Saturday’s defeat was a performance and a result which gets managers the sack and teams relegated.
Wolves needed to take something from Fulham, who had lost their previous four games, but delivered their worst performance under Pereira.
It is therefore no surprise Wolves have sacked the 57-year-old.
Wolves wanted stability and consistency but are now searching for their fifth permanent manager in four years.
Pereira started to sound like a beaten man after defeat at Craven Cottage, and a change became inevitable.
Asked how Wolves could become the first Premier League team to survive relegation after taking two points from 10 games, he was unable to deliver a convincing answer.
Pereira is a good man, an honest person and an experienced coach, and he knew the situation was unlikely to turn in his favour.
A trip to Chelsea on Saturday does not appear to give Wolves a chance to end their winless start.
Going into the international break, Wolves must regroup quickly or they will drop into the Championship.
