Most Wolves fans I’ve seen talk about it say they think it was covered up that he was sacked as a favour for everything he’s done for the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also possible that they won't gel with the squad, and could even be disruptive. Could say that about any signing by any club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the last one lead them to 10th then buggered off to Madrid at the first opportunity. Maybe Everton fans need to realise they aren’t the club they think they are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sadly all more or less endorsed by ex footballer pundits. Agree with all of the above bar cynical fouls. I don’t think that’s cheating. The rules could be changed to clamp down on it for sure.

fox_up_north Posted 12 June 2021 Share Posted 12 June 2021 We desperately need a kind of sin bin and general clamping down on behaviour. I work in education and there's a clear pathway of punishment. I'd start with - don't approach the ref unless called - if you disagree with a decision, you and your captain can argue the point - if you shout or swear at the ref - instant yellow I think a big part of the problem is these are millionaires and feel above it. Plus they're backed up by team mates. You don't see it in other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard a few snippets that money is v v tight ..... Word is we will likely be "creative" and may have to sell to buy. The reality is we're not close to being in any trouble with FFP, although we did get fined by UEFA when we were in the Europa League, we got punished by their more stringent rules. Mainly because we still had The Championship seasons in our 3 year accounts where we got much less TV money. Fined for getting into Europe too quickly basically. 3 hours ago, Koke said: More boring 352/343 negative football for Everton.

Of course it should although like most things in football it's not always easy to judge and the difficulty is there's nothing between a yellow or a red for last man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will try to cut their goals against by 10 as his first priority. They will still cause us problems though, they always do.

Clever Fox Posted 13 June 2021 Share Posted 13 June 2021 As a Football Fan I feel for the Everton Fans. They've had their hopes for the new season shattered by a Manager who had no love for Everton. They're gutted and feel cheated as we would if Brendan were to leave in the middle of our project. When added to Yesterday's events, Football is a tough business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Everton don't have any ties to Mendes, and Nuno is just a friend and client. Might mean one or two favours for him but I doubt they'll just start funnelling young Portugese players like Mendes does at Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
