Is this some sort of ridiculous April Fools day joke?!

May Fools Day. More chance Haaland signing for us .

Made up. Asking Roger Johnson to be director of football! It's not even made up well..

 

[Joshwolf218]

Leading on from the Twitter article if authentic I’m unsure as I took from Twitter, may be just bait

But here’s something interesting to read

Dorus de Vries, from professional footballer to sport consultant - Johan Cruyff Institute

We learn about the experience of Dorus de Vries, a former professional footballer with a successful 20-year career who, after graduating from his Master in Sport Management at Johan Cruyff Institute, became a sports consultant at a Dutch representation agency

johancruyffinstitute.com

He’s also got a masters

If true this is somewhat unsettling.

To say the very least!

 

[Pagey]

Would be more believable if it mentioned O'hara becoming head coach

 

[JOSWolf]

Someone needs to contact Spiers sharpish to confirm this is bull****!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

It’s not true. I subscribe to the athletic and just double checked Spiers last couple items.

Scary that such a nonsensical idea is considered feasible. Sums up the trust people have in Sellars.

 

[AndyWolves]

Oh my, this is hilarious. Clearly a wind-up

Thats alright then. Here's me worrying we havent got a we're doing.

This is a wind up, surely to god?

It's a badly written hoax.

Good Lord... some people will believe anything if its on the Internet !
Think before you type... seriously unbelievable.

 

[Darvo]

I don't think Fosun really care too much about whether wolves are in the PL or not. They've got the IP for the brand and are using it in eSports and wherever else they want. Wolves doesn't cost them any money to run and if wolves are relegated would it do that much damage to the eSports brand?

They probably care a lot more than you think…. for one good reason… Wolves are worth an awful lot more in the premier league than the championship

 

[Stourwolf]

I’d like to think the club already have a fairly solid idea of who is leaving and who is staying.

And for those that are leaving, a list of replacements or maybe even some deals wrapped up behind the scenes.

The last 3 seasons however don’t give me much faith this is happening. With a few exceptions (Sa being the main one), we are reactive rather than proactive in the market.

Rather than a gradual refreshing of the squad over recent seasons, we now face rebuilding the core of the squad this summer.

You would really hope they would have an idea, but Shi and sellars are absolutely clueless. Nothing would surprise me with the 2 clowns.
That’s my concern.

There's an attitude on here now where an awful lot of posters pounce on any negative stories and dismiss anything positive. Even ridiculous stories.

Absolutely.

To be fair this one deserved it. No one, but no one could believe Roger Johnson would be asked by WWFC to be director of football!

So remind me of the positive stories.

 

[Stoichkov]

The leadership didn't stop us bottling it repeatedly

ha ha or two 7th placed finishes, or european QF etc.

 

[Stoichkov]

what you have to ask yourself is...if you have 4 leaders as you say on the pitch at the same time.Why have we been lacking in motivation this last few months.?

you mean until 12 games ago? before that we were excelling

 

[Stoichkov]

So remind me of the positive stories.

jeez it's relentless.... how about being in the Prem for 4 seasons

we're doing okay as a club, calm down everyone. Big summer for Fosun, no doubt - but not everything is disastrous

 

[Rhoswolf]

As a match day attendee I think "excelling" is somewhat of a stretch.

 

[Stoichkov]

i don't and i go to all home games and 70% of away. before the arsenal games things were looking very good

but sure, comments like mine don't fit the agenda, so on you go

Frightening isn’t it!

I am struggling to see why everything is so doom and gloom. In the Summer we could lose 10 players that have played first team football for us this year (Ruddy, Saiss, Boly, Hoever, Marcal, Neves, Moutinho, Traore, Trincao, Hwang), replace them with 4 players and still massively improve the first team, with a decent 22 man squad.



Of those 4 - I think Guedes could be a swap with Adama and Neves could cover the Palhinha and Nico deals leaving just a centre back to find. It's hardly time to start sh*tt*ng yourselves.

Coiuld have posted the same last two failed summer windows, hopefully you're correct this year.

 

[rincewind]

So remind me of the positive stories.

Cone on Rhos, everything isn't rosey but you are old enough (like me?) to know it could be much, much worse. I know you care about the club and for yet another season the football has been mostly poor but its not all doom and gloom.
It's a big summer this year yes, but we still have some good players with others coming through. For what their worth most of the players linked look good (I know we won't sign any etc). We're going to finish top half again. Mendes is still on board (if you think that is positive).
It's hard to predict next season as so much is likely to change but the constant depression on here is why I rarely bother now.

Yep 70+ and counting been there and got the t-shirt, have no faith in the current owners or senior management, will be absoultely amazed if we finish top half next season, that said season ticket renewed as will be AST.

I have just been looking at West Ham who probably play in the formation we would be looking to embed, even though they are only 5 points above us, play a throw-back style and have had a similarly poor run in the League.

The key differences are the pace and power of Zouma, the two tanks in midfield plus the eye for goal of Bowen. Not much else I'd spend good money on changing in our team compared to theirs.



If we were to get Palhinha (6'3") and Nico (6'2") we would cover the Soucek and Rice elements. The Bowen goals would be covered by Guedes if he could hit the ground running or Neto if he could really kick on. Then it is about identifying a Zouma-esque centre back. Hardly earth shattering changes required.

 

[Cornwall Wolf]

Some info from Shaktar .. they are allowing David Neres to go to Benfica this is in payment of the outstanding balance they owe Benfica .. interest for Wolves is that he frees up Rafa Silva to leave who Wolves have a long standing interest in..
Also they are preparing for2/3 other players to leave including Pedrinho who I believe is bound for Wolves

 

[The Weasel]

I was thinking, what's the minimum we really need for the first team, who should we keep, what is the real recruitment task, and I came up with this:

.................................................Sa
Semedo.........New CB.............Kilman...........Jonny
....................New MF/Neves.......New MF
Chiquinho......................................................Neto
................................Podence
................................New CF


With cover provided by:

.................................Sondergaard
Hoever/Bolla....Mosquera.....Gomes.......Ait Nouri
..........................Cundle..........Shabani
New wide fwd....................................Hwang?
...................................Campbell?
.....................................Fabio

I mean, its clutching at straws a fair bit, but it assumes we lose/sell:

Ruddy/Saiss/Boly/Coady/Marcal/Neves/Moutinho/Dendonker/Traore/Trincao/Jimenez

We'd need 4 first team ready players, ideally with Premier League experience, and a backup forward (or two if we can offload Hwang).

We need Jorge to pull a blinder or we are in big trouble.

Imagine believing Roger Johnson is going to be involved?!?!! What next, Maierhoffer back as neck coach?

Or even the idiots who signed Hwang 4/6 months before they needed to, unbelievable I know.

I still cant believe all the hype that other clubs were supposed to be wanting to sign him in the last window.

Be good to see us sign Rafa Silva & Pedrinho for sure. Anything on any defenders?

Thank you as always

Winger room is looking a little crowded tbh, think we will more some on?

Is that Steven Seagal in midfield?
