Manager Appointment

[WBA1955]

The truth is our owner will never invest and the board are working to this reality.
The sooner Lai sells up the better but how? - he needs to get his money back so that is player sales and parachute payments retained. Even more scarily selling the ground for development & moving to God knows.
But with Lai as the owner the only way is down- no investment, no ambition, no vision.
The board have absolutely no plan to get back to the Premiership.They are in a holding pattern- championship mediocrity the ceiling- God knows where the floor is

Tell me I'm wrong...........please

You know what really worries me? This Lai bloke paid way over the odds for us. Way way over. I think £60-£100m would have been the right price for us, nothing higher.
Now some might think that Peace saw a mug coming and sold him a pup.
I don't think so, i don't think Lai is a mug at all, mugs don't become billionaires before they are 40.
Look at Abramovich, he always has that senile smile on his face like someone who has just p!$$ed his pants, but he's far from a mug.
It appears Lai has no interest in the footballing side of the club at all, last summer we could have gone for Dean Smith, Graham Potter or Lee Johnson, but instead we went for good old DM, the Hoss Cartwright of football managers.
Swansea had Potter, and now the big Albion have signed him. Just forget where Smith ended up.
We still have Jimmy Shan.

So, if Lai has no ambition for the club why would he pay more than twice the value for us?
Does anyone know what Albion's assetts are, how much land we own etc?

Very worrying.

We have to thank Mr Peace for finding us the right person to take us on just like he promised.

I'm probably alone in thinking I just want them to make the right choice, even if we have to wait longer for it. I'm not sure who that person is, because no-one jumps out or excites me. I hadn't heard of this Labaddia before but my German friends tell me he's a good manager.

In my opinion, by sacking DM they should have had a manager lined up and ready to go then at that stage of the season. Right now, its the off season so I don't think waiting it out in June is a big issue, as long as they appoint the right person...is my view on it.

And I'm not bothered if they go down the expensive route or not, its not all about money in this league. Ask Norwich and Sheff Utd.

Are you saying Des the land could be sold off to rebuild a huge cash and carry chinky or something!

On a serious note - plenty of billionaires have been burnt but depending on wealth - it’s no big deal to write off some investments which could effectively become a tax fiddle. I honestly think Peace sold this little man right up the river - more so now the club are in free fall! Bet the value would be 100 million at most now!

Bet there’s a brain storming meeting in China to decide the best way to get their investment back - Rondon - Parachute cash - Dawson - Jay Rod - reduce payroll and where are you Jimmy - the jobs all yours mate 😭

Labbadia's contract with Wolfsburg expires on June 30th, just saying......

That being the case 68 it's a very valid point. Would that stop any announcement though if he's already left the club and has an exit date in place I wonder? If there is any mileage in this I'd be more than happy with him as he did a great job at Wolfsburg.

Al, i am just thinking about Wolves previous owners, The Bhatti's and more recently Morgan.
Morgan was all about buying land and building things and as a consequence Wolves ended up in the third tier.
It didn't bother Morgan, he did what he came to do, sold up and moved on.
It's the fans that have to suffer.

According to John Percy of Telegraph fame, Chris Houghton will be interviwed this week. He is sure that either Chris or one other unnamed manager will be appointed. Anyone think that Roberto Di Matteo could be the unnamed manager in this field?
