financial backing of the owners, even though there are some good managers available.

Would like to see some positivity from the owners and CEO.
They're not saying much while making a profit in the transfer window.
