Fucking excellent. When was the last pre season we had that wasn't a complete disaster?

2021 I guess but I don't think we did anything grand bar a trip to Europe

Last year was the USA one that was cancelled but when that was cancelled we had next to nothing lined up and had to scramble around for games. We have at least got other games in already this year.

Looks like an investor pulled out and the tour organiser couldn't find a replacement (investor probably from here and hates Hwang)

From the stuff released the club have asked any fans who had booked to go to Korea to contact them so hopefully they do something to help those who now just face the horrible thought of just having a holiday in Korea...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Very glad I didn’t book a flight to Suwon. Way too expensive so I didn’t dabble.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

You reckon we will sell Hwang now ?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This alleged "commercial value" we get from him is bullshit anyway. I bet we hardly make anything from his Korea friends.

He shouldn't be here because he's not a very good footballer and he doesn't even have a position. However until Jesse Marsch gets another job then no-one wants him, as they have eyes.

 

[Kenny]

As punishment for his homeland screwing us over?

I know he isn't a fave on here but he is one of those players managers love to have in the squad. They see a benefit we don't (see Edwards, D for another example of this)

Very easy to have a wonderful week in Korea.

 

[Kenny]

Yeah that line wasn't entirely serious

 

[HanDoJin]

I mean, if your usual holiday is a week watching Fools and Horses reruns in a bar in Benidorm then you may struggle, granted.

Speaking of Korea.

South Koreans become a year or two younger as country changes system for counting ages

While some are expected to keep using the old system, 86% say they will adopt the international system in their everyday lives

So Hwang is actually 28 in S.Korea but 27 here, weird.

 

[HanDoJin]

Does that extend or reduce his contract by a year?

Such a strange quirk of Korean culture this one. You're 1 when you're born, and then gain a year not on your birthday, but instead on 1 January. So, if you were born on 31 December, you'd turn 2 the next day.

I wonder how many people had made travel plans?

Fully expecting a E&S Premium article on those who have.

At least the club have asked them to contact them so they can give them Wolves cash or maybe use of the hotel the team were going to use

Always said Hwang was a thoroughbred

 

[Alan]

The extent to which Hwang gets hammered over his nationality is uncomfortable.

Don't think he gets any stuff because of his nationality, mostly its because lots of folk think he's rubbish.
If you're referring to NSLs post, it's just a joke, quite a clever one, just happens to coincide with the way South Korea organise their birthdays.

 

[Alan]

No, it's the constant allusions to his Korean-ness, how he's perceived there, being bought as a marketing gimmick, etc.
