Lopetegui

[GuzzWolf]

Hopefully before the game on Saturday so there will be a much better atmosphere.

Hopefully, first trip this season so didn't really want to experience a poor atmosphere.

 

[Tojo the grass]

Yeah................................. But he's not really, though, is he.

Which bit?

 

[JohnB]

I was wondering if maybe it’s pronounced differently in its correct form (Spanish) that the English lop-e-teg-u-i. Sounds like they are saying lop-eteh

Correct lopetayee

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Yeah................................. But he's not really, though, is he.

You'll be telling us we're not the greatest team the world has ever seen next!

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Rather silly to be composing songs about a bloke who may or may not be our manager in the future.

i read this in the voice of my old georgraphy teacher.

he was a miserable git too

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

He's not really better than Zidane either, but that's never stopped us. All football songs are full of bare faced lies! I mean we aren't the greatest team I'm football the world has ever seen either (just in our hearts).

and Parkes was not really better than Yashin

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

and Parkes was not really better than Yashin

I would take exception to that as Parkes was good enough to play for us and Yahin. .....not that I am biased in any way.

 

[WalsallWolf]

Liam Keen just tweeted everything on track for him to be Head Coach and doesn't rule out him taking any games before World Cup

Announcement on Saturday maybe?

Still nervous until it’s done

Sung to Oasis - She's Electric

Shi's electric and he's mixed with a family full of eccentrics,
Shi did things we'd never expected and finally signed Lopetegui,
and it's about bloody time.

Best i could after the last offering.

Shaky Stevens - Julie

Whoa, whoa Julen, he loves the Wolves truly
Shi wanted you Julen, to be, to be his very own?

Me too. There seems a lot of talking and discussions…

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

It’s happening this time. Work permit needs sorting first.

“Lopetegui has nothing signed with the Wolves”

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Me too. There seems a lot of talking and discussions…

I'm taking this as a positive. He wants to make sure his staff get sorted, he wants to know we are going to invest in the players he needs, he's coming in with his eyes open and calling the shots. Just what we need.

 

[Loefah]

Tweets in Spanish aren't that helpful. What exactly does it say?

Okay. Translated it as "He hasn't signed anything at wolves. There are TWO other PREMIER TEAMS that bet on him".

 

[Middlesex Mixer]

“There are two other premier teams in contention for him.”

Two other teams? Can only think Leicester and Leeds and both haven't indicated they are about to remove their managers.

 

[EastDorsetWolf]

“There are two other premier teams in contention for him.”

Leeds & Leicester is my guess.

 

[Superted]

If he turned us down for a third time to sign with another PL club then I think Wolverhampton as a city would spontaneously combust along with a few small areas of the North American continent.

 

[Peszkywolf]

Leeds & Leicester is my guess.

Is it happening again? Tbh I'd rather take the Wolves or Leicester jobs over Leeds. Not sure how Leicester are looking financially mind?

 

[oldgolded]

This is so protracted it's excruciating.

 

[SuperGran]

Two other teams? Can only think Leicester and Leeds and both haven't indicated they are about to remove their managers.

Given that trusted journalists have said he initiated the talks and that they are advanced I would say that it’s not likely but hurry up wolves

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

Well it’s no wonder Jeff started a music label with all of this songwriting talent amongst the fanbase…

Anyhow, to all of those questioning Madeley’s talents as a journalist be silenced forever;

 

[bod101]

It'll be timed to coincide with the new owners taking over.

 

[EastDorsetWolf]

It'll be timed to coincide with the new owners taking over.

Who are?

 

[VancouverWolf]

Correct lopetayee

I already posted this on Tuesday…..
I ain’t splitting the royalties with you.

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

Who are?

Vancouver and SteveBullsKnee - it’s why they work so hard to preserve the image of the club

 

[bod101]

Who are?

no idea, but its my massive stab in the dark.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I made it up, never actually saw Yashin

 

[wwbug]

Remains to be seen I guess.
I do not expect Julen Lopetegui to be the second coming of Jesus..but I will certainly welcome it if indeed that happens.

No , he is just a man. But imo the right man.

We always seem to take so long compared to other clubs in these "talks"

either way i guess it may be a case hes ready before arsenal.

It was touted early beginning of next week to be announced by some.

 

[old wittonian]

He once threw his cap at a referee in dissent.

I agree. Genuine question: why would it take a whole week to conclude? Many bigger deals agreed in less time.

The only thing I can think of is it being done in a relaxed manner and taking into account family circumstances ie: not committing whole days and nights to get it done.

 

[Flump]

Incredibly unlikely, IMO.

New owners would want their own new man, and it would be a very strange coincidence if that just happened to be the person Jeff's wanted since day 1.

Work permits for him and his staff maybe

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

This would only be once talks are concluded though

Wolves probably concluded the talks and waiting for a perfectly timed announcement

Parkes was part of the Vancouver Whitecaps winning the NASL ‘79 Soccer Bowl. We had a nice team then.

[Supadavewolf]

and Parkes was not really better than Yashin

Aye, aye, aye aye

Davies is better than Yashin

and Ernie is better than Eusebio

we'll give them a hell of a thrashing

I remember singing it in the mid-60s, and Fred Davies being mentioned rather than Phil Parkes.

Anyway, RIP the ever-reliable Fred and that great entertainer Ernie Hunt, both sadly missed
