Grasshoppers Zürich

[Sussex Wolf]

The fans on their forum think they are being sold. The fans there don't have any gratitude that we lent them bolla and kawabe and don't talk about wolves in glowing terms.

If that’s the case, then they can rot!

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Sky Sun can't be a real person ? Is it a new tv channel ?

 

[cannockwolves]

To be honest, I have always thought Sky Sun would be Jeff's successor. At some point Jeff will have done his service and expect to return to China.

I would not be surprised for one minute if Jeff moves on, it is bound to happen at some point.

It’s a common Chinese name

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

It’s a common Chinese name

Fair enough.

 

[hollo]

It feels ike jeff shi will leave tbh.

 

[AndyWolves]

Has something happened?

 

[Wandsworth Wolf]

Jeff has been noticeably absent since Lopetegui arrived - he was often filmed with new players when signing their contracts, but I didn’t see him once this past transfer window.

Maybe that was part of the deal - Julen wanted total control over playing staff.

 

[hollo]

Has something happened?

The poor start to the campaign, the sacking of sellars, the struggle to sign a manager , the two new wolves directors (watching eye)and yes lack of jeff shi at the unveiling of new signings. Maybe jeff shi will leave at the end of the season.
I don't believe sky sun left for family reasons. The talk on grasshoppers forum is that fosun are selling up due to year on year losses at the club.

 

[Flump]

Interesting are they being sold??

Good God, why does everyone leap to that conclusion when anything happens to any club?!

 

[Wandsworth Wolf]

I thought Grasshoppers weren’t actually owned by Fosun - am I wrong about that?

No smoke without fire

No smoke without fire

Like all that "smoke" when Wolves weren't spending, and people convinced themselves it meant we were being prepped for a sale, or that time we sold players and people convinced themselves we were being asset stripped before a sale, or that time that we hired Lopetegui and spent a load of money, and people convinced themselves we were being prepped for a sale?

1 person with a young family from China leaving Switzerland is not very smoky.

Interesting... I call mine 'The One Eyed General'.

Well when there is nobody talking.. Fans will always become concerned now we know it’s the Chinese way.

MOXEY and Morgan scared us all

What's the Chinese way?

 

[SuperGran]

He better not be

I don’t know anything about him

Don’t talk they do as they want change minds in business frequently

Fosun looking to sell Grasshoppers. They want 35 million Francs.

Chinesen wollen bei GC wohl aussteigen – und fordern rund 35 Millionen Franken

Die chinesischen Klubbesitzer erwägen offenbar den Verkauf von GC. Der geforderte Preis dürfte Interessenten aber abschrecken. Zumal sich die Hoppers auch sportlich in einer schwierigen Situation befinden.

Not good reading especially the bit about Sky Sun leaving because he was overwhelmed at Grasshoppers. Isn't he at Wolves these days?

As predicted they will sell up as it’s failed venture

 

[lobodelsur]

We've been here before with the Jumilla experiment.
Weren't there recent reports of us being interested in buying Ostende in Belgium ? Maybe this is to raise capital for that - Belgium a better option for recruiting (e.g.) African players and the league is stronger than the Swiss one.

no he left us to go there

 

[Rabid Wolf]

no he left us to go there

I could be wrong but I'm sure I read that he's back at Wolves.

 

[hollo]

It was bill pan that came the other day from Fosun. Pan has been in zurich recently looking at the finances there.

 

[WickedWolfie]

I could be wrong but I'm sure I read that he's back at Wolves.

This would suggest otherwise...

 

[JOSWolf]

Looks like the plan hasnt worked. Was a nice idea but the league is awful. Has at least helped us with Toti though and a profit on the South Korean kid.

Ah that might be it.

More than they paid for Wolves!

 

[Compton wanderer]

Not true . 35m Francs is just under £32m . Fosun paid £45m for Wolves (£30m to Morgan and £15m to charity)

 

[Rowzed]

Not true . 35m Francs is just under £32m . Fosun paid £45m for Wolves (£30m to Morgan and £15m to charity)

Ah, I had it down as £30m, at any rate it seems a bit steep even by Zurich standards

 

[Flump]

Impressive that "Dazzling Dave" has three separate sources, each high up enough within Fosun to know about their internal succession planning

I could be wrong but I'm sure I read that he's back at Wolves.

No mention of this anywhere on the internet that I can see.

The Austrian league is rubbish but RB Leipzig still use it as a productive nursery. Our scouting is just generally sub-par and we don't integrate players back into the side well enough.

 

[bigwolf]

Who would call themselves Dazzling Dave.

I mean refering to themselves in the third person is bad enough but adding Dazzling in is just weird.

There has to be a joke here about frying and fires, but I'm too tired after work to do it

He’s a really lovely chap. Perhaps it’s you that’s weird.

I know his brother Peter. Nice guy but he needs to grow up.
