What we thinking ?

 

Parky out or give him next season?

 

I'm not convinced. Just can't see how he will progress us. With or without funds.

 

Anyone for the country bumpkin Holloway?

 

Don't like the bloke but he's certainly a better manager than parky.

Also isn't some mega agent involved in the ownership of the club and has been able to attract his clients to wolves such as that Neves lad?

 

Jorge Mendes, who is apparently one of these "Super Agents" - I think he has Cristiano Ronaldo as one of his clients

don't be a pillock, super agent works for bwfc

In fairness Derby were falling just short for a long time, not just last season!

 

i know. thats why i wrote: However, if Stoke turn in to a Derby ie always falling short

 

 

correct they spent a fair packet but also got 12m for afobe back.

 

But that takes their spending since the new owners came in to nearly £60M. In a season and a half. How many seasons would you have to total up for us to get to 60M? 20?

I’m not on about us, just making comment that derby and wolves have spent very similar and wolves have the golden egg now, derby on the other hand have a big wage bill to contend

Yep. Its a huge risk spending to go up. For lots of reasons. Still crazy how much Wolves spent, in a season and a half they spent enough money to buy 3 or 4 championship clubs outright combined!

Mendes works the market very cleverly he has a huge number of players under his wing, particularly Portuguese players. In his view, if they are sat at clubs for more than 2-3 years they arent making him any money.

 

When Neville went in to Valencia Mendes was tied in there with that Peter Lim. So the players on his books (from Porto, Benfica etc) were loaned to Valencia with the condition that they bought them for over inflated costs the season after if it proved a success. Thats how Rodrigo ended up there.

 

if it doesnt work they go somewhere else.

 

same prinicple at Wolves albeit slightly different as i think they commited to the fees there and then which a large portion goes back in to the club anyway via Mendes. If Wolves hadnt of gone up those players wouldve been off pretty sharpish

totally agree, also at the other end Birmingham invest 17m and stay up by 5 points its crazy

Spending money doesn't guarantee success, but it greatly increases the prospect of success.

With every penny spent the sense of satisfaction reduces ever so slightly.

I'll go with that. At the moment quite happy with ken's live within your means policy. OK may be taking a while to balance out but it's going the right way.

I'm giggling in anticipation of what you may have written and I don't know why really.

Me too ????

Re :  Wolves' spending, Neves for £15m looks good business.

It’s better business than Derik for free

Its exactly the sort of daft appointment I would expect them to make. His first job, way too big for him and the club has massive (overly-ambitious) expectations.

 

Could well be his only ever job if he takes it on and fails.

 

Al la John Barnes....

always feels like Derby just want to be the biggest club in the Championship

Yes but still pulling the crowds year on year despite no joy. Can’t compare to Sunderland much bigger club

as an owd duffer, i'd have derby at least the equal of sunderland joy wise

Crowd wise Home and away different gravy
