Ryan Leister from the Wolves Report podcast spoke to the BBC Radio WM Breakfast show about prospect of Vitor Pereira replacing Gary O'Neil: "I'm confident they will have a new manager in place, and let's face it, Wolves' best years have come under a Portuguese manager – Nuno – so another Portuguese manager, with a lot of Portuguese and Brazilian players, would be very much welcome.

"Fans are going to want somebody who is going to have a firmer hand. We've seen the players lose their discipline over the last few games, we've seen the results waver, granted it's not totally the manager's fault because he's not been fully backed, but with the players he had at his disposal he should have been doing better.

"This manager is a bit more experienced. He's worked with some top players, so hopefully if it's him, he can bring the best out of them and take Wolves as high as 17th."

Former Wolves striker David Kelly added: "My problem with Vitor would be that he's had loads of clubs in 10 years. He goes in for a short period of time and goes out. So it'll be interesting to see what the club do, whether they go for old-timers or the new up-and-coming coach types.

"But you've got to try to rejuvenate the dressing room. Whichever coach comes in, they've got to get the players singing from the same hymn-sheet, because at the moment they look like a rabble of people that have just been thrown together."
