Porch or Tuchel would cost plenty but peanuts compared with the cost of relegation. We should approach them.
IrrigationWhat did the Romans ever do for us!
Julen: So what's the budget for January to fix this mess?
Jeff: We spent it all in the summer
Julen: Thanks for coming
Other people did say it was a definite done deal no denying that…. they were wrong and did not knowI don't see it that way. They told us we wanted Lopetegui, that we were holding out fir him, that Shi had flown to Spain to try and persuade him. All true.
Blinds, candles, noses.What did the Romans ever do for us!
A classic Wolves move.Think it was reported we didnt bother interviewing anyone else and just threw everything at Lopetegui
I don't think he knows he **** from his elbow!It's called insider trading. Something that our chancellor knows all about.
I don’t know. If he keeps us up or turns us round then there’s a conversation to be had. I’m thinking out loud.Nuno's under contract in Saudi. Why would he com back for six months?
Yeah that’s fine we could all see that on Twitter but some said it was a done deal and had been for weeksI don't see it that way. They told us we wanted Lopetegui, that we were holding out fir him, that Shi had flown to Spain to try and persuade him. All true.
Lopetegui's father was Ill before. I don't know if it was common knowledge though. I never knew until the other day. It's perfectly reasonable to think Lopetegui never told Mendes - it has nothing to do with him after all.Because it’s flamin obvious that he fired Lage when he knew Lopetegui was about to be sacked and available. He lined it up to finally get his man, and he’s been let down again. As with the Spain offer, Lopetegui again has the perfect reason for saying no, but Shi has been made to look a fool, and so have Wolves. Lopetegui’s father was ill before all this started, it’s not news, and so either Lopetegui or Mendes has taken Jeff for a ride. Just by remarkable coincidence, Martins job at Hull fell through at the 11th hour. I wonder why? He’s going to be announced as our new coach before the end of the week, and we’re supposed to celebrate? Shi and Mendes can go to hell.
As I said on the Shi thread, (even though there are extenuating circumstances here) it feels like this moment has been a long time in coming. We are at a desperate crossroads, and it is ultimately because Shi is not a proactive chairman; he still does not have adequate knowledge of the sport (or appointed a DoF who does).Why OTT? What’s not true? I’m serious Shi and Wolves have been made to look like fools. If I were another serious manager I wonder go anywhere near the club. It will be Martins or another Mendes backup and we will be expected to celebrate. Guo should fire Shi now. He’s about to devalue his PL asset by more than 50% when we get relegated.
Yes, for the second time, I fully understand that.For about the 500th time, we haven't had a manager since Mick. Ever since they have been called Head Coach for a reason.....
Mendes knows pretty much everything about his clients. Lopetegui isn't but his agent and Mendes are extremely close....Lopetegui's father was Ill before. I don't know if it was common knowledge though. I never knew until the other day. It's perfectly reasonable to think Lopetegui never told Mendes - it has nothing to do with him after all.
It's a model that works for most big clubs.Yes, for the second time, I fully understand that.
What I don’t understand is the model.
I can repeat that for a third time if you need.
It’s also reasonable to think that he’s taken a turn for the worse which would have bearing on his decision tooLopetegui's father was Ill before. I don't know if it was common knowledge though. I never knew until the other day. It's perfectly reasonable to think Lopetegui never told Mendes - it has nothing to do with him after all.
He needs to go now. Once again he put all his eggs in the Mendes basket and guess what, it’s got a ruddy great hole in the bottom of it. If I were Guo I’d tell him not to bother flying back to the U.K.
Think it was reported we didnt bother interviewing anyone else and just threw everything at Lopetegui
Tbf most big clubs has a competent DoF.It's a model that works for most big clubs.
If Shi goes you will get a less experienced Fosun man as Chairman. That won't change until or unless they sell up.So would I. Sellars and Shi out and lets get some top quality people in.
So just walked out of The Grand after watching the Commitments feeling good then see this bombshell! Bloody Hell. Something good surely has to happen to us soon.
Apparently accurate. Makes for a very worrying next 7 days doesn't it.
I’m very interested to know where the accurate shots will come from to score the goals for said wins.Genuinely interested to know where the goals will come from for said wins?
Yes, fair enough. I reckon the mods should ban the words 'done deal', it's like 'whatever could possibly go wrong now', it never works out well for us.Yeah that’s fine we could all see that on Twitter but some said it was a done deal and had been for weeks
Absolutely. At 90(?) Years old, a sudden decline can be a rapid one.It’s also reasonable to think that he’s taken a turn for the worse which would have bearing on his decision too
This is quite simply the cause of everything bad that has and is happening this season. That one decision that wasn’t made.Lage should have been sacked at the end of last season- we have idiots in charge.
I really hope Jeff shows some ambition. I'd be going all out for a top manager. There's no point when you have such a talented group of players we've just heavily invested in.
AgreePorch or Tuchel would cost plenty but peanuts compared with the cost of relegation. We should approach them.
Didn't fancy it i reckon.Why didn't he tell us this a week ago and not waste our time.

I am absolutely gutted and whilst mistakes have been made and fingers can be pointed I am actually quite proud on a human level the way the club has handled Lopetegui’s decision with dignity. The guy could be about to lose his father, and really that’s more important to him than anything else. We move on. Don’t know where and this season has the feel of one of those where nothing goes right. One thing I do believe is that things werent going to get better with Bruno remaining… it’s a low point for sure but let’s remember this club’s motto
