Wolves Banter Archive May 15 2017
Use our rumours form to send us wolves transfer rumours.

Anybody else worried?
I don't pretend to know a lot unlike many who post on here but what I do know is karanka is no better than Lambert and is just a Mendes puppet.
Also all good football clubs are built on a solid footing. and by no means can that be said of wolves. no core of players and completely rudderless. it can only end one way.
16 May 2017 09:46:25
We need Thelwell and the backroom staff out as well, they have been here far to long and accept mediocrity. Onwards and definitely Upwards Fosun.
16 May 2017 11:02:33
It's the uncertainty for me. I just get used to someone, and they go. Wonder who or what I am supporting sometimes.
15 May 2017 22:48:05
This is my first post so be easy on me.
I think fosun are waiting until next week for premier league to finish.
Marco Silva to be announced new manager early next week, Paul Lambert to Norwich.
This is only my personal opinion.
16 May 2017 13:28:27
Silva probably likely to pick up a Premier job.
15 May 2017 20:13:05
Can't understand all this anti-Mendes stuff? He is an agent his job is to make money off transfers. Fact is he doesn't need Wolves to pay his bills he works with far larger clubs and much more expensive players.
The reality here is Fosun are not convinced by Lambert, Jeff probably can't understand a word he says either.
The football was dull and does not point to a successful season ahead under his tenure. Not saying he is all bad but I feel no great loss if he goes.
15 May 2017 20:34:24
Correct bebbsta, Mendes is an agent, and makes his money off transfers. Hence he should not be in charge of a clubs' transfers! Conflict of interest.
15 May 2017 20:37:35
Carefully what u wish for! If we get karanka his football was dreadfull at boro, at least lambert was playing our good youth players, giving them a chance, seams like fosun want quick return to the prem and there investment (so do we all) but they also want a yes man, think lambert should of been given the chance to integrate more of the youth and build a solid team around them.
15 May 2017 20:39:44
Agreed .
15 May 2017 20:42:25
Mendes is an idiot they say no player's bigger thn the club the Same applies to an agent or has he got a stake in the club.
15 May 2017 20:46:12
Seconded.
15 May 2017 21:07:56
When I said agreed I was agreeing with stattowolf .
15 May 2017 19:59:24
everyone needs to contact paul Richards he is the club rep if you email him or go on his bird sounding account I am not being sexist I just can't say name of website.
lets put pressure on the club. this club is our club and it will always be.
I saw dalrymple car parked up today nothing unusual about that I hear you say but I have feeling something is brewing just my opinion noneed to vent your spleen.
15 May 2017 19:24:28
What a weird situation we're in. Club acting as if nothing is wrong with pre-season friendlies announced today. Small matter of a manager/ head coach to sort out first Fosun. I know I'm just another sucker who fell for the rhetoric and renewed my season ticket but I would really appreciate some sort of update on what my money is treating me to next season. Almost feel like my ticket was missold - its like booking a 14-day holiday in the sun and ending up on a wet weekend in Bognor. Disappointing. Whilst I wasn't a massive PL fan, I did feel he deserved a chance with his own players and at least a period of stability. Beginning to doubt anything that comes out of Molineux at the moment, sad times.
15 May 2017 20:13:50
We'll be playing Bognor soon if Lambert stays!
15 May 2017 19:19:05
Maybe they should make Mendes the next manager then we can sack him in 6 months.
15 May 2017 18:24:33
Just heard Alex Ferguson coming out of retirement to manage wolves.
15 May 2017 18:22:23
On a different note,
BBC sport headlines., "West Brom to investigate crowd unrest"
Never thought I'd see the day. The words 'West Brom' and 'Crowd', in the same sentence 😂😂😂.
15 May 2017 20:15:02
It's alright Lowwolf - it's because Chelsea fans were in the home end making a crowd not because Sandwell have that many fans.
15 May 2017 20:48:18
Phew!
Thanks for clearing that up Statto. 👍🏼👍🏼.
15 May 2017 16:23:10
To win this league, you need the best manager ( head coach ) in the league or the best players with a really good manager.
I can think of at least 6 managers better than ours so at the moment even play offs next season looking tough. Depressed already.
15 May 2017 17:28:07
Naming them is easy getting them to come is another story . At the moment we are treating our head coach/ manager what ever his job title is poorly not that I am a big fan of his but this is sure to put a few managers off seeing how we have treated KJ and PL . And as for Zenga what sort of person looks at a CV and sees 13 jobs in 14 years and says this person will be good for us .
15 May 2017 08:44:23
So here is how I see I believe that Lambert was only ever a stop gap because he was the best of a bad bunch at that time. in that there wasn't much in the way of alternatives and we couldn't keep Walter Zenga any longer. they at that point had written the season offf as a learning curve and just needed someone to get us over the line and keep our championship survival. now there are more available he's on his way out the door.
15 May 2017 15:29:18
Let's face it, there has been no press release from the club so no-one knows if PL is staying or going. And we know less about the possible replacement selection, best just to wait for an official announcement which will put us all out of our misery, or maybe not.
15 May 2017 15:39:39
From where I'm standing Jeff Shi is a puppet controlled by the hierarchy in HQ back in China. How much longer will he want to put up with looking like an arse and an unbelievable at that? ⚽️👍😉.
15 May 2017 07:45:09
THis is how Mendes works. The multi method. When he gets involved with a club his method is to provide a number of players, the manager and sometimes even a new owner! Sometimes it works but it can leave a club with a load of turkeys on high wages. He also facilitates the outgoings from Benfica.
This would appear to be how enmeshed we are with this bloke and why Lambert doesn't hold the power in this relationship.
Fosun own 8% of the Mendes agency so transfer money flows back into Fosun (not Wolves) so who are they going to upset Mendes or Lambert.?
If we get a Mendes coach then I guess he will do as he is told.
Jeff Shi might agree with some of Lambert's approach but he is probably having his chain jerked from the motherland.
China isn't a democracy is it?
So we may enjoy success if it ever comes but the decent guys like Lambert and Jackett will be spit out every few months by owners who know nothing about football and want quick fixes.
15 May 2017 08:13:57
It's all about making them money and nothing else.
15 May 2017 15:13:28
Lol, we spent 27 million get costa for 13 sell 25 million when was the last time this club made money 'Doyle Johnson o'hara etc 3 years off Premier League money . were did that go. damm some are fans never never happy. it's their first year here and mendes make money for club all ready?
15 May 2017 17:59:16
How has Mendes made money for the club? Spent £27m and Costa has not been sold. If he goes for £25m (which is not guaranteed he will) that is still a £2m loss! Although it's a potential £4.5m profit for Mendes on agent fees for the sales of Costa (potentially twice) and Cav. Loss for Wolves, profit for Mendes.
15 May 2017 00:55:18
Best of luck Lambo.
An ok bloke, just never a Wolves manager.
At least we got a few goals from set pieces and corners. Paving the way for Wednesfield Wolf to take over as head coach. Put him in charge, lower the expectation levels and watch us go. I'm telling ya. (John Terry as assistant) . (Captain, leader, legend) Watch and learn, JT.

Well they are not running a charity are they? It's a business and they will want to put it on a proper business footing. Realising that they will have to invest before the books start to balance! ⚽️👍😉.
