Zatman Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Mendes has too many other interests that clubs wont want to piss him off. As good as Wolves have been they probably wont upset the big boys position for them to care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Don't know, I think the Chinese owners of both wolves and the agent can make a direct payment to the agent so wolves are getting players for less, like wise when they come to sell neves they can waive the £5-10m fee and add it to the transfer, again paying Mendes direct It won't make huge differences but probably gives them £20-30m more a season to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Wolves would've been done for FFP big time if they hadn't been promoted. But they did and it's no issue and fair play they've had as good a season as I thought they would in August. Now let's get up and have two good midlands teams in the top 10 instead of all battling relegation as happened in 10/11 for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Wolves lost at Southampton, and a Doghead is currently on the WM phone in moaning like they'd been relegated. After the season they've had!

The_Rev Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I've not been paying much attention to the Premier League this season but I'd assumed that Wolves were ten points clear at the top of the table going by the way their fans have been talking.

Farlz Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Said to some pals last week they would lose to Southampton. It was so obvious, they only ever show up for games against top 6 and are absolutely useless against everyone else. I really think their season has been massively overrated.

villa4europe Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think 1st season back what they've done should be applauded but at the same time I think the reality will set in that 75% of the league are actually pretty poor with lots of "big" teams stagnating (The likes of Everton are ripe for being overtaken, it's not the accomplishment that it seems) whilst at the same time as I said before the top 6 will be unassailable for them They look like they won't achieve what Burnley did last season despite a far higher budget and better squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them though isn't it. Imagine if we'd bought a proper striker instead of Heskey. Imagine if MON had a scout instead of just signing whoever played well against us. God, I've set myself off now. He did really well for us but we should have got into the Champions League under him. He did stuff like sign Zat Knight and kept moving Barry/Milner to LB/RB as his attacking sub. That was moronic. There are also moron fans though yes. That Wolves fan sounds like one to me. Stevie Wonder if funny though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 In was one of them moaning...I thought his stubbornness was starting to hold us back, his selections at RB, his under utilisation of the squad and use of subs etc he was collecting poor signings and then using them poorly, I was starting to see a ceiling for him and saw it as shit or bust, the bad decisions we have made since favour him big time Strangely though what he did in Moscow never bothered me in the slightest! I was really impressed with them at VP and had no confidence in us getting a result over there so the league game seemed more important Agree about the idiots getting though on the phone ins though, local radio doesn't have the luxury of talksports out there nonsense aimed at enraging fans of certain clubs, they can't bite the hand that feeds them so can't have wind up merchant presenters, instead they use other callers to do that leg work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not a criticism. Its that fans’ expectations change almost instantly. Rarely do fans think “well we’ll just enjoy where we are because we used to be shit” some fans just take it a bit far and get on the radio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) To be fair it does annoy me somewhat when people say we were moaning when we pushing for CL under MON. Like we didn't have any right to be there and should have just idly backed whatever MON did. Since then MON has gone on to do nothing of any note, he failed with Sunderland, Ireland and he is now failing at Forest. Shows that as a manager he was actually not anywhere near as good as the media were making him out to be. We had our best period of recent times under MON, this is true, but I still think he deserved a lot of criticism and left us in a terrible state. The football was dour a lot of the time, when he left we only had about three or four saleable assets which once they left meant we were on a hiding to nothing, he put very average players on big fat wages and never played them, and he failed to build a talented squad capable of competing on multiple fronts. You look at how we are under Smith and his modern way of thinking and playing the game and you realise just how backward Martin O'Neill actually was.
