Nuno?!

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

SSN breaking news, his long term future is in doubt? Erm wtf?

 

[RosehillWolf]

Just switched on and going across bottom of screen is “ Nuno Espirito’s future in doubt at Wolves “ “ contract expires end of next season and no immediate plans for talks “
WTF ???

 

[RosehillWolf]

Lol. You beat me to it. Mods please delete my version

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

It’s fine though as VAR was discussed in depth at the Fans Parliament meeting.

 

[S G Wolves]

Just seen wtf is going on. What did he say!!!!!

 

[Netherton Wolf]

WTF ???

Not being ITK, how long before a contract expires would you be expected to be offered a new one??

 

[Kcrusader]

Load of nonesense, being stirred up by the media circus.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Just seen wtf is going on. What did he say!!!!!

I have no idea, just waiting for the break to finish to see what it’s all about.

 

[Wolf in the sun]

SSN breaking news, his long term future is in doubt? Erm wtf?

Feels like sky are trying to pick at quotes made in his interview. He did say wolves are his obsession but a longer contract is not down to him but also said he is fully commited to wolves and pointed out how many people moved to the uk in support of this project...over to u fosun

 

[rincewind]

Caught the tail end of this, c/w breaking news ticker tape. Only I couldn't see how it was breaking news. It seemed to be speculation based around his contract expiring in 18 months and no immediate plans to discuss it. Unless Sky are aware of something else.
It could be that Nuno has suggested he's off whatever happens. Equally he and the club might be comfortable they will sort things over the next few months.
Very odd story though.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Well they’ve gone to the golf and then super league.

Ticker updated to say his contract expires end of next season and no extension talks are planned in the immediate future? Bit random for a Thursday night?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Didn't sound like a big deal to me, reporter asking leading questions.

 

[OC11]

Absolutely nothing in it. Talks will be left until the summer. Doesn’t expire until the end of next season. Ridiculous from Sky.

 

[Dreadlock Holiday]

This is no different to any other negotiation.
Not exactly brinkmanship, but both parties want the best for themselves, Wolves and Nuno..... Usual Sky sports making it up as they go along while things are quiet.

 

[S G Wolves]

Did you see all of it?

 

[DDPPwolf313]

I'd imagine this is why Nuno dislikes pressers so much. A few honest insightful answers completely spun into a bull**** headline. Sky are a shambles these days

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Load of dramatic nonsense. Tim Nash and Joe Edwards both wrote about it earlier with a completely different spin. As said above, this is why Nuno doesn't like dealing with the press. Indeed, Nuno said the club was "his life and obsession."
Joe Edwards on Twitter

 

[sc91]

Well here comes another 50 pages of turd nonsense.

 

[Pagey]

Doesn't it end, the end of next season?

Same story (with less exciteable headline) just released by BBC Sport and E&S.

It's obviously been 'held back' for morning papers, so expect to see more alarmist headlines then. National paper writers trying to find exciting headline as preview for tomorrow's game.

Anything that attracts Man Utd / Arsenal audience is to be considered fair game in the world of clickbait rags. Let's see if John Percy says anything.

I'm sure Nuno is looking for a new deal soon and we're about to see colour of Fosun's money (eg stadium, summer spending, hanging on to players etc) but this is pretty scummy on the eve of a game. Not unexpected from tabloids though.

Anyway if there was something in it, Jeff will step in.....

 

[Nige100]

Talking about it on Talksport now. Suggesting agent talk to alert Man Utd. Non story right now says Cundy but no smoke without fire! Summer this will explode unless contract signed before then.

Sky: Nuno Espirito Santo relaxed about Wolves future despite no contract talks planned

BBC: Nuno Espirito Santo: Wolves boss has had 'no proposal' over new contract

Slow news day. No need to negotiate mid-season and cause unnecessary distractions. Wait till the summer.

 

[inaglasshouse]

I'm pleased he has 18 months left and he is committed to another season. I believe Nuno is a very honest and reliable man, I don't think his head will be turned because he is only focused on the job in hand, even in the summer.
I'm sure Fosun will offer a new deal in due course and Nuno will consider it, even then if he doesn't sign I still don't think he will leave. He has his boys at the club and he's not just going to f it all off and reboot at another club.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Sky are fishing, don't bite or give them any credence or attention. Just another attempt to make up a headline to unsettle and get people to tune in. Ignore them and they can't have any impact on us, start flapping and they win

If anything Nuno's comments to Edwards strengthens his position with us, as we know now he's not turned down any offers from the club. The status quo is no different to yesterday other than that, and we can fully expect it all to be sorted out at the end of the season

He's committed, he's not thinking about anything else, his life and obsession as he says and we have every reason to believe that this is the case. He only signed his contract last season, he'll sign a new one for next season

'Nuno's future in doubt' honestly it's trash reporting as usual from Sky

 

[siwolf80]

Sky doing what Sky do.

1st 7-10 days of the transfer window they were trying to sell Maddison to Man Utd.

Slow news day, ask about a contract that has 18 months to run, the reply is no discussions yet, let run a story.

Listen to the whole interview and reply is paints a different story.

 

[GateWolf]

Nothing more than Sky Sports saying look at us rather than than the wolves game on BT Sports tomorrow in my view

 

[Howlin’ Wolf]

Just watching Sky Sports News now. Some pretentious know it all making it up journo Anton Toloui obviously from the Jim White school of knowin flip all making up *******s because Nuno hasn’t signed a new contract even though he’s signed up until next year. Jeez. Wolves making headline news must mean it’s a desperately quiet in Sky News Land.

 

[WW1963]

He'll sign a four year extension in the summer.

 

[Tony]

All the people who attracted him to the club have gone. He'll go. No mates left!

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Sky just gets worse
Not even newsworthy

 

[Fenrir_]

Nuno saying a little more than normal has caused all kinds of pants mess!!

At worst I see this as pushing for a new deal. As he says, lots of people changed theirs and their families' lives, moving from Portugal to take on this project, getting extended contracts gives them all some security and clarity on their futures

 

[freezin]

I'm fairly relaxed about this.

Nuno knows that opportunities for carte blanche in football are few and far between.
He's got that here and the results speak for themselves. We're in a great marriage, and we're still getting regular sexy action.
The kids are happy and their future looks bright.
I see no reason for talk of divorce.

 

[Shergar]

Nuno’s not bothered he knows that starting from last season his performance related pay scale immediately put him in the top bracket (top 5) of remuneration for EPL managers. and there is no reason why Fosun won’t do it again in a new contract.

 

[Dreadlock Holiday]

The only thing that would cause Nuno to leave is a massive rift between the direction / management of Nunos ideology and that of FOSUN.

Our rise has been meteoric, far ahead of schedule and so unexpected it's left the usual pundits so baffled they refuse to acknowledge our existence.

Nuno has nothing to gain and everything to lose by leaving the Wolves project unfinished. It's moulded in his image, i'd go as far as to say as much as NES speaks about our identity, it is his identity. To walk away would be akin to him changing his name to Jeremy, shaving his beard and wearing a dress.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Did you see all of it?

No I didn't, so maybe jumping the gun

 

[Dreadlock Holiday]

Cross posting this as there are two threads on the same subject

Good luck with the next interview/ press conference with Nuno Anton and Sky Sports! Absolute shambles and disgrace by Sky Sports tonight.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Blimey, Wolves in the Sports News - who'd have thought it?!
