Shi & Sellars

[Fenrir_]

Why on earth we would we cut links with Gestifute?

Because it's causing a problem, watch Saiss' interview

It’s also causing us to get players like Nunes,Neves and Moutinho.

 

[TheConcourse]

Mendes doesn’t have a gun to our head over players.

A good example is Carlos Vinicius. We needed a striker. Good history, stalled a little. Went to Fulham.

Nobody is telling me that Mendes tells us who we’re signing and who we aren’t. Absolutely ridiculous.

And no head coach that wants to work in the structure unless it's a Mendes yes man

It's been great, but has reached its limit of usefulness

As Saiss said, we're the only club that doesn't have a DoF, we have a connection to a super agent (and it's got us some bloody good players), but you have to ask why these coaches don't want the job of coaching these players

We need to walk on our own and not be having Gestifute hold our hands every transfer window. Mendes has too much influence here

No head coach wants the worlds biggest football agent on speed dial?

True....I'm glad we didn't get mendes yes man lopetugui....

"We have shortage of training staff at the moment." Don't you think, that maybe, just maybe, this should have been addressed in Plan B, C or whatever?

I guess we have a lack of coaching staff because a new coach would bring in his own team. So, we have to wait until the New Year. Hence the 'all hands to the pump' quote.

We still have to research these players, and they do, internally. They track players for months.

You can’t just punt £30m because Mendes says so - and we didn’t - on someone like Vitinha.

The club make the decision, and our boy Scotty is steering that bus.

I’m also not buying that Mendes tells us how many coaching staff we can have. We seem to be short there as well. Scott.

It's the coach on the agent's speed dial

Watch the interview, last half hour of it or so. If you watch that and still think it's all rosy being in bed with Mendes then you're living in cloud cuckoo land

But who else is there? It's only Lopetegui and maybe Jardim left as his clients that are attractive other than a return to Nuno. If a PL club's search for a head coach is limited to two people then they're in trouble

Anyone who's seen my posts about Lage over the past 10-12 months know how out of depth I thought he was. I've actually got a bit of sympathy with him in a sense, he had no say what so ever

 

[wwbug]

Mendes should support, not control.

 

[old wittonian]

I believe Marcelo Gallardo's contract expires 31 December 2022. Coincidence ?

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

I guess that would depend on what he was doing.

IF it’s relying data then I can understand him being where he’s sat. If you want to use the photo that someone posted then he’s sat by people in club colours with laptops.

I just find the whole thing weird with people jumping to conclusions. We don’t know either way and I honestly wouldn’t have expected the club to say what his involvement was one way or another.

For me, it was telling that Davis mentioned they were looking to bring in more coaching experience. That suggests they need more help in some capacity, what that is I have no idea. Also Edwards was interviewed, but Percy, who’s usually reliable, suggested a new coaching set up.

If someone is making substitutes then we should know who it is.

 

[SakosRightFoot]

Alternatively if it’s not secret why isn’t he in the dugout with the other coaches?

Most clubs have someone in the stands. Bruno had his brother, Nuno had that Ian Cathro guy.

Yep pure coincidence as there is no way in hell he would come here given the state we are in.

 

[DrinkingLAGELAGELAGE]

Not true mate. Thelwell was still around at that point. Sellars got jacked up as a cheap, malleable, replacement when Thelwell left at the height of the covid pandemic he was so determined to get away from the total ****ing ****show Shi was creating

Ahh thanks!

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

It will be interesting if it becomes toxic tomorrow as the venom is likely to be directed at Shi and Sellars. Not sure how they will react or for that matter Guo back in China. They’ve not experienced a truly toxic Molineux.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I really don't buy most of the stuff on here. Where is this line of brilliant coaches that we could get if it weren't for Mendes, shall we pop down the road and see if they're lined up outside the Trinity? Yes we've got a few duds from his stable, but also some gems who we couldn't have dreamed of. If Neves goes to Barca (God forbid) should we be cursing Mendes or thanking the Lord we had him at all? I would like to think we'd get more than some of the figures mentioned though.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Jacqui Oatley the latest journalist to offer a very strong defence of Sellars on Twitter.

Quite sad and concerning that they’re all following what the club say, unless we’re supposed to believe they all have the exact same strong opinion.

This is something that needs to be addressed.

Why has the man partly leading the managerial search decided to put himself in a great position of power?

Why has someone who has not coached for years now got a role coaching Premier League players?

Who is exactly making the subs in a game? There shouldn’t be joint decisions or a committee. Of course you get advice from coaches but who is actually calling the shots?

Why did Wolves not once mention that Sellars is involved in training/coaching? If there’s nothing wrong with it then surely you’d tell people.

Is this why there’s no pre-match training videos before games like there used to be. Do we presume Sellars is having a much bigger influence than Davis?

Unfortunately the journalists are backing down so we’ll have to pretend that it’s normal for a technical director to effectively make himself manager for another few months.

But she conveniently lays all the blame at the feet of Mendes and his right hand man Cardoso.
Now I do think questions could be asked about the leadership structure at Wolves.
But I don't think Mendes can be blamed for this:
- Having no Plan B in our manager search
- Approaching a manager with minimal experience and to then have no plan when he rejected
- To turn down decent managers like Martins and Svensson
- To appoint an interim coach for the next 7-8 games
- To have a Technical Director with zero managerial experience on senior level have a say on match days

I do think Sellars now becomes a scapegoat for all our problems which isn't fair. I certainly don't think he calls all the shots either. Letting Adama go on loan certainly wasn't, yet he had to be the one defending it in the press, appearing a fool in the process.

But that doesn't mean he's not part of the problem or have no responsibility for mistakes. Of course he does and his friends in the press should realise that ask appropriate questions, rather than writing endorsements.

 

[Irish_Wolf]

These are the guys who got rid of Saiss, Donks and Coady, paid big bucks for Guedes then sacks the manager for doing poorly?

[Perton Wolf]

**** off Shi and take your poodle with you

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

As if they couldn't **** it up anymore these last two games have shown why even that statement about Davis was a complete joke!

****ing hopeless!

 

[Tring Wolf]

Deserve all the stick they are going to get for not being ready on or off the pitch for two sets of fixtures we had to be taking points from.

 

[Stafford]

Grow some balls south Bank. It's Shi.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Indeed, Shi makes the decisions. He's the clown.

 

[wolf of sedgley]

Shi ain’t gonna sack himself. Slagging off Sellars is probably has a better chance of inducing change.

 

[Stafford]

Shi ain’t gonna sack himself. Slagging off Sellars is probably has a better chance of inducing change.

Nothing changes then

 

[Muscat]

Sack Sellers so we can backtrack on this "no outstanding candidates" line and get someone in who isn't a League 2 manager.

 

[Perton Wolf]

He's just his poodle, doesn't have any power so what's the point?

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

GTFO of our club, you useless shower of ********s. And that Sellars is ex-Notlob too, fuming.

 

[goldfish]

Can't help but think that Sellers is doing his job by being the target for vitriol, rather than Shi.

 

[wolf of sedgley]

Nothing changes then

At this point we need Shi to get a manager in and pray it works out. There is no other option that could keep us up.

 

[Ned]

Shi deserves more flak than Sellars, imo.

 

[JOSWolf]

Get out of our club!

 

[marrs-guitar]

Shi should fall on his sword now.

Even if Fosun just fly in a rank amateur who has little to no clue about the sport, he'd still manage to recognise that the team desperately needs a professional well-qualified head coach in ASAP.

Didn't see Sellars today so I assume Adrian_Monk took him out.
