"I remember in Porto after a draw it was impossible to go into a restaurant to eat with my family, Pereira says. This is football. For Wolves supporters, this campaign has descended into one big, fat told-you-so. Wolves have been stuck in a negative cycle and after another slow start fans are worried this will be the season they fail to escape and spiral into the Championship."
"Wolves have seen this film before. They waited until last December to dispense with Gary O'Neil and Julen Lopetegui left of his own volition on the eve of the previous season. Before him, Bruno Lage made it until the beginning of October. Nuno Espirito Santo left by mutual consent in May 2021 after four largely golden years and Fosun, Wolves's Chinese owner, pines for stability."
Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League after taking two points from nine games and remain without a win for six months. Supporters have made their anger plain and fear the club could spiral into the Championship. Head coach Vitor Pereira acknowledges pressure, recalling intense scrutiny in Porto, and says he uses the pressure to stay alert. Pereira rescued the team after arriving last December and later received a three-year contract, but recent poor results have eroded confidence. The club has a recent pattern of mid-season managerial changes and ownership seeks stability amid looming fixtures.
