MOXEY was smart with money not throwing it about at agents hoping it works out we would have a better model with him handling the big money

Probably the worst post in the history of the Mix right here. You are being ridiculous.

Jez Moxey was a money draining parasite who held this club back for years. I actually opened a bottle of champagne when the news came out that Jeff had got rid of Jez.

Since Jeff has been here we have gone from mid table championship to having a great run in Europe and a trip to Wembley. No way would anyone sane prefer Jez to Jeff.

 

[OLDGOLD]

I don't think I know enough about the inner workings of the club to be able to contribute a valuable opinion, so I won't.

Thanks Jeff......

 

[tonto]

Wouldn’t even put them in the same breath.

Moxey was a parasite, Jeff Shi has given us the best years many of us have had in years.

Not saying all is perfect but to compare these two is like day and night.

I never ever thought I would hear or read someone say they would rather have Moxey back I am stunned, totally speechless

 

[Timberwolf]

You can't be satisfied seeing Wolves be the only Premier League club to raise their season ticket prices for the fifth year consecutively? And for what? To watch relegation battles and barely any goals? Being charged top 8 prices to watch a club fighting relegation under potentially Rob Edwards is unforgivable and unacceptable.

From what strange world are you from where everything goes hunky dory for any football club…? We’re still in the Premier League and it all starts again next season. Who knows what the **** will happen but whatever it is, it’s football, good and bad.

No, instead he threw pennies at players like Eggert Jonsson hoping they'd work out and skipped agent fees by ringing Conor Washington to "see how he was". After being quickly bombed out of Norwich he's found himself at the mighty Burton Albion. Also worth remembering that taking inflation into account, PL season tickets under Moxey for new STHs were more than they have been under Fosun, and we had way more supply than demand

The man was a leech

He was a leech but kept us debt free remember

Also Julen walks what will the players think and what manager would want to take over? Keep walking into the fire Jeff. MOXEY was never this stupid just tight ass because we didn’t have much money!!

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

oh dear. what’s next? bed sheets?

I hear that we haven't got the cash for Semedo's 2 year extension.......................................................oh! hang on.

 

[lobodelsur]

He approved the silva, Semedo, nunes, Cunha deals when we weren’t in the financial position to do those signings

Don't recall too many protests when Nunes ('one of the best players in the World' - Pep Guardiola) was linked with us.
Nor do I recall any complaints when we were screaming for a striker and Cunha was brought in...
Or did I miss your posts ?

 

[ombyman]

Thread needs removing.

Why?

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Couple of genuine questions…

When Fosun arrived at the club, would you have taken pretty much instant promotion, year on year premier league survival, and a European journey? Would that be classed as successful? Perhaps consider the 35 years previous before answering.

Secondly, for the first time in their tenure, when the **** really hit the fan, would you say they could have done too much more than go out and get Lopetegui and give him a 100m plus war chest to keep us up?

Mistakes have been made, as they are at every club. But some of the criticism Fosun, in particular Jeff, gets, just blows my mind.

Get a grip, it’s more the fact that the constant blunders seem to occur from shi’s decisions and actions, after all he’s ran the club for the last 6 years even though he’s unfit for purpose.

Appointing Rob Edwards will be the final **** take and confirm relegation for next season. The protests will begin at the first game.

 

[Deleted member (smith)]

The question is stupid because it does not address the alternative. Jeff represents Fosun. Fosun have constraints. So the question is should Fosun sell up ….but you can’t answer than unless you know the new owner and their plans. Or you are thoughtless.

 

[Sammy Chungs Tracksuit]

Give Jeff a break. He is a million times better than ****ing Moxey ever was.

Exactly this. Moxey treated the clubs money as his own. Which in a way it was because his financial package was clearly linked to the clubs financial performance. Everything on Moxey's watch was always too little, too late going right back to Dave Jones premier league season where there were no clear guidelines and time was wasted chasing unattainable targets which left us signing dross at the last minute. Oleg Luzhny anyone?
McCarthy did well to get us up as champions on a shoestring. Momentum kept us up for a season but after that it was all down hill bar Stephen Hunts goal to keep us up then Moxey took us right down to League 1 with a bomb squad.
Moxey bought in the the likes of O'Hara and Roger Johnson because they were "outstanding value" in his penny wise, knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing ways.
Serious money (for us) was only ever spent under Moxey when in panic mode. He failed to properly fund Jackett after his miracle League One promotion and we missed out on the playoffs due to only signing Afobe after a run of poor form. Backing Jackett earlier that season could have taken us back up instead of 7th place.
Even Delia rumbled him in half a season,
Dont even think about comparing Moxey in any kind of positive light compared to Jeff Shi.
Anti Moxey rant over.

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

That's some odd linkage and logic right there. FOSUN will get a big return on their initial investment when they sell the club, assuming we aren't relegated by then which is an increasing possibility with how badly they're mismanaging the club.

As for season ticket prices, the product isn't good now and will likely get worse, yet they continue to increase. What's your point?

The point is that FOSUN have invested huge sums in the club and taken us from being a mid table Championship club to a mid table Premier League club and yet people are treating them like they are the second coming of the Bhatti brothers, without giving any thought to how far behind the curve we were after decades in the wilderness while other clubs have had 20-30 years of Premier League exposure. In the 2015/16 season we finished 14th in the Championship under Kenny Jackett amid a backdrop of serious supporter unrest. So how exactly have FOSUN mismanaged the club from there to where we are now and how are we worse?

 

[Kennedy]

Irrespective of what’s happening with lopetegui, it’s clear he isn’t fit to run a football club.

I feel your pain brother but history tells us there are a lot lot worse people that could be in charge..

Get a grip???
Oh the irony
We’re in the Premier League and have an owning company that’s ploughed more money into Wolves than all previous owners put together. You’re ****ing your pants and you’re telling me to ‘get a grip’? You’re unhinged.

 

[DanishWolf]

Fosun have taken us quite far, which is why it's quite astonishing if they manage to undo all that good work..
But hopefully they don't.

Are we confirming relegation again already?

Didn’t we only confirm it a couple of months ago?

Right, so all the decisions that were inspired, like appointing Nuno and JL, signing Neves, Jota, Moutinho, Patricio, Raul, Lemina, Dawson etc were nothing to do with Shi but all the wrong decisions were entirely down to him and show he is unfit to run a football club? You have a very myopic view and selective memory my friend.

Is he perfect? no. Has he made mistakes? yes. But we are a far different club now to what we were July 2016 so on balance you have to say he's done ok. If he was as incompetent as you suggest we would either a) never have got promoted in the first place or b) been relegated 3-4 seasons ago

Zzzzzz

 

[Streathamwolf]

As well as Nuno, Raul, Jota, Patricio, Johnny, RAN, Boly(?), Loppy - 3 times! - etc

Are there not enough real things in the world that annoy you, so you have to make up imaginary ones to be angry about instead?

Get a grip, appointing Saunders, SAF or almost anyone would be wrong but we have a manager. Where the **** do you get Edwards being appointed from? Do not say some 14 year old on Twitter.

 

[Streathamwolf]

I’d rather Moxey back at least he gave answers and worked well within our parameters Jeff just listening to Mendes

I don't believe you are a troll so on that basis I am going to assume you are ****ed or taking the ****.

Or both

@ Mile End Wanderer - you 'like' a post which describes yours as being 'the worst in the history of the Mix' and you as being 'ridiculous' ?????

Ffs Mile End he was ****e. Totally out of his depth.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

......with a rubber mattress protector.

 

[VancouverWolf]

lets get this bloody season done with and look forward to the next one.

The summer window is about to open and I believe the mods are in full pre window training……by reading a lot of old Trump tweets

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

People have short memories.

MOXEY kept us afloat and debt free would be ideal for clubs working within FFP.

Jeff has and fair play bankrolled us to the verge of breaking FFP - the same situation people want Everton docking points for?

Which one do we want sensible moxeyfied strategy?? Or someone who just listens to Mendes and almost putting us in a chaotic position…

We can’t have our cake and eat it.

People always overreact we are Wolves fans. Worst post ever read was someone saying the likes of Batth and co was a case for euthanasia. Had me in stitches

MOXEY wasn’t all that bad. He just wouldn’t spend what we didn’t have and that’s it. Leech or not anyone would of given themselves decent pay in his position. Jez has made enough to retire on and rightly so he’s a good businessman

 

[hollo]

Ffs Mile End he was ****e. Totally out of his depth.

Why didn't he last at Norwich?

 

[SuperGran]

Why didn't he last at Norwich?

Is he still at burton a*****

 

[JohnB]

Remind me when did we last pay £200m out on transfer fees (or net £150m) in a season?

Come back Bhattis all is forgiven.

Careful what we wish for.

 

[Jefe]

I think this is the frustration for me. I've been counting down the days for this dreadful, stressful season to be done and dusted. Every Wolves fan has, so we could look forward to a Summer of hope and optimism, of backing the manager and watching him build the team he wants. So this feels like another kick in the teeth.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Ffs Mile End he was ****e. Totally out of his depth.

Hardly out of his depth, indeed the exact opposite delivered on behalf of the owners and took the flak for them, many ways did a perfect job from their perspective,

 

[cannockwolves]

I don't know what is worse, the original post or the 50% or so that think Jeff should be sacked. Unbelievable, Jeff is chairman of a major sporting subdivision of a multi-billion corporation that has a reputation for ruthlessness.

We are the 7th top spenders over the last five years. We have seen some fantastic football, but injuries to key players like Jiminez, Jota, Neto, Sasha, Jonny etc have stalled our progress.

To say Jeff is not capable to run a Premier league club is lunacy, he has been doing it for the last five years. It's just not like championship manager is it. This is a complex multi-million £ business with complex rules, egos, agents, and incredible competion for everything from players to youth players. Jeff does just fine.
