Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Walter Zenga has been under alot of pressure lately, but sacking the Italian would be a big mistake.

The inconsistency surrounding Molineux over the last few weeks has simply turned into misery, and as the games go by without a victory the pressure continues to grow for manager Walter Zenga.

Whilst some Wolves fans believe he should be given time others think that there needs to be a change, but right now that would be the biggest mistake the club could possibly make.

To jump straight to the point, let us look at example one – Stale Solbakken. Solbakken was actually given more time than Zenga should he be sacked today, but once his departure was announced a managerial merry-go-round continued that led the jump down into the path of League One. That alone should be enough to scare people off the idea.

Then, you have the fact that Zenga is still working out this squad. It is a big team and whilst results do suggest that things are not getting any better, perseverance in the answer at the very least for a few more weeks. Right now, there is no obvious candidate lined up to take the helm and for those of you saying Sam Allardyce, it just would not happen so soon after the England debacle.

Also, dismissing him proves that the power is still firmly in the hands of the fickle Wolves bunch despite the takeover. In terms of fan bases, you will not find many with an attention span as short as the Molineux faithful.

Jeff Shi needs to stand up and take a stand, showing that he will not be a knee jerk reaction kind of owner. To put it bluntly, time is key.
