Vitor Pereira, the Wolves head coach, has embraced a unique connection with fans by celebrating victories in local pubs like Wetherspoons. His mantra "First the points, then the pints" symbolizes this bond, which has been well received by the supporters. Following a successful run of six wins, he emphasizes the importance of experiencing both suffering and joy with the community. Pereira's approachable style and willingness to interact have endeared him to the fans, helping the team rise to mid-table safety in the Premier League.
If I lose the game I stay home and drink my beer alone. If I win the game, I go with the supporters to celebrate.
First the points, then the pints was a phrase coined by Pereira which has transferred to the stands, with the words now adorning a banner at Molineux.
The connection with the people is stronger when we suffer together and, when you are in a situation where you are fighting for survival, you feel this connection.
Trips to the local Wetherspoons near the train station after victories have become a fixture - with Molineux serenading him with 'We'll see you in 'Spoons'.
