Times on Mendes "grip" on Wolves

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/is-jorge-mendes-grip-on-wolves-too-tight-gd33wh8v6


"Gestifute and Wolves declined to comment when approached by The Times, "

Not sure what else either can say after 2 years of being asked the same question.

Tata Martino says Jiminez is likely to take over the Mexican captaincy from Andres Guardado.

Some firm Cutrone news.
He needs to start 26 games to trigger the sale. He's started 11 - all last season, so I'd say this isn't the done deal we all thought.

FWIW I think the buy back element of the below is lost in translation

[Kenny]

My take on the lost in translation - It is not a buy back clause but an early buy clause we wanted and that was set to 26 games. They still have the obligation to pay the 16m for him next summer, regardless of hitting that 26 game mark

 

[Nando]

Rui, Ruben and Joao start for Portugal tonight.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rui back in goal too (didn't play the last two games for unknown reasons, other than Fernando Santos is a tit).

Adama on the bench for Spain.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Raul starting for Mexico vs Holland

Raul starting for Mexico vs Holland

Hopefully a goal for him then to get hime up and running again

 

[Tredman]

Adama just come on for his debut. Cue lots of jokes about playing against his club team.

 

[Charlie Wolf]

And Raúl has scored for Mexico

BBC called it the Wolves derby when Traore came on.....sounds like plenty of involvement for our players

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Traore ended up against Semedo. Was a good battle.

Bit shit that Neves had to play the full 90 in a friendly whilst Bruno Fernandes sat on his arse all game staying fresh for the weekend.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Never try to work out what Ross's Dad from Friends is thinking, he's such a shit, shit manager. Portugal could sweep the lot if they had someone better in charge.

He's still picking Pepe FFS.

International management is weird, we have Southgate who would struggle to get a top half PL job, Deschamps is an absolute fool (Laporte STILL doesn't have a cap!), as I say Santos is rubbish, Löw should have been sacked on at least two occasions but he's still there, Frank de Boer has just got the Dutch gig and his recent record at club level is beyond woeful, Martinez is in charge of the #1 ranked team in the world and well, I've seen his teams play...

 

[The Bear]

And a footballing dinosaur in charge of our U21s.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

I guess international management is a bit of a dead end, and not the pinnacle of achievement it may have been.

That or maybe most decent club positions pay more than most of the national associations do

It's true, I don't think in a million years that Nuno would swap Wolves for Portugal.

Before his latest deal Nuno and Southgate were on broadly the same, so you can assume more than half the PL managers earn more than him

 

[YoungWolf]

I think because they are coaches rather than simply the old school managers these days a factor must be that they don't get the day to day work with the players that they want to do.
