wishywashy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Lopetegui is surely going to just give up and walk at some point. Percy in particular has been quite bluntly repeating that he's unhappy at the club, and you have to assume that there were promises made that probably aren't being met when he was talked out of leaving back in May.

theboyangel Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The Dog Heads are one of my tips for relegation and Lopetegui the first managerial casualty of the season They look to be in utter turmoil off the pitch and losing their better players without suitable replacements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 For some reason they were playing Luton in a friendly tonight at Molineux (must've forgot they're actually a premier league club now). 0-0 so I think that says it all for their prospects this season.

VillaChris Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Gap was 20 points last season, hopefully more this time as I fancy us to beat them home and away this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oishiiniku_uk Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 They're finally paying the price for an over-reliance on Jorge Mendes. I'd not appreciated until now the full extent of how many players have come via him directly or indirectly: Over two thirds of their signings since Fosun took over are either Gestifute clients or Mendes helped facilitate the deals. The quality of those offerings from Jorge have lessened over the years (Fabio Silva, Matheus Nunes and Guedes look particularly poor investments) and now that there's a new cash cow in the form of the Saudi Pro League I don't think Wolves will be getting preferred treatment from Mendes/Gestifute. Also, the fact that the owners of Wolves are saying there's no money to spend until next season must mean that their 22-23 accounts will show a big loss (60 million plus I would guess). They wouldn't be so afraid of FFP otherwise. Either that or they're looking to sell despite what they're saying publicly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Silva was the huge warning sign for me (ironically he's finally turning into a decent player). Porto (to which Mendes has close ties) were struggling financially and had a 30 million hole in their finances, then Wolves buy a completely average, untried 18 year old who'd only made 12 senior appearances for 32 million. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m amazed this wasn’t investigated - one of the most brazen examples of money laundering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
