Yeah... I'd thought if it were common knowledge Lopetegui applied for the Spurs job in the Summer, quite the juicy story I'd say, there'd be at least one journalist willing to break it long before now. Inclined to give this the Karl Pilkington treatment, tbh.
You'd be absolutely correct.
He'd chuck his toys out the pram when those clubs can't spend 100m every window tho.
His interview was an exclusive for the Athletic with a recently departed PL coach. I imagine a bunch of media approached him for an interview before the one. As I said before, nothing in that interview hadn’t already been reported or stated by Hobbs, except for the tears and wolf comments, with have become defacto standard for recent departures from Wolves. The interview was mostly about Wolves.
If you want us all to stick our heads in the ground and forget he was our coach, then you’re going to get very frustrated. How many threads and posts on this forum about Nuno after he left? How many about Mick? Jesus, we have mentions of Saunders and Hoddle in recent days. One thing is certain though. Any mention of Lopetegui will trigger your usual rants. Maybe I should start a new thread - What did Lopetegui do to **** Stourport Wolf off?
Always enjoy your comments and respect your thoughts but can’t move myself away, at this stage, the thought that this started with Fosun way above Shi. That’s not to say that our very poor transfer investments very much sit at his door…UTW
Well he did when the gravy train dried up at sevilla. He just waited to be sacked instead of knuckling down and using what he had. First sign of trouble with us, and leaves instead of putting a fight up. He just thinks he's in the elite, like mouriniho and conte who just keep complaining about lack of signings to take blame away from themselves.
Believe whatever you want. He’s a master of media manipulation, has agents and journalists in his back pocket to deliver his preferred narrative. Take a few minutes to research how he did the same in Span with Seville. Better still do what the lines of Ryan do by networking with the media instead of waiting on the news headlines.
Yeah I see your point of view. I'ts just I can't give any sympathy for someone who has walked out on our beloved club, whether he was lied to or not. I don't buy how he could think a club like ours would be able to spend massive every window. Also maybe we were thinking twice about giving someone who thought cunha was worth 50m any more money.
Alright Ryan, get off your burner.
have you ever considered you MIGHT be wrong, or not know all of the facts?
Yeah basically it's been a shambles on all fronts. Ultimately I don't think we've got good value on the expensive players which has got us to this point. The thing that got me with jl, was that he was making out we were really uncompetitive after the sales, but other than neves at the time the sales were players he never used anyway. And The performances at rennes and man u proved we were still decent despite the squad pruning.
On Lop calling to say he's available for Spurs?
So he's a master of media manipulation and the secret is to find out the truth by networking the media?
Unfortunately this whole thread has descended on both sides to assigning motivations to all parties, when in reality none of us can ever know what happened and what their thoughts and feelings were, it is all conjecture and maybe we should all let it lie. It's history now, let's all hope GON can turn it around.
The blokes an absolute blagger at best, least on this subject.
You are of course forgetting that Nuno walked away from our beloved club due to disagreements with Shi, I'd still give him sympathy and have him back!!!
Would you not sack Gary for continuing to disparage the players and the culture in the media, no?
Lopetegui was given money , a lot of money , in the window after the world cup...we were desperate for a goalscorer,,he wasted millions of fosuns money on cuhna gomes sarabia...are you blaming fosun for that .
