Wolves Hand Pereira Short Reprieve as Board Sets Three-Game Ultimatum

A brief reprieve reflects concern over dismissal costs versus the far greater risk of relegation.

Overview

  • Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League without a win in nine after a 3-2 home defeat to Burnley decided by a 95th‑minute goal.
  • Club chiefs are publicly backing Vítor Pereira for now, with multiple reports saying he has until the international break to deliver across games against Chelsea, Fulham, and Chelsea again.
  • A Chinese delegation from owners Fosun attended the Burnley match, with Football Insider reporting that ownership is actively assessing the manager’s position.
  • Supporters chanted for Pereira to be sacked as he confronted fans post-match, while Jørgen Strand Larsen also engaged with the crowd and José Sá argued with supporters outside Molineux.
  • Pereira signed a new three-year deal in September; an analyst estimated a payout in the region of £4m, while potential relegation losses could exceed £100m, and Brendan Rodgers has been linked after leaving Celtic though coverage says Wolves are sticking with Pereira for now.
