Wolves in Crisis as Pérez and Edwards Come Under Spotlight for New Boss Job.
The axe has finally fallen on Vítor Pereira, the manager who took over at Wolves just last December with hopes of turning around a struggling side. The decision to sack him comes after a disastrous 3-0 defeat at Fulham, which Pereira described as "the worst performance" of his 11-month reign in charge.
The team, currently sitting bottom of the Premier League table, has struggled under Pérez's leadership, with Wolves winning just one league game since April. The club has conceded an alarming 22 goals this season, and fans have lost patience with the Portuguese manager's tactics.
While Pereira was initially seen as a long-term solution to Wolves' problems, his departure may be followed by Gary O'Neil's return to the club he left in December last year. O'Neil has been out of work since his sacking but retains strong connections with the current squad and could be the perfect candidate to get Wolves back on track.
Another former Wolves player and under-23s coach, Rob Edwards, is also being touted as a potential replacement for Pereira. However, Wolves would need to pay compensation to Middlesbrough if they were to pursue Edwards, who joined Boro in the summer on a three-year contract.
Edwards' stint at Wolves was marked by success, particularly during his time as caretaker coach in 2016. Despite this, Wolves are hesitant to offer him another chance due to concerns over their squad makeup and recruitment policies.
The Chinese conglomerate behind Wolves is now accepting that issues with the team's makeup need to be addressed, recognizing too much autonomy given to Pereira last season may have hindered his ability to make the necessary changes. The club has recently appointed Domenico Teti as director of football, who worked closely with Pérez.
While Wolves' next match against Chelsea is looming large on Saturday, the club's focus is now firmly on finding a new manager to turn their fortunes around. With Pereira gone and other candidates like O'Neil and Edwards in the frame, Wolves fans are hopeful that change will soon come for the team.

they're getting absolutely smashed by everyone! Pérez just didn't seem to get it right, even with all the changes he made, he still couldn't turn things around 
. And now Edwards is the one who's being considered and people are hoping for a change 
. I think it's time for Wolves to get some new blood in charge and make some real changes behind the scenes 
. Can we please just see them have a good run of form soon? 
I mean, no surprise really... a 3-0 loss at Fulham is basically the ultimate test of a manager's skills, and it looks like Vítor Pereira failed miserably. At least he won't be around to collect another paycheck 
. Gary O'Neil would be a great hire, he was actually decent when he was here last time... fingers crossed he doesn't mess it up this time either 
, or they might end up at the bottom of the league for good 
. Like, if someone's not doing well, why keep them? I mean, Pérez was trying to turn things around, but it seems like Wolves just got worse under him 
. Now they're looking for someone else, and Edwards is a good choice since he was already with the team before 
. But, what if he's not the one to save the team? It feels like they're just throwing money at problems 
. Do they even know what makes a good manager? 
they're so majestic and powerful... have you ever seen a wolf pack in the wild? it's like one big happy family 
i mean, we should totally learn from their social dynamics and apply it to our own relationships 
anyway, back to Wolves... i don't think Gary O'Neil is the best candidate for the job, he seemed pretty out of touch with the team last time he was here 
plus, can you imagine the drama with Pérez still lurking around? 
what do you guys think Edwards would bring to the table?
. 22 goals conceded is insane! I remember when Keano was at the helm, he got them promoted from the Championship to the Premier League in just one season, that's what they need now - some stability and winning mentality 
. Edwards might be a good option but Wolves should also consider other ex players who can come back and lead the team back to success 
.
... I mean what's going on there? Pérez just couldn't cut it after 11 months and now they're looking at O'Neil or Edwards to turn things around 
. I hope whoever comes in next can sort out their squad makeup and recruitment policies... it's just not making sense anymore 
. Pérez was like this new hope everyone had, but he just couldn't seem to get it right. 3-0 at Fulham? That's just brutal 
. Edwards is a risk too, but they gotta try something new right? Wolves fans are getting restless, hope whoever takes over can bring some stability and a win or two 
Domenico Teti as director of football is a good move too, maybe he'll help sort out the squad makeup issues... fingers crossed for Wolves fans!
