Stuff that came out years ago I think. This was known during our successful spell under Fosun

 

[Stan Hullis]

I’m not sure it tells us anything that hasn’t been apparent since Fosun took us over tbf. Mendes was always going to benefit, given that Gesitfute are partnered with Fosun as investors.

Definitely. Iirc Fosun stated it was the only way of making money in football.

Fair play. If I’d read it in the past I’d forgotten it!

 

[basher]

That's from a decade ago, it was first published in the German press IIRC?

It came from hacked emails, again IIRC?

How a soccer agent and Chinese billionaire aimed to trade in players

The Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes joined forces with investors from Shanghai and planned to cash in on buying and selling athletes, documents show.

It’s not news at all. We all loved the mendes relationship when it took us to 7th and a Europa league quarter final.

Plus check out what managers we appoint when we don't involve Mendes. Christ alive.

(He is also to blame for Lage but that's the one clear dud out of four, whereas it's a 0% hit rate otherwise)

Exactly this.

Most of us would have that relationship back in a heartbeat - especially now.

Well if reports are to be believed, he was one of the parties trying to flog JSL to Newcastle.

Probably had a player he wanted to replace him with.
Get that commission doubled

But i would take the info from Newcastle with a pinch of salt. Trying to cover the fact their shambles of a transfer window includes not being able to sign a player from the club most likely to sell.

It wasn’t “reports”…..

It was some shitty Wolves Twitter account…….that gets a lot more wrong than it does right…..

Wasn’t it reported by Craig Hope? Didn’t someone (Lycan, maybe?) refer to him as “someone who actually knows what’s going on at Newcastle” literally yesterday?

I don’t think we can flip flop between what information we are choosing to believe based on which narrative we support on any given day of the week or whenever it suits.

Anyway, no biggie. I don’t remember reading that particular Fosun stuff before, albeit most of it appears to be public knowledge already.

As per post above, it wasn’t.
