Wolves going up had as much to do with a Champions League player in their central midfield.Lots of ways to skin rabbits. But the Dingles, Leicester, Norwich, Huddersfield...all seemed a lot more mobile than us.

Surely everyone knows by now why Nuno went there?
Ask anybody who has ever acted in any scouting capacity and the club they most admire and respect for finding talent is Leicester City.

My point is that Wolves did more than sign one champions league midfielder. They changed a manager, a philosophy and three quarters of a team in one off season.

My point is that Wolves did more than sign one champions league midfielder. They changed a manager, a philosophy and three quarters of a team in one off season. Aswell as a Champions League midfielder, they also got a Champions League manager, defender and winger. They also did this during the summer. If Nuno had come in half way through the previous season (as Smith has at Villa) he would of been coaching Jack Price, Dave Edwards, Dominic Iorfa, Noaha Dicko, Danny Batth, Kourtney Hause, Joe Mason instead. Would they have been patient with him trying to get his style across with players nowhere near the level he coached at Porto or now?Thankfully for them he came in the Summer and we all know what followed. Frustratingly for us we were unable to make a change in the summer and had to do it mid season (again)
Our keeper looked crap for the first goal. He really doesn't seem the most agile.
