Happy to send him something but he will have his out of office onBig question is - Will Steve Madely get credit as a modern day prophet(Or a journalist with actual indsight) having released that preplanned article on Scott signing for Wolves too early (by mistake), IF Scott actually do sign?
Send him his P45!!!
No one is 100% correct because things obviously change outside of control. He’s a local football agent and pal of mine. He’s close to the club as he looks after several youth players, granted not as close as when Thelwell was there who was his very close mate. This hasn’t come from out the club but from another agent he knows (it’s a very closed knit community). He’s been right on loads of things over the years
As I say, it was told to me in good faith and he’s a wolves fan himself (hence why he asks the right people the right questions) but like most things it’s subject to change. This is of No great shock to anyone but he’s told me for a good couple of months that things behind the scenes at wolves is chaotic at the moment. For obvious reasons I can’t name names but he looks after several young British lads at wolves who’ve had lots of loan interest and the club have agreed them only to withdraw them due to squad shape currently. I went for a beer with him last weekend and he was saying how he doesn’t know how Hobbs hasn’t had a heart attack with the sheer amount of work he does.Fair. Thanks for the measured answer. Let's hope he and his mate have it right on this one too, it has much further reaching ramifications if we don't manage to get a player like Alex Scott through the door
To be fair in the letter he said “less new signings” not no new signings.
Yeah I know, it would just seem odd to release that and then go and sign someone for £20m+ the next day, imo.
unless its a message to brizzle to stop ****ing about with the fee/payment structure
I agree. Would rather get three in the Elvedi range than one in the Scott range.
I think the letter had a two fold position. 1) to obviously dampen fan’s expectations as well as saying something as he’d been criticised for saying nowt 2) an open message to the football world that we have limited budget to try and push deals over the line.
Maybe, we'll see! I hope you're right. I just don't think he would have released that statement at all if we were on the cusp of signing one of our main targets for £20m, but I of course hope I am wrong.
Henderson is still injured. Plus United want the fee paid in full by Jan!!!!!
Forest are in trouble next season if they don’t get in a quality keeper.
Not the first time the media have come out with this, no Smokey without fire
Be nice to see them go down.
Own Opinion he will go if we have no signings
I certainly don't see JL sacrificing his reputation to save Jeff Shi's face (or other parts of his anatomy, lol).
He’s openly said in that video with his Spanish media darling that players currently have need help
im not laughing at you at all, i’m not that sort of person.
Wouldn't walking also damage his reputation? Couldn't see out even a year in his lucrative contract because he didn't get what he wanted?
Maybe Tom Heaton?
He's only 19, unlikely to walk into the first team.
Said exactly this a few days ago.
Who is Scott hand?
There is practically no precedent for a manager quitting on the eve of a new season because he didn't get what he wanted in the transfer market. Give his propensity for whinging to the media, Lopetegui will just moan about it in every press conference in the same Conte and Rodgers did last season.
Other than Hoddle, which was 2 weeks before I think or was that when Mick was appointed. Just remember us being up the creek as SJH and Jez had done one of their no money routines and sold Lescott.
I agree. My wife has been moaning about my behaviour for years and she hasn't left yet.
You’ve got to try harder
Neither precedent you quote exactly fills me with joy and happiness...
Could see Scott in the role Hwang played against Luton. Both footed, presses really well, but a bit more composed on the ball. Nunes on the right and Scott on the left would give us great balance.
