Jeff Shi GONE

[AndyWolves]

Gives everyone a great opportunity to whine on the internet then I guess

I just don't see any evidence of Fosun getting this right. It's not like the current position has crept up on his and guo suddenly woke up and realised. This has been coming for years, as is well documented on here.

So either Guo wasn't paying attention (unlikely given he comes to molineux and you'd think there's be a semblance of reporting up to him) or it's only now when there is a bit of negative pressure does he take action.

The only time good decisions have been made have been when the brain has been outsourced to Jorge mendes. I just don't see Fosun being setup in a way to make this decision well.

I hope I'm wrong, but history paints a different picture, for me anyway.

Well there was a 0% chance it was going to improve under Jeff Shi and now there's a greater than 0% chance.

Even if it just starts with them not being totally tone deaf it's a start.

Where was this when Shi was in post? It's always, always after the event

That's fair. I suppose it's how much beyond 0% you go.

He wrote a very strong article a few weeks ago too.

Sports journalists are access reporters. They'll never risk their jobs to say anything negative even if true. The closest we get is Johnny Philip's weak waffling on his substack.

What else is in the sports group? Is it just esports? Would the share of Mendes’ agency count? Do Fosun / Guo’s wife still own Grasshoppers?

Fosun have never owned Grasshoppers, nor have they ever owned a share of Gestifute. So no, neither are relevant here.

Guo personally holds shares in Gestifute still; Jenny Wang sold Grasshoppers a couple of years ago.

Cheers.

So what’s Jeff actually in charge of now? Just esports?

It's big picture stuff though, and anyone but the previous incumbent (or even an empty chair) would be an improvement.

As for Jeff, let's hope the little arsewipe's career takes the sharpest of nosedives now

Absolutely agree about the big picture stuff, prawnking, but after getting into the PL in 2018 and achieving those two seventh places, I really thought we were going to consolidate being a proper PL team, instead of going up up and down like a whore’s drawers.
I’m disappointed that we will have to build, yet again, from grass roots and even risk slipping again into league one as we did the last time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are by no means a small club and consistency in the PL should have been within relatively easy reach and here we are again, messing it all up and, I’m sure after the next game, will be in the record books as the worst ever PL team.
It makes my blood boil!
I’m getting too old now and would dearly love to end my days knowing my beloved team was in the top flight forever and a day.

Perhaps I'm too cynical, but I'm surprised that people think there's a chance of a shift in mentality/recruitment process going on. Seems inevitable to me the interim Shi will be announced as permanent at some point in early Spring.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It's not right to judge people's ability on how they look, but the new Shi does not look the part.

I think it’ll become apparent in the next few months whilst Jeff was an absolute gaslighting moron that Fosun are still the big problem and similar stupid errors and excuses will still happen.
