Lopetegui

[Macman]

Makes me smile with Lops. He is still the manager I would want, yet he has turned us down twice (both legitimate reasons in fairness) and his side beat us in our biggest game since 1972. He may as well join another PL side to really stab us in the back, and twist the knife.

 

[JOSWolf]

If he’s coming here why don’t we just say so at least the fans would know where they stand and what’s going on. Would also massively increase support knowing that a top class coach that is worth waiting for is coming in.

Exactly why I dont think he is coming, mate. He will end up at Leeds is my bet.

 

[Munro Munro]

Hope it is Lops but whoever it is needs to use the WC break to our maximum advantage, we have to start after that break up and running at full speed

Probably because plenty can change from now and the time of his arrival.

The passing of his father could have negative impact on him mentally.

He may decide to take some time out the game.

A bigger club could come in and hijack the deal.

Ever since the Fosun takeover we have tried to operate silently.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

We ain't getting anybody, surely that's obvious? The club will be sold in the New Year for whatever FOSUN can get for it. Read the thread on the Forbes Report. FOSUN are in deep, deep financial ****. The last thing they will be doing is risking having to pay off the contract of an expensive manager. The project is over, folks.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Can someone please explain where this Leeds connection is coming from? People will soon be quoting it a "rumour", but it just seems to have come out of the blue in this thread. I'm not a Twitter user - have I missed something?

 

[Loefah]

Balague said Lopetegui would be in the Premier League soon even before he turned us down.

I don't think there's any new developments, just that the PL is where he will get a job next.

Why would they have to pay his contract off?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I read that just as the journo predicting that Lopetegui will manage in the PL soon, that could be anytime in the next 5 years to qualify as soon. No specific link to a club.

He said "very soon", not "soon", and "very soon" has an expiry date of two months.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Haha. Well in that case he’s off to Leeds. It ain’t gonna be us.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

The podcast referred to regarding Lopi coming to the PL “soon”. I’m not planning to listen to it as it’s mainly about UE going to Villa.

This is a definition from? How many weeks is soonest, or extremely soon?

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Because Leeds are "Very Soon" ? Do all PL clubs have a soon rating that we can apply in order to understand the code?

 

[Newportwolf]

Yeh….ours is….’not anytime soon’

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

There’s a scale of Villa (very soon) to Wolves (not at all soon).

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Yeh….ours is….’not anytime soon’

I'd agree, just wondering why Leeds, in particular, are Very Soon. Seems a given.

 

[Stourport wolf]

It is like we imagine the worse scenario with Lopetegui and then invent the worst outcome, so we can justify an attack on the people we are already angry with.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Call me foolish but I want a manager who wants to come here.

 

[Stourport wolf]

Lopetegui won't be going to Villareal. They have named Quique Setiene as their new manager.

Just replaced Emery…leaves Gallardo free

 

[grubbyears]

That makes a little more sense, particularly if the backroom staff do a mini pre-season and squad evaluation... Still risky as hell though...

 

[Wolf316]

Yeah I mean how dare he want to spend time with his seriously ill elderly father.

Already ffs!!!! Don't they have a clue? They are supposed to fanny and faff about for at least 3 weeks, pedaling the job to at least 2 coaches that will turn them down publicly before appointing their U21 coach until 2023!!!

 

[TFWanderers]

Does highlight how proper clubs go about their business.

Manager out, manager straight in.

 

[mcwolf]

He's implying Leeds.

he will be the new wolves manager

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Would that help or hinder the interim guy? I'm not sure which myself.

 

[GateWolf]

He's implying Leeds.

his debut will be against us in the Cup in November no doubt

 

[Wolf316]

Would that help or hinder the interim guy? I'm not sure which myself.

Help I’d say. It will certainly get the crowd off their backs and players will improve knowing that an incoming new coach is watching them.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

I did not mean to imply that. We have been discussing managers in general. I dont know what has been said between our recruiting team ( whoever they are ) but this situation is getting more and more of a joke.
Either we have enough reasons for a top manager to come here or we have to cut our cloth and accept that the well has run dry and lower our expectations.

My guess is that Lopetegui has said he wants the job but needs to spend some time with his father first. We then tried to get Beale in and when he turned us down we decided to wait for Julen.

Beale was very dismissive of Wolves today. Hope that comes back to bite him.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Massive gamble we could easily have another 3 losses and be 6 to 8 points adrift in 20th by WC,

We then have United as well as Newcastle I think it is and possibly losing neves probably early doors in Jan

How wonderful, but we have been through this and league one in my recent years so hey find the fight and in the darkness cometh light


But seriously from our next 6 I currently dont see a win

Where as Leicester, west ham even the vile showing how to fight. Look at Moyes and Rodgers they are getting to turn round

Just have to rely on forest finding **** still and southampton and Leeds dragging too

Why do u think Lopetegui might want the job? We love the club but why would he be desperate to come?

 

[Skrilla]

I'll let you know, extremely soon.

It just to show though the lack of ability of Shi and Sellars to run a club with focus and motivation. As was pointed out previously on this site that the way it was announced that Davis would stay as manager until the end of the year was handled in a way leading to demoralising Davis and the team.
There are ways to do things. We must have the same PR team as Liz Truss.

 

[Wolf316]

May be an unfinished business type thing and he was obviously impressed by us as he was going to join in the championship.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Vitor pereira perhaps

 

[Wolf316]

Vitor Ferreira perhaps

Getting the Brazil national job isn’t he?

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

The only reason anybody wants to come to this club is for Premier league football. We are part of the richest league. We are massively underachieving with the players we have.
