Wolves' pint glass looks half empty now, with or without Vitor

THERE are things that can definitely be levelled at Vitor Pereira's door.

The constant changing of a team, not knowing his best side, an inability to keep clean sheets or fix the gaping defensive holes and ultimately win a football match.

But nothing has been resolved by letting him go.

The problems still persist and will do so for a while yet. But his departure felt inevitable with every defeat, as inevitable as the Championship currently looks. Certainly after the post-match scenes following the Burnley defeat.

This was a man who galvanised the club and kept them up comfortably last season, who drank pints with the supporters in the pub afterwards, who was handed a new contract a mere matter of weeks ago.
