Surely you’re answering your own question. Despite earning a fortune which he could have easily have carried on earning by staying he decided our ambitions didn’t match his and chose to leave.
Mindbender isn't it - walked away from a large fortune with us for a small fortune, rejected a very large fortune to go to Saudi (have you given up on that garbage now). So he's either a money grabber who doesn't actually like money, or a bloke with plenty of money who wants career satisfaction. You decide .....
Our financial capacity, didn't match his methods of trying to achieve success, is maybe closer to it. You can't spend money you haven't got, well you can but generally ends in tears.
Can’t disagree with that.
I can’t be bothered to go back to my post at the time of JL’s interview but it was made in the context of the circumstances prevailing last Spring. At that stage there was much noise about Fosun’s corporate financial difficulties world wide and I believe it more than possible Shi’s hands were tied with regard to promises for funding which had been made six months previously. I felt then JL’s actions with Balague were designed to denigrate the Club and get himself out with a pay off. As our leader and the guy we were pinning our hopes on I thought it reeked of self interest, and he didn’t give a damn about the club or supporters. I give him respect for chiselling us out of a mess last season though I became embarrassed with his touchline antics. But I really don’t want an egocentric character like that serving up turgid football and hope that GON’s improved football can now kick on. UTW…
His payout from wolves was less than a years salary.
He was rumoured to be on £8m a year so less than that.

His boss was a big part of the problem though.
That was all on Shi.
Utter and complete rubbish! I could never knuckle down and work for a boss who at the very least l suspect lied through his teeth to me. In doing that Shi showed zero respect and that's exactly what l'd have for him.
Very notable that Shi wasn't mentioned at all in JL's leaving statement.
Every story he states comes from someone though, so if he tweets it, it's his mistake.
What's rubbish? We have no idea what he was promised or any of the details or what changed, all we do know is that it is perfectly normal for all big businesses for things to change, due to multiple factors and normal for employees to have the flexibility and agility to cope.
Which would make him the 6th highest paid manager in the premier league, earning twice what Emery, Howe, Moyes earn. Plus the wages of a huge support staff.
Id guess with our league position at the time we were a pretty unattractive job so had to pay a decent wedge to get him in.
Yeah plus the fact we’d chased him for years, really wanted him, he’d got a good pedigree etc.

Is that £1.5 an hour? Crikey, below the minimum wage...
O'Neil is making Lopetegui's comments and behaviour all look a bit silly. Said at the time that our side wasn't exactly bad and if Lopetegui had produced a good season then it would have done his reputation an awful lot of good in this country and then he could whore himself to the bigger clubs (which I've no doubt was always his long term intention). Bet he's hating the praise that's rightly going O'Neil's way at the moment. I'd love to see him rock up at Palace, I'm sure he'll love the huge budget he'll have to rebuild down thereBeen linked with Palace along with Potter and Cooper. I think getting a 'top' Premier League job is proving more difficult than he thought. I think he's really tarnished his image by leaving us on the eve of the season, regardless of what he had or hadn't been promised by Shi.
As time has gone he's starting to look more foolish. Whining about spending money but now Wolves are media darlings and considered very astute for denying him and avoiding PSR (FFP) penalties. That has been a bad look for him. On top of that, despite doing a great job last season, young upstart GON has come in, taken the team that he felt was inadequate and put them comfortably in mid table and looking upwards, playing more entertaining football and scoring more goals. The comparisons between the two are making him look a bit like yesterday's man rather than the future of football.

Couldn't help but think of him yesterday and that 0-6 game at Brighton. How things have changed. Agree with everything you say.Been linked with Palace along with Potter and Cooper.

But according to many of his followers, that was because we were on the beach and it didn't matter. (Same as the Arsenal performance)
he’s a ****ing mercenary.
and now we’ve moved onto better things.
A humble, progressive, adaptive and resourceful manager.
