A football club being run by a football agent.
It utterly disgusts me how low the Dingles have sunk and how compliant their ‘fans’ have been in sacrificing the very identify of their club.
Makes me sick. 🤢🤮
Mendes moves decent players there. His players get a shop window, while Wolves improve their team. When the player is at (or near) the top market value they think they'll get for him, they sell him. Yes, the agent gets a big payday, but so does the club. This means they are able to buy better players and improve the first team.
Case in point; they signed Mendes client Diogo Jota (initial season-long loan, permanent for approximately £12m). He was a reserve at Atletico Madrid, without a senior appearance to his name. After three years with the Dingles, he joins Liverpool for over £40m, ensuring a return of over 3 times the initial investment.
They have now used that money to buy a Liverpool reserve who could turn out to be a very good player, and a first-teamer from Barcelona who will improve the quality of the squad straight away.
It might benefit the agent, but it also benefits the club. And by the way, while they use Mendes on the vast majority of their transfers, not all of their players are his clients; he represents the club in deals which bring other players in. They scout better than a lot of teams too.
