Was the original rumours from the pub deleted? If not I can’t find it. Always a good place to post, well, rumours from the pub with no fear of the pitch forks coming out if the post turned out to be wide of the mark..

Anyway, two rumours from said pub

Raul has been approached and is open to a return. Despite the ambiguous post he made about Japan

Edwards is done with Rui already confirmed to take over

To be fairI heard a similar conversation in the Stile before the game yesterday Me thinks it's more wishful thinking than fact - but dreaming is for free

all fingers and toes crossed
 
Rumours floating around that Jeff has been seen at the Compton base a few times this past week.

I know hes still part of the Fosun sporting set-up, but i know he usually avoids the training centre. So who knows how involved he still is.

That would be pretty Wolves, to be fair. Believable.

For my money it's as clueless as this makes it sound. Rui has immense respect for his Nuno association, he got credit for our dead cat bounce, but doesn't seem to have taken any flak over the recent dire performances. Do people think Edwards got bored of listening to his genius? He's a background guy, not a leader, an unsuccessful half a season as a manager doesn't say he's got the attributes.

Has anyone seen the video of Jeff at the training ground? Seems weird it's not been all over social media if that was the case.

No chance of Edwards going if Jeff is still on the scene. Not a good look for Nathan if he is still involved after he told us categorically he isn’t.

No idea who it was taking that video but obviously very anti Fosun,no wonder he got no answers lol
As for the JS rumours thats what they are rumours
Does seem very odd the guy who reckons hes got video footage of Jeff hasnt posted it with that clip

Yes you’d think if there was a video it woukd have been all over social media by now.
 
Nathan Shi looked like a rabbit in the headlights. He had no idea what to do or say. He looked like a frightened schoolboy when his media machine and ai script writer weren’t there. it’s clear from that clip (even if you watch it with no sound) that there is no way on earth that that guy is running the club.

I think it now beyond doubt that Jeff is still top dog at this club and we can expect many inexplicable decisions this summer.
 
The club should have a restraining order out against Jeff given the mess that ***** has made here. Probably got him hard at work overseeing our summer business on the sly.

Hope someone can get a question in about all this at the forum, as well as perhaps one about the ground currently falling apart and what is going to be done about that. That is, if there is time left after praising them for reducing the season ticket prices and discussing the liquidator and the catering of course

After the absolute car crash that Jeff has caused at the club why the **** would Fosun keep him around and still involved. Surely surely they can’t be that stupid. It’s certainly a question that needs asking at the Forum so we can put it to bed once and for all.

His win rate as a manager is 30% which is better than RE.

They don’t really give two ****s would be my answer. Nathan isn’t actually a proper CEO. He’s just been put there to look like one. He knows nothing about football and he has bosses who don’t want to put any money in. Ambitious my ****. If they had any they would be investing in serious people to run this club for starters. Shi Jr, Saunders II and Hackson lol? With Jeff still in the background? Do me a ****ing favour.

Fosuns main objective here is to further lower spending and ambition, but to take as minimal flak as possible with that. And the plan had started working fairly well up until the recent capitulations on the field got people annoyed again. This summer has absolute ****show written all over it lets be honest. Before we know there is a strong chance we’ll have a bottom half championship side in perpetuity and back to 18-19k watching weekly in what is now an increasingly crumbling ground.

Would you believe the answer that was given? I wouldn’t.
 
I'm generally optimistic that Nathan is an improvement on Jeff, but thats got me questioning myself if its genuine. Just ignoring everything being asked and not taking the time to speak is something i find concerning.

Its all rather stage managed if you ask me. The bloke is here working off a script. He’s not an actual proper serious CEO. Certainly not of a (soon to be ex) premier league football club. How can he be? What does he even know?

He’s been parachuted in for PR purposes. Of course he won’t be taking any questions on the fly. We are being massively fobbed off here if you ask me. Bad vibes on this from day one. There is no hiding place for him/them whatsoever this summer (well unless you count Shanghai obvs)
 
Until they sell up and leave, nothing is going to change. They are clearly wedded to a self sustaining model. So it really doesn’t matter who the CEO is, whether its Jeff or his tour rep nephew

Its more than possible what you are saying is correct. I think he is a proper CEO tbf to him, just not in a football environment as you say.

People are rightly going to be sceptical, its up to them not to prove us wrong or right.
 
Poor from the fan cast aswell to put that out, mention Jeff at the Training Ground but not produce the clip either.
