Lopetegui

[Timberwolf]

What a truly odd point of view. We don’t have any money. Not sure what else needs to happen for people to dial in.

I’m sure he/she was being sarcastic. Don’t be so serious…oh wait!

 

[so-called fan]

I think that’s possible yes, but for that to be true we would have to believe that paying him to leave (and replacing him with someone cheap and cheerful) is better than him still being there and grumpy.

And I don’t understand that thinking, given he’s clearly been grumpy for months and we have had a pretty good pre-season…

Good points, but perhaps they thought about what happened at his previous club when he was unhappy there.

Apologies if this has been put on this thread already but imo Sean Stanton sums up completely the way Jeff has put JLo in this situation to leave.

LOPETEGUI - A COMPLETE HORLICKS!

Sean Stanton shares his thoughts on the imminent departure of Julen Lopetegui following a summer of frustrations for the Wolves coach.

Great article

 

[Ercall Wolves]

The match thread for the 5-0 loss against Arsenal says otherwise

Oh behave he kept us in the premier

 

[TheConcourse]

I’m sure he/she was being sarcastic. Don’t be so serious…oh wait!

I did assume that to be the case after I hit post, as @SilverstoneWolf is usually good value. It’s been a long day in the life of a Wolves fan.

Doesn't anyone want to join my alternative reality where O'Neil will turn out a genius appointment? I mean, you never know! To start me off, I'm going to choose to believe that his football was only turgid because of the players he had to work with, and his brief to keep them up at all costs. (After all, that's not far off what Lopetegui did!)

 

[jeb01]

Yeah, but you can walk away from the ownership that is currently in place.

Yes, and I’m sorry to play the old fogey card, but some on here have seen some very dodgy owners and equally dodgy managers over the years. In fact too many to mention without raising blood pressure even higher.
But we’re still here, and this will pass as all the other crises did.
What really disappoints me is that we are just two or three players off a really competitive team in the top division.
We said the same about the 1970’s team and a great opportunity went begging.
We had clowns in charge then, and do now.
Yet we will survive and prosper.
Give the new guy a chance.
It’s what we do.

 

[Munich_Wolf]

And like I said above, the window isn't closed. I bet you we make signings before the window closes.

I expect we'll sell Nunes, Fabio and RAN and buy a couple of cheap Bournemouth castoffs...that's not a positive thing

 

[AndyY]

Yep. It was late when I was listening to it. He said decisions being made above Shi's head and Fosun too. Definitely back in China. I thought he said something about a £125m loss. Maybe underwriting it rather than writing off but something they are not prepared to do now. Certainly got the impression FFP, whilst something we still need to keep on eye on, was not the major reason for a tightening of purse strings.

And who is responsible for that £125M loss?
Jeff Shi, thats who.
And yet he is the one seemingly still with a job at Wolves.
“Unbelievable, Jeff”!!!!

I want a go on Margot Robbie but thems the breaks. He took the job to firstly save us from relegation, that was achieved, but the financial situation changed and he has to wait a year at best to be able to spend significant amounts. He could have used this season to cement his style and tactics, to provide the foundation and then pushed for the top 8 next season with some reinforcements. Or he walks away, that he seemingly wants to be paid off is a joke

Why is it always Margot Robbie? She seems to be the Mol Mix only choice in this type of analogy. Can't we come up with some new out of reach idealised sex symbols. I think I'm bored of Margot already.

I'm there mate, up the Gary

 

[Dorbelflunk]

The performances were frequently awful and rarely outstanding (count on one hand, being generous). He kept an underperforming team up, yeah, but let's not pretend it was pretty

 

[SevernWolf]

Well said T`imber! Some of us have known far worse times. If I were Jeff I would go out tomorrow and buy Alex Scott. What we save on Lopetegui and his huge team in wages will more than pay for Scott!!

I know you’re joking, but the lack of a manager seriously dents any chance of credible players joining Wolves before the end of the window.

Come on - where’s the official word or statement? Why keep it hanging like this if it’s done as so many are reporting?

 

[Redrockwanderer]

Probably worried about the backlash? That or sitting down with the players etc first?

That sums it up, Nuno was a lighthouse in a sea of ****e appointments by Fosun.
Without him, I'm not convinced we wouldn't still be a middling Championship club.

 

[Loojay]

Filming GON's video for the socials

Reusing Diego Costas wolf pets, I can see it now

Except he gets mauled

 

[wwbug]

He’s definitely not all this is down to Fosun not JL

Ii is never all down to one party. And yes - Fosun look to either have messed it up or been ruthless.

But JL has choices.

 

[Loojay]

Incidentally his acronym being GON doesn't bode well

**** Gary and **** Shi.

**** Gary and **** Shi.

I don't thing Gary deserves a **** Gary yet, at least let him have his first day

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

No, I saw Bournmouth under his watch. I know the kind of manager he is. He is ****. Our team deserves better.

Alex Neil
The new bloke at Leicester
Schumacher at Plymouth
Daniel Farke
The guy that’s just gone to Saints
Mark Robins
Michael Carrick

I’d take them all in preference to O’Neil
And they’re all managing in the Championship

 

[Darvo]

I’d loved to have been a fly on the wall for the compo negotiation.

[groundhogwolf]

From the Beeb article:

The club have known for sometime that Lopetegui, 56, wanted to quit Molineux before the new season started.

Talks held today over the Spaniard's exit from the club have been amicable.



If that's the case, surely the players would have been aware that this guy might not be here, so maybe we won't get the exodus some are predicting.

So on this basis the Jeff Shi letter was just spin and lies.

Mark Robins would be on my list too. Worked wonders under very difficult circumstances.

Be interesting to see what’s been agreed for compensation, will we have to wait for the accounts to come out to see that?

Jesus (not suggesting him) that's bleak. We've gone from shopping in Harrods to Poundland.

Julen Lopitegui in his meeting today

Jeff "Whats your name"
JL "Julen Lopitegui"
Jeff "Can you spell it"
JL "You can stick the job up your ****ing ****"

The gaging order they’ll put in will be key. Otherwise JL may tell the truth.

I really can’t see how they’re going to break this news. They must know it’s going to go down like a cup of cold sick and no blowing air up peoples backsides is going to make it better.
