Did they think to mention it when selling the even more expensive season tickets?
OK, that might have been a tad sarcastic. It's all very well saying he's open and honest, so why did say we were buying £15m players when he surely already knew we needed that £85m profit, I mean 'we'll but a couple of £15m players once we've shifted £180m worth out' would have been a bit more honest (assuming this is profit after Cunha and Traore were paid for?)ha ha yes he answered this in detail on national radio
he didn't really, but then he wasn't really asked thatWhat did he say about the future in terms of spending? Thanks.

Let's be honest, the tone of the conversation is very different if we hadn't just beat Man City. That's coming from someone who does believe GON deserves a fair chance, i.e. a few months, and not just a month and no preseason, so I'm not against him (and wasn't before the game), but context is important.Interesting to compare and contrast Molineux Mix with real life:
1. A bunch of knowledgable and reasonable football blokes just had an informed and intelligent discussion about Wolves in which nobody had a bad word to say about our manager and in which Mark Chapman for one was very complimentary about some of the football we've played this season. Our director of football gave a very measured and credible account of where we are heading as a club which was taken seriously by all concerned and everyone seemed interested and engaged.
2. But in actual fact we know Wolves are run by asset-stripping liars who are under the thumb of the Chinese government and are engaged in a cynical endgame to maximise profit from a project they no longer care about and have employed a yes-man PE teacher as manager because he was the cheapest option who, was it not for a lucky result against Citeh, has until the Villa game to save his job. We are currently on course for relegation, most likely double-relegation and probably bankruptcy as a result.

That’s a really good interview and went down v well with the pundits
Total contradictions in what he said about project being back on track, then buying £15m players to needing £85m profit, not definition of straight.no idea mate
as is always the case with these people, they put a nice gloss on it and we can always pick holes
but strikes me he's calm, straight and well spoken. Considering the madness that has gone on, i'm glad we've got him
I know it's half tongue in cheek, but you don't force a sporting director to make an £85m profit if you care about success.Interesting to compare and contrast Molineux Mix with real life:

85m profit? That’s Billy bull shine we are on €75m according to transfermarktI know it's half tongue in cheek, but you don't force a sporting director to make an £85m profit if you care about success.
Also, the O'Neil praise is reminding me of the 'apology to Gary O'Neil' thread after the first game. In fairness, the critics, including myself, should acknowledge how well he did on Saturday, but all the concerns don't go out the window.
IT’S NUMBER TWO! Wake up sheeple!Interesting to compare and contrast Molineux Mix with real life:

When we sell Neto and Gomes in the Jan window?85m profit? That’s Billy bull shine we are on €75m according to transfermarkt
So where has the other 10m come from? Someone exaggerated the interview?
We was told by the media 50m transfer profit.

Yes, I actually quite like Hobbs, he's done a good job from what I can see. But do me a favour - 'tonight we're going to rip Matt Hobbs apart, and next week our special guest is - oh hang on'.......Bunch of journos who know **** all about Wolves brown nose their guest, meanwhile the views of fans who watch week in week out are irrelevant. Strange take.
We sold total of €169.20mHobbs said himself it was £85m
We sold total of €169.20m
Transfer Profit €75.20m
Hobbs can say what he wants the figures add up

Absolutely this. He was really good, sounded great, a clear plan, a chance to re-set and go for a different strategy. But let's be honest, it's all a bit convenient that we decided the best strategy was to employ a young hungry coach we didn't need to pander to and young and hungry players just when the money ran out.Came across well but I think he’s done a good job of making it sound like they have this new considered approach which is much better than we had say in the summer. Seems clear to me they had to tailor this to fit the situation as opposed to it being a plan in the first place.
If it goes pear shaped will we do a u turn and employ an experienced manager or stick with looking for another up and coming one?
Haven't listened yet, but any answers to some obvious questions
1. When did they work this out?
2. Did they think to mention it when selling the even more expensive season tickets?
3. Is this to stay within £35m annual loses or less?
4. Since we ended up about there, does this mean Nunes was always going?
I've heard his vision is to have you suitably tanked up for every home game starting Saturday.Excellent interview, but one question: what is his vision? I think he referred to it, but didn't define it. That aside, an honest, open interview, very good.
Helped we won though!
