And I know since then there were a couple of people saying that was never the case and there was no interest in him.

I can categorically say for 100% certainty that there was interest in him and that was getting discussed by the higher powers 100%.

And if the play doesn't end up coming, then obviously it's very easy for the club to put out there saying that there was never any interest in him.

But this is the kind of murky world that we live in when Mendes takes over, Tim, where you're going to have some conversations happening at top level and top senior level at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And obviously they're blindsided and kind of will not know certain things that will be happening and they'll just be told this player is signing from sometimes and sometimes it'll happen and sometimes it won't.

Like you say, they were blindsided with the Robert Edwards dismissal where there will be some kind of a control in terms of incomings and outgoings and then you've got... that level from mendez where we don't know we don't know as fans we don't know as the club we don't know as players what's going on because they don't really know and these deals can be done very very quickly or or they don't get done at all we just don't know but there's so many plays that are going to be up in the air that i don't think even know themselves that wolves are interested in them at this moment yeah

and we should we should stay you know in case it's not clear There are two clubs within a club here, and it's the guest of future side and it's the club side.

And the fact that very senior people at the club did not know that Rob Edwards had been sacked 12 hours later just sort of illustrates that.

I mean, God knows the amount of... potential future Wolves signings I've reported on that sort of links come from overseas and Portugal and whatever and then I sort of ask people at the club oh is this happening do you know if Wolves are signing you know Rui Bento.

No, and of course, if they don't end up coming, you know, there's an interest and they don't end up coming, it's very easy to say there was never an interest because you're not going to get a club saying, oh, Tim.

we really wanted them and they were in negotiations but they're going elsewhere.

Yeah, and hence why Ben Rigglesworth, I'm not speaking on his behalf at all, but hence why he leaves because he's head of scouting, he's an important part of their recruitment model and he's being ignored because Wolves are using other people.

Yeah, but it's important for these people to get control and to try and reclaim control.

I don't envy their position because when you become and you're in bed with Mendes and whether that's for the good or the bad, unfortunately a lot of people are left in the dark.
