Welcome to Wolves Vitor Pereira

Don't disagree, but managers are paid to make hard decisions.

What do you want me to say? That Solskjaer can get fucked, too? He can, all the way to Hell and back again. And then some more.

I find the practice of ear-cropping to be gross as shit, and it's bad for the dog without question. I would still suggest there is a difference between that and using a feline as a fucking hacky-sack.

Just found it interesting that you've had this opinion on Moyes for quite a while and voiced it multiple times yet other animal cruelty related incidents have gone completely under the radar. There's a lot of shades of grey in the offences in terms of players directly inflicting abuse or instructing/arranging abuse but your take on the managers associated was very all or nothing. Would've thought for a topic you seem pretty passionate about regarding Moyes and Zouma it would've prompted more of an opinion on similar cases elsewhere.

I genuinely couldn’t name a single other instance aside from Sá. Suffice to say I’m no fan of his for doing that.

Too far removed from the 24/7 PL news cycle I guess.

To be clear, I don’t want Moyes exiled from management altogether. Just wouldn’t be happy at all if he were here.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah but Alan if you don’t start a thread asap tracking all football manager/player animal cruelty you are a hypocrite okay

 

[Kenny]

Jeff Shi - Continued cruelty to Wolves?

MGW and the difference between here and the US is that it's illegal

 

[basher]

Ear clipping, like tail docking, is illegal in the UK but that hasn't always been the case. Certainly as far as tail docking.

In both cases though the primary driver is an aesthetic, whether you agree with it or not. For the record I don't, it's mutilation and is not benefiting the dog in anyway shape or form.

What Zouma did though was very much an act of animal cruelty for which he was convicted. I'm not too sure what Moyes could have done differently, other than never selecting Zouma ever again? But that was never going to happen and Moyes said his piece on the incident at the time.

If you’re not mad at everyone you can’t be mad at anyone innit

 

[Alan]

I get your point, Mark, but I only have room for so many grudges.

Jeff Shi - Continued cruelty to Wolves?

Just the one Wolve wasn't it?

 

[Kenny]

Just the one Wolve wasn't it?

Yes but he made it sad, even though he asked it not to be.
