    Portuguese media reporting Wolves have sacked Bruno Lage.



    Who will it be?

    Can't believe Rodgers survived yet another manager. Wtaf?

    I can only assume the owners don't have the money to get rid. What other explanation is there?

    Nothing official yet. Fingers crossed


    As for a replacement... Sorry @Donnyrovers90 it's got to be Rúben Amorim...

    They need a Northern Irish manager…

    Would genuinely take him over Lage.

    My favourite would be Big Ange.

    It'll be one of Amorim, Conceição, Martins or Villas-Boas though. We don't recruit managers, we just ask Uncle Jorge for a favour.

    Rodgers is good for 2 years, I won't say he's a bad manager he's just finished with us

    Would be surprised if Amorim leave Sporting in the middle of their promising Champions League start to take over Wolves. He'll get better job offers later on.

    AVB once said he wouldn't return to english football, feels he's been treated badly here specially from the media. But he'd make some sense.

    I stuck up for Lage last season but he's done rubbish with backing this so he can't have any complaints. Not sure keep hiring Portuguese managers is going to continue working just because they hit the jackpot with Nuno once, will be interesting to see how it pans out

    I think it is probably something to do with how many Portuguese speaking players they have in the squad?

    Yeah, that too. This is the approach they seem to have chosen and I'd be surprised if they diverted from it now. End of the day they have risen from the Championship to European football under this ownership.

    Ronaldo to take over as manager and re-register himself as captain in January.

    Stranger things have happened. I reckon he'd be up for it.

    Amorim absolutely should be the number one target although I’m praying he’s not

    I’ve never rated Lopetegui. Would be an odd choice

    That Spain/Real saga really seemed to affect his career?

    Not good at Porto and hasn’t done anything of note in my opinion
