Today marks one year since the tragic loss of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre.

We'll never forget you, Diogo. 🧡

You have to feel sorry for VP.Treated badly by Forest after helping them retain priemership status. Thank you but so long.No loyalty anymore.

03 Jul 2026 09:08:28
Maybe they don't trust him with the transfer window. Glasner going there from Palace is a shock, though. After what he's achieved at Palace, it seems at best a sideways step.

03 Jul 2026 09:36:16
Agreed, Acle. I think sideways step is actually generous, as Palace seem to have a far better set up in place. Forest, however, do like chucking money at people. Remember when they miraculously poached Edu from Arsenal? Fair play to Glasner, but for a man that was wanted by Bayern at one point, you can't help but feel like he's sold out a bit.

Then Forest will be crying foul when they are hit with PSR again. It would seem that cheaters do in fact proper. Nothing new there then, eh, Man City. 😜

03 Jul 2026 10:56:52
I believe they avoided a payout by emailing him a few minutes before an agreement to leave for nothing expired. So that was about saving money in this instance.

03 Jul 2026 11:26:40
It does seem a strange move for Glasner as Forest seem to have worked through close to 10 managers in as many years.

03 Jul 2026 11:54:08
I can only imagine he is looking for a sacking and a payoff, given the owner's track record.

03 Jul 2026 12:05:35
Astonishing turn of events at Forest. VP did a good job keeping them up. At 11.58pm on 30th June, they sacked him by email without compensation, as midnight on 30th June was the cut-off for such a clause in his contract.

Maybe, by the letter of the law, they were entitled, but what a disreputable way to go about it. Glasner is taking a hell of a chance working with the Sheriff of Nottingham!

03 Jul 2026 12:09:40
I think VP will be happy with the millions in his bank. He's no one's fool. Just like Rob Edwards taking the Watford job, knowing full well a nice pay off is around the corner. There are far too many second-rate coaches going from club to club with only one ambition: boosting their bank balances.

Obviously Rob Edwards wanted the Wolves job, but he wasn't good enough. The minute he came in, I said to a fellow Wolves fan that he wouldn't be in the job for long. He was another Jeff Shi disaster.

I think there's a serious issue within football where coaches know they're not going to succeed at a particular club, but they take a head coach job for no other reason than monetary gain.

They don't care about the circumstances under which they leave, because another job isn't too far away.

As for Glasner, he should have got a decent move upon leaving Palace - he is a genuinely decent coach - but it hasn't materialised. His career at Forest won't last long, purely because the owner is a fruitcake. Glasner probably knows this. Probably why he's taken the job.

03 Jul 2026 12:45:02
Financially foolish of clubs to hire head coaches with expensive sacking clauses in their contracts. If it goes poorly to start, where is the incentive for the coach to succeed when a big payout for the sack is the easier option? Eventually, such a head coach should, in theory, be unemployable, but they all seem to snap up new jobs regardless.

I wish that I could have made a fortune in my career by being sacked all the time. At this level, football is out of touch with the real world.

03 Jul 2026 14:04:49
Yeah Bully, I was being kind to Forest. Didn't want to call them a smaller club, even if right now Palace are the more successful one.

The rules for ownership in football should be that PSR isn't a thing. However, if the club racks up huge debts and faces liquidation, the owner is liable for all debt and the club is protected for the fans. I'm not sure how it could work, but preventing clubs spending creates a closed shop to the detriment of fans, and letting owners spend silly money and walk away with a club folding or dropping down the leagues like Portsmouth did also lets the fans down.



Would also be good to be able to see some of the sacking clauses in these coaching contracts and what the full costs really are to the clubs.

03 Jul 2026 19:29:35
I think it has something to do with everyone thinking Premier League experience is more important thwn Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or other leagues experience.
It's going to cost you to be a British bigot.

04 Jul 2026 00:20:02
I don't feel sorry for VP. He's a millionaire & took us to the cleaners.

01 Jul 2026 18:11:54
Mpasi DR Congo for a new gk?

01 Jul 2026 18:55:16
All game long, I was screaming for a decent cross to Kane and there you go. Let's hope Jed Spence and Madueke spend the rest of the tournament on the bench.

01 Jul 2026 19:53:31
Got to play 3 centre-backs from here, unfortunately for England, the great man is rampant. 🐺 He also gets better service than Kane!!! FWAW.

02 Jul 2026 07:35:41
Mpasi, Man o'War, was really unbelievable, and he took some thumps in his heroics, but that surely was a one-off performance? It was DR Congo's poor defending in the end, particularly the number 4, whose concentration and speed were slow, letting Kane get in. Difficult one. In Mexico, our defence could be run ragged, and, of course, a certain Mr (Senor) Jiminez.

02 Jul 2026 19:08:33
31 year old who couldn't get in Le Havre's team last season. Some decent saves, but poor effort to save Kane's header, and punches crosses way too much. No thanks.

01 Jul 2026 16:56:24
Imagine the North & South Bank fans in sombreros. What a welcome back that would be for Jimenez or those who still have the mask.

01 Jul 2026 20:19:37
Would be great until everyone apart from the front row realises they can't see anything as there's some idiot in a sombrero in front of them.

02 Jul 2026 13:45:24
You would take them off when the match started.
Anyway, if you're in the front row, who can sit in front of you?

01 Jul 2026 16:52:37
Vp gone at Forest.

01 Jul 2026 20:58:18
Not really surprised at that news.

01 Jul 2026 13:37:42
Jimenez coming back on form. Brilliant. 👏
I think the Wolves shop should sell
Sombreros with si senor on.
What you think bully boy?

01 Jul 2026 16:48:07
Sounds like a plan.

01 Jul 2026 21:51:25
Haha, I'd buy one, mate, sounds like a great shout. 👍

01 Jul 2026 04:06:03
What a goal! Raul 🐺

01 Jul 2026 10:13:26
If there are any Wolves fans out there who had doubts about the signing of Raul Jimenez, I think this World Cup has answered all your questions.
Si senior, OMG, the legend is back and firing on all cylinders.
Can't wait to see him back at Molineux.
FWAW.

01 Jul 2026 10:41:42
I don't think Raul ever wanted to leave Wolves, so recent events may well have put him in a good place, and it's showing during the World Cup. Let's hope he can keep it going for next season.

01 Jul 2026 11:48:04
He must love Wolves to his core because he's way too good for the Championship. He oozes class. Easy to see why Jurgen Klopp once called him the best no9 in the world.

01 Jul 2026 13:26:38
I was one of those doubters, Nick. Not that I didn't rate him, I was just more unsure if he was too old. Happy to be very wrong. If he carries this form into next season, he will own the Champ! Also, with that we have to give credit to Nathan Shi here, because going to the effort of flying out and getting the contract done before the tournament is already looking like a masterstroke! Let's be honest, with the tourney he's having, he'd have some seriously decent suitors by the end of this tournament.

Well, they can all jog on, 'cause Raul is a wolf and he's coming home! Si Senor!! 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽

01 Jul 2026 03:35:42
Give the ball to Raul!!

30 Jun 2026 16:35:50
Bully boy it's been fun today it's been brilliant thanks.
Options differ with everyone so never mind.
Keep supporting.
Never give up on the Wolves.

01 Jul 2026 11:22:34
Stop enjoying the moaning, Moby.

01 Jul 2026 13:21:42
Straight back at ya, Moby mate. I will always support the Wolves. Even if I do have a good moan along the way. 😜 👍
