There goes Julen!

[Alan]

Maybe I'm just that much of a shill for the club at this point, but it would bring quite a smile to my face if Lop reappeared in the Prem and we took 3 points off him.

 

[The Dude]

I do think he treated Raul badly in that final home game, nobody on here knows whether it was deliberate or not, although the selection at Arsenal was an elaborate double bluff if it was. There was also something that didn't ring true about RAN, Moutinho and Jonny all refusing to attend the same game, yet the 2 still in contract don't seem to have been fined for it. Given Moutinho looks like he's retired, the didn't want to get injured as he has an opportunity lined up line used at the time doesn't hold up. I'm not jumping to the Ws conclusion but there is more to it than we know.

from what I've heard RAN was given leave for a personal situation. I've no idea why Jonny didn't attend.

X users with loads of numbers in their name have famously been good sources for many a thing

Think J-Lo would have groundhog day if he went to West Ham. A lot of Moyes' problem at the minute is communicating with their CEO.

It isn't.

Moyes and the DoF don't get along. Moyes wants UK players, the DoF has a wider net.

Nothing to do with the CEO.

We're the only one in the PL where the owners have pulled the plug. Still the only club that hasn't signed a first team player for money.

Julen Lopetegui exclusive: 'We cried when we left Wolves. Now I'm ready for Premier League return'

In his first interview since leaving Wolves, Julen Lopetegui discusses his exit, what changed and what comes next

[Tony Towner]

Shame the compromise agreement stops him from saying anything

 

[Loki]

I won’t bother reading it then.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You can read about the steaming pile of shite we brought in instead then.

 

[Jolemai]

Was Madeley absent for that exclusive?

 

[C.L.D]

Yeah it's an article that basically only told me that Lop loves to talk whilst saying fuck all meaningful. He doesn't want to be looking like burning bridges whilst trying to get work in the league again.

He and his team still living and hanging about in the Midlands though, must be having a fun time.

 

[Alan]

He's a fucking asshole.

Unfortunately, we're worse off regardless of that.

 

[Johnny75]

That's

He's a fucking asshole.

Unfortunately, we're worse off regardless of that.

Unnecessarily harsh.

 

[prawnking]

Weird that he's still around the area and seemingly waiting for a PL vacancy.

He had a PL job, makes you wonder how bad things were that he felt he had no option but to fuck it all off

 

[Tony Towner]

With him saying he wants the opportunity to take a team to the top half I do wonder how many credible options there are for him?
Arsenal, City, Spurs, Liverpool, Villa and Brighton aren't becoming available this year. Newcastle have stabilised so Howe looks safe. Chelsea are Chelsea, surprised if they got rid of Poch though. Utd seems an obvious candidate, but not sure their ego as a club would let them go after the ex Wolves manager. So he's left with the likes of Palace, West Ham, Fulham and Forest none of who have managers in danger. May have to wait for Hodgson to retire, but are they big enough for him?

 

[prawnking]

I could see him at Villa if it went tits up with Emery. Depends on how long he wants to wait.

You'd have thought he'd have been better off spending that time at Wolves, clearly the relationship was beyond broken and presumably intolerable!?

More likely Emery moves to a bigger club than it going tits up unfortunately.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He didn’t want to bumble around the bottom half of the table. 1) he thinks himself above that 2) With a bit of bad luck we could still have been right in it (maybe without bad luck) and that could potentially damage his reputation.

I don’t think he will have thought about other jobs. Just didn’t want this one and it’s not an issue to him financially not working. He might have to lower his expectations the more time goes on as you don’t want to be out of work too long.

 

[SSB]

Weird that he's still around the area and seemingly waiting for a PL vacancy.

Is there any logical (tax??) reason he’s still living in Tettenhall? It can be solely because he’s waiting for the next job offer.

 

[prawnking]

Just think it's oddly short-sighted with how quickly things can change (like the Nunes sale), and I would have liked him to have backed himself a little more.

But I guess the 'project' changed, the rug was pulled and he decided to bail, bad news for all of us (the project being ditched rather than necessarily losing JL)

 

[Lycan]

He's been handsomely paid off by both Wolves & Sevilla recently, he can afford to sit tight and wait for a job that interests him. Who's his competition for top end Premier League jobs right now? Only Potter really and Lopetegui has a much better pedigree than him.
