Leeds (A) 18/04: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Wilf Wolf]

You wonder what process they used to identify suitable players in the summer. It can’t have involved watching someone like Tchatchoua live as within less than half a game the scouting report would read “Next”. Presumably they use a database of some sort and searched on “quick; strong” and omitted “control; crossing; passing”?

 

[Kenny]

For RB it fast became "is available and willing to join us"

Fosun haven’t fucked up this badly on purpose, they just don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t believe for a second that they aren’t bothered by relegation. It’s crazy to think they led us to this point on purpose.

Most people don't fuck up badly on purpose, but if you're thoughtless, arrogant, reckless and don't heed warning signs in any field of human activity, you're likely to come a cropper sooner rather than later

Listening to RE post match interview on 5live just annoys me how chilled out and jovial he sounded. Like yeah we know we’re going down but we’ll give it a good go and few mistakes cost us, yes rob you made a lot of those mistakes.

Yes but WHATS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY etc etc etc.

Fuck him off.

That's the problem. He was promised next season no matter what! So no pressure on him. Who gets employed on those terms. Not me, not you! It's bollox.

 

[big mean bunny]

I keep thinking of ways and permutations that would lead to him going, but then I always remember they not only didn't want to get rid of O'Neil when they did, but then tried to bring him back; and give up trying to convince myself.

 

[prawnking]

Problem is, with the 'talent' we have in charge of manager and player recruitment (OK you can cut Shi II a bit of slack if you're generous), getting a decent Rob replacement and getting a competitive squad for next season will really just be luck not judgement...you could say Nuno and everything that came from his appointment was just that

 

[Tredman]

Shi II could be a success if he recognises that the football side of the club is fundamentally broken and he does not have the knowledge or experience to fix that.

Re Jeff, you don’t get that high up in an international company by being shit, he must be good at something to get where he did, I’ve always thought he fucked something up somewhere in Fosun maybe around the time they were buying us or just before, and he got sent to England to get him as far away as possible as a punishment, that’s why they never really interfered, until he fucked it up again.
It’s a terrible theory, but hey its my theory.

 

[Lycan]

Fucking hell, this shower of shite don't deserve the fans.a really good away end, especially considering what we've seen this season.

Bentley conceded three and was probably our best player today.

A front line up that lacks the potency of Podence, Trinçao and MGW. Less hold up play than Fabio and a midfield that was so poor I (genuinely) didn't see JRB touch the ball in the first half.

RE can just go, we've been mildly less bad under him than VP but I've seen nothing that shows promise for next season. Just fuck him off.

Finally, Tchatchoua - worse player we've had in the PL. He's probably in my all time worst Wolves 11.

They really didn't deserve us today. Shower of fucking cunts the lot of them.

His punishment for fucking up was a promotion to manage the Fosun sector that Wolves sit in.

Def a terrible theory but we all have those (well i do)

That's the other way they've gaslit us. He still lives in the area, he doesn't need to and is ultimately responsible for Wolves given they are the largest part of his portfolio. He might not be part of the day to day, but he simply can't be nothing to do with the football team when he's ultimately responsible for it's financial performance

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Re Jeff, you don’t get that high up in an international company by being shit, he must be good at something to get where he did.

Getting to the top of an international company can often just mean you're good at convincing people you're capable, plenty of people build entire careers on that alone.

Jeff was clearly excellent at talking the talk (To people who knew nothing). The problem was Fosun took far too long to realise he couldn't walk it. His CV is full of roles with no meaning or substance.

Well, he was an executive, so...

Saw this earlier, seems the right place to put it.

Among all 130 managers who have managed 50+ Premier League games, Edwards has the lowest win percentage 15.3%
9 wins in 59 games
The lowest points per game ratio 0f 0.69
and is the only manager to concede two or more goals per game - 118 goals in 59 games.
And I heard this at the beginning of todays game, the encouraging stat, that Wolves have the lowest / fewest goals scored away in the TOP FOUR DIVISIONS with just 7.
Fucking 7 goals scored away from home all season!

Jeff Shi is nowhere near high up in Fosun.

Jeff not going anywhere, literally, and Nathan being on board way before ‘he was’ probably tells you all you need to know
