I think JL was a coward to quit and doesn’t deserve the ‘elite’ coach tag but you’re probably right in just who is the difficult one to work with at Wolves. I believe JL would have wanted free reign to bring in whoever whereas Jeff is very much in the pocket of Mendes and his recommended players. When JL arrived I honestly thought he would have the freedom to choose players but now think the power struggle that resulted was inevitable really.
Yes and a similar power struggle probably emerged with Nuno, too. He'd said that we would transform our style, but wasn't given the resources to realistically achieve it. It implies we can never have a genuine top manager as none of them would agree to work under these constraints. Only inexperienced and/or short term merceneries (Zenga).
