I think that it is time for a shake up at the top, As a club we are quickly losing our identity and style of play. We have been served up drab rubbish for a couple of years now and simply play on the break.
I would look at bringing in a footballing director of football, someone who is given the remit to create an attacking team. And then use Mendes to put the players into this system together with the kids. Fosun need a footballing man at the top to give some stability, Hoddle, Mclaren, It simply doesn't work in this league with Thelwell.

I've been saying this for a very long time now, about a shake at the top! We have already lost credibility as a club because of all the porkies our leaders have spouted to our management. This has been made known to the rest of the football world, so trust and credibility have flown down the tubes.
During any conversation you would always be asking yourself is this the truth or just a pile of you know what! Nobody can work in that type of environment can they? Very big changes needed from the top down, preferably with people who do have football knowledge and are trusted with a good line of credibility! The new Manager/ coach has to be quality and given time to do the job and likely come with his trusted staff. Rant over!

Its incredible really that there is no one with a link to Wolverhampton that could do this, obviously we tried John richards some time ago but since then nobody comes to mind really. It won't happen but someone like Hoddle as DOF and paul Ince as coach means there is a connection.
But if we are going to go with the Mendes connection which of course we should, its not about his 10%. He has Ronaldo on the books do you think he needs the money, he wants to find some Costa's which is great. How successful were we before, Saville and co.
Think bigger picture Wolves fans, Fosun are fantastic for the long term future have some patience.

Personally, if we can't have Marco Silva I would rather we had Pardew or Moyes than Karanka! Just a personal choice! At least they both have a lot of experience at the right level! âš½ï¸ðŸ‘😉.

Eogg52, it's a little hard not to think it's about Mendes' 10% as that is his career and how he makes his living. No matter how you dress it up, it's a conflict of interests.
Ok, if you want Mendes involved, a slightly more palitable way would be to hire him as a consultant. That way he takes no cut of sales but maintains an income and has a responsibility to the club to do what is best for the club, not himself. As it stands he has no accountability.
So far he has found one good player. The rest have been poor, so I am not exactly shouting from the rooftops that this guy should be involved anyway.
With regards to the bigger picture, buying and selling players for a profit on a 12 monthly cycle may make money for Fosun but it does not build a squad and we will not achieve anything apart from being a cash cow for someone.

I think that we will know when the Costa position is established if he stays for a season under a new manager then I think we would all think differently.
How many players are actually clients of Mendes, I think its only two!

And the loan players?
16 May 2017 15:40:52
I would have thought that the four Portuguese signings were with Mendes at the very least.

When you check the signings out only three were under the Mendes banner. He also negotiated the Costa deal over the duration of his contract so that it wouldn't affect FFP.
The person who should go is the person who agreed the Gladon deal!
Thelwell
Director of Football :- Glenn Hoddle
Alan Curbishley
With a role to creating a playing style for the club and making sure the youngsters in the club progress.

Eogg52, I agree with you absolutely about Hoddle. I'd have him as Director of Football any day.
16 May 2017 19:17:45
And Hoddle with his links to Monaco too!
Have some courage fosun and go for it!
