Wolves banter 2

04 May 2024 17:44:00
Craig PoorSon, hang your head in shame. That was never a penalty.

It's clear that VAR are useless.

04 May 2024 18:27:51
Don't understand. Why foden hasn't been booked. He goes whining to Dawson every time there's a foul etc. Even simulating a card, both that and the first one he wasn't going to give till foden opened his big gob, must be taught in to them
Cheating lot
Let's face it vars designed for top teams anyway
Might as well be in championship
Would enjoy it more

04 May 2024 18:35:19
The second pen that was clear pen gets scrutised over and over, how do VAR function? We're not at the races now and I fear for the 2nd half. A few hotheads, understandably, but we don't need red cards.

04 May 2024 18:46:15
Jas it’s not var it’s ———- Attwell again!

04 May 2024 19:07:19
Pawson has basically told the Wolves players that he's going to give Man City all the decisions and therefore Wolves players won't commit to tackling because they'll be penalised.

04 May 2024 19:19:24
No hard feelings Citeh but when their day of judgement comes I hope their punishment is MASSIVE!

04 May 2024 22:18:25
Hear hear vintage
Can't come soon enough, and do you know, I think pep knows it's coming, should be put into, national league

06 May 2024 09:30:56
Hi Guys,
It would be great news if City, Chelsea etc were severely punished. Titles removed, relegated, whatever is deemed fit for their crimes, but I honestly don't believe it will happen. They have too much money and consequently power to influence the PL/FA and other competitions. Let's see, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for anything more than a rap on the knuckles, 'don't do it again' and maybe a minor points deduction, which I suppose might stop them winning at least the PL again. The sooner these teams join the super league the better. Get rid and try and bring some normality back to our game.

04 May 2024 14:50:15
My work colleagues will be gutted.
Birmingham relegated to league 1.

Leeds Southampton Norwich WBA.

Prefer Norwich to win playoffs.

Leicester, Ipswich.?
We'll be playing next season.

04 May 2024 15:29:02
I'd prefer Norwich Phil, we need to wear our change straps for good reasons. Seriously Southampton seem the the team at the moment but who knows? As long as the tesco lot stay where they are.

04 May 2024 16:13:40
Southampton for me appear to be the team most likely.

04 May 2024 13:00:46
Feeling confident today as we seem to do well against attack minded teams, i've gone for 2-1 to Wolves, Jaoa gomes first scorer, 3+ corners each half, 40+ booking points at 90/1

04 May 2024 13:19:51
Done my usual 3-1 Wolves win @150/1

Wolves to win 3-1 and Cunha 1st scorer @1500/1

04 May 2024 13:38:19
I kind of share your optimism Rated but I'm worried about our organisation at the back without Dawson, city could cut us to bits like the proverbial knife and butter. We contained them well at home, wether we can do that tonight is to be seen. But I'm going 2-1 as well, coming back from 1 down. Don't care who scores but as always, hope your bet comes off.

04 May 2024 14:45:58
Imo our best bet is City having a player sent off we scoring from resulting penalty.

0-1 to wolves.

04 May 2024 15:16:33
Not as confident as you guys, I reckon City will want to put the title to bed and will be up for this match taking no prisoners.

04 May 2024 15:37:34
I have the WWE live event to wind down to after the match if it all goes pear shaped lol.

04 May 2024 08:17:15
Adebay from Luton worth a punt?

04 May 2024 12:05:21
I think so.

04 May 2024 07:39:24
{Ed's Note - Seano_ has posted a new article entitled, What Liverpool FC Should Do

03 May 2024 15:51:27
Bellegarde, Neto and S.Bueno are all back in full training. Noha getting closer too.

03 May 2024 19:08:18
Is Doyler able to play tomorrow given he's a permanent wolf now? Or do the same rules apply until end of season?

03 May 2024 19:38:27
Officially a wolves player 1st July so presumably not available tomorrow

{Ed007's Note - If the guy has been on loan to you this season and fit there's no reason he isn't available mate, that just means that on the 1st of July he becomes a permanent signing for you as you can't register a player outside a window - unless he was a free agent at the end of the previous window - and the earliest you can register a player is the 1st of July.
Technically he is still on loan to you and that loan contract won't technically end until June 30th.}

03 May 2024 19:52:40
I read that he will sign permanently on July 1st. So I’m guessing he won’t be eligible for tomorrow.

04 May 2024 13:01:14
I don't think Doyle can play today.

03 May 2024 09:31:32
Well you know what day it is tomorrow?

Lostcity/Abbey

If Luke could hit a target of only a couple of metres then we can win.

MAY THE 4TH BE with US.

Lol.

03 May 2024 10:36:34
It’s only the third today

03 May 2024 12:05:13
I know that starwars day tomorrow when we play man City what I'm on about in post.

03 May 2024 13:00:40
Use the force Phil.

03 May 2024 13:38:31
Mis read your post Phil

03 May 2024 16:43:32
No worries Halftimepie lol I'm not very good at social media.

Jas the force is strong 💪.

Recommendation the curry/food in the pheasant Wednesfield is banging.

Typing waiting for our food to come.

Once in a football ground far away
The old gold or red change
Take on the blue moon
And another win
We pray
WWFC.

2-1 wolves with Daft VARder giving us something of a surprise.
A win will it be then?

Nice one Phil.

04 May 2024 04:28:08
Ha ha brill Abbey 😀
May the 4th be with you.

03 May 2024 00:32:09
So can Tommy play this weekend or not?

03 May 2024 09:22:12
No he can't.

03 May 2024 10:36:13
Thankfully the club have taken up the option of signing him permanently, a great piece of business for £5M.

03 May 2024 12:14:36
GIMME GIMME A GINGER FROM CITY! FWAW P.S. What a bargain!

03 May 2024 15:30:49
That has cheered me up, after a stuttering end to this season. Mind you, at the start I prayed for survival with not a lot of confidence. So well done GON and his team for showing what hard work and a bit of belief can do. Some players have shone, with a few additions we do have something to build on. I am assuming that Neto may go, but with his injury record he is a gamble for any purchaser, and we cannot create a team dependant on him.

02 May 2024 07:39:22
{Ed's Note - Dillinger has posted a new article entitled, POTENTIAL EPL SIGNINGS FOR LEEDS UNITED

01 May 2024 16:42:17
Nothing surprises me regarding Wolves. Manchester City 0 Wolves 1.

01 May 2024 19:27:44
Here's hoping lostcity, it'd take some doing though with available squad we've got.
But we've got to believe.

02 May 2024 06:28:55
3 games to go.let's hope for positive performances as the season comes to an end.
A miracle season last year and another one this season.
All credit to Hobbs and O'Neil.
I think we are all more interested how Mr Guangchang sets the Club Agenda for next season.
2 thoughts: Sack our incompetent CEO and appoint someone with
commercial clout who can build our revenue through
decent Sponsorships and/or Partnerships
Allow Hobbs and O'Neil to have complete control over
all footballing matters

02 May 2024 07:22:04
Rugeley, I take it you're talking about Jeff Shi being incompetent.

Is this the same Jeff Shi who appointed Nuno, signed off the paperwork for all the players (good and bad) since Fosun bought us. The same Jeff Shi that has grown our brand in Asia. Through the music world. The same Jeff Shi who oversaw two 7th place finishes and a European adventure.

Or do you just want to focus on the negatives.

Every single club has made mistakes.
Man City made one this season when signing Mattheus Nunes, but you don't give Shi any credit for that sale or for negotiating a deal worth up to £42m for MGW.

02 May 2024 09:52:06
Jas, this is a road you and I have been down before. We both have our views which see history differently and where the credit sits with some of your points. That is fine.
One question though, in February it was announced that Wolves were looking for circa $100 million from Investors to develop the Club.
Have I missed an update from the CEO?

02 May 2024 10:26:54
No you haven't because it was Guo who was looking for this investment not Jeff Shi.

02 May 2024 14:02:22
Really? Isn't Shi theoretically the Head of Wolves?
Maybe you are right, he is also deemed incapable of Commercial responsibilities.

02 May 2024 18:42:57
I think you're referring to the article where Fosun were looking for additional investment for the Sporting arm of the company. This includes Wolverhampton Wanderers FC (which Shi is CEO of) which you correctly state, but also the Esports department which Shi doesn't oversee. But saying that, I think the CEO of Man City is doing a pathetic job. I mean he authorised the signing of Nunes, Angelina and Cancelo. Same at Chelsea all them years ago when the CEO sold De Bruyne and Salah. Useless.

03 May 2024 09:57:54
It's very unfortunate/wounding/rubbish/
terrible/
However you put it that Silva is a flop.
But blaming Shi to the extent you do Rugeley can only make it worse for you.
Accept nothing can be done as time machines don't exsist and move on I think.

Re I too want good performances inmour last 3 games.

3 very tough games.
Hope for you Rugeley/Jas and all home support you witness last home game with victory.

03 May 2024 10:20:19
Hi Phil, I have articulated my views which are well documented.
The most damming evidence I guess are the interviews with two well respected players, Coady and Sass, plus one ex-manager's very public views.
Enough said.
ps
Let's hope for 3 good team performances before the summer break!

03 May 2024 11:59:57
Hi Rugeley,
Fair enough pal,
Next season I'm very very hopeful we'll kick on.
And yes sure let's hope we put out 3 good performances.
COTW

03 May 2024 13:02:33
Rugeley, I must have missed what Coady and Saiss said about Shi. Also which manager was it?

03 May 2024 16:14:18
Jas M : You can't really compare our CEO to Clubs that have money to burn and have justified it by winning trophy after tropy both at home throughout Europe and indeed the World, we're told our club has to be self funding so therefore mistakes have to be few and far between, they haven't been, we've seen players we really needed to keep having to be sold, given away and let contracts run down while at the same time spend vast amounts on players that will never be Premier League Players.

The two seventh place finishes under Nuno were before they decided to start selling his players from under him, are in the past and will never be repeated with our present owners unless there are major changes in the running of the Club. Rolling out the excuses can't go on, all Clubs have injuries, we only have a smaall squad, when Dawson's fit, when Neto's fit, when we have a striker, we are supposedly an established Premier League Club in actual fact we are no further forward and in no better position than Leicester, Ipswich or whoever else is promoted, someone has to be held responsible, look no further than our CEO.

04 May 2024 07:31:54
Jas, several sources including Talk Sport.
Coady: ""I will be honest with you, pre-season at Wolves was tough. For five or six years I’ve played every minute, I've made sure I’ve been fit and ready and it was the same in pre-season, but as footballers you get a little bit of a vibe, like something is not right.
"I was feeling things in training. Listen, I love that Club, I have done for seven years, it’s a very special club, but I could feel things, I could feel something was wrong at the top".
Saiss: Wanted to stay at Wolves, and Bruno Lage was also keen for him to extend his stay.
The straight-talking star said: “When I got the offer from the Club, I just feel like it was a ******* disrespect And I’m not talk about numbers, I’m not talking about money."
He is quoted how he loved the Club, but he was very critical of the Board (That is Shi, as the other 2 board members are passive)
Lopetequi: Wolves head coach Julen Lopetegui has suggested he was misled over the club’s summer transfer plans.
Lopetegui emerged from a meeting with Jeff Shi, the chairman, admitting concerns over Financial Fair Play rules have altered the spending budget from what he first been told.
“I have had that meeting and I know now there are some Financial Fair Play problems that I didn’t know before, ” said Lopetegui, 56

Hope that helps.

04 May 2024 08:35:14
The Lopetegui one I can understand but at the end if the day, Shi's decision to sell our players was vindicated. The way it happened could have been handled better I agree. Regarding Coady, it was Lage who wanted him out, likewise Saiss.

Yes, Shi has made mistakes, but so has every other CEO, hence my post mentioning Man City and Chelsea. But remember where we were when he was first appointed.

We could still have Jez Moxey.
