How has he “successfully”changed the manager? Lage is miles worse than Nuno.
How much net do you think we need to spend in the summer and how much do you think we will spend?3/4 seasons top half finishes.

'Successfully' changed the manager
Through certain lens' it looks like he's doing a decent job
I don't think Andy is saying he's doing a good job, but as with my post earlier if you don't look at the granular detail which it's unlikely the main Fosun Board will, it gives a facade of success. Add the disproportionate focus on Esports and how it would appear that's delivering the vanity Brand exposure they are looking for and the headline metrics are positive.How much net do you think we need to spend in the summer and how much do you think we will spend?
I think (due to stagnation in the last 2/3 seasons, players ageing and that our squad depth was inadequate before then, we now need to spend a net £80m to stay where we are.
I think we will spend £15-20m max and be relegated.
We'll have a better league position than last season. I put it in quotes as it clearly isn't just about league position.How has he “successfully”changed the manager? Lage is miles worse than Nuno.
Exactly, I think Jeff is doing exactly what fosun want him too, superficially at least.I don't think Andy is saying he's doing a good job, but as with my post earlier if you don't look at the granular detail which it's unlikely the main Fosun Board will, it gives a facade of success.

That's where we disagree the model collapses with relegation as the value of the investment reduces significantlyExactly, I think Jeff is doing exactly what fosun want him too, superficially at least.
If he oversees a relegation to the championship will fosun see it as a categoric failure? I'm not sure they will, more likely a bump in the road which gives us the opportunity to bring through some of our youth prospects.
Can already see the 'it's actually more fun in the Championship' posts on Twitter in the middle distance.Exactly, I think Jeff is doing exactly what fosun want him too, superficially at least.

I know you are putting things through Fosun's eyes and the reply to them should be "it looked like Rafa was doing a decent job at Everton until they started plummeting towards the relegation zone"3/4 seasons top half finishes.

In fairness Rafa was good for 6-8 weeks tops. Jeff has been 'delivering' for 4-5 seasons.I know you are putting things through Fosun's eyes and the reply to them should be "it looked like Rafa was doing a decent job at Everton until they started plummeting towards the relegation zone"
I'm half asleep... I thought I was on the Bruno threadIn fairness Rafa was good for 6-8 weeks tops. Jeff has been 'delivering' for 4-5 seasons.
It's opinions as i said. We are all allowed different ones..Is it?
The investment company have written off their loan to give a less than honest picture of growth.
The working profit is based on player transfers of which it looks like they have one asset left when 2 years ago they had 5.
I would say that's built on sand. Add to that a weakening customer base, ageing stadium asset needing to be replaced and a CEO living in an echo chamber and I would say that is a company going in the wrong direction.
Depends what they've invested in and what their aims are.That's where we disagree the model collapses with relegation as the value of the investment reduces significantly
How many sign 18 year old kids for £35m and talk about them being generational talents? If he didn't pretend he knew about football then he wouldn't be judged as suchHow many CEO's are football men. I don't know any.
Shi came over from China to live here and he's really invested his time into the football side - he was always seen taking a keen interested at the training ground most days, he attends all of Wolves games including a lot of the younger age groups games. It's to be admired in a way but the worry is he now thinks he knows enough not to have that outside input. I mean his quote that Fabio Silva gets into any team in the Premier League is just ludircrous.How many sign 18 year old kids for £35m and talk about them being generational talents?
