Wolves aren't spending money - they are loaning players from Jorge Mendez's stable of managed players. It's very clever and suits both sides. Wolves get quality players without having to spend vast sums of money, and Mendez's clients get to put themselves in the shop window rather than sit and rot in the reserves of a better team somewhere else.Originally Posted by Forest Green Bluebird
I still haven't quite figured out whether I'd want that for us i.e. basically a feeder club for better teams, as you'd hope the eventual outcome would be that you would be one of those better teams. On balance, if I were a Wolves fan, I'd think this was a real positive for the club after years of basically not being able to compete.
For us it means that even keeping close to them in the table is a brilliant achievement - beating them at their place seems all the sweeter when you consider the advantages they have available to them under this setup.
