Wolves fans: Don't let Jorge Mendes meddle

Reports cast Lambert’s future into doubt should Mendes’s influence on transfers mean players the Wolves head coach does not want are imposed on him ahead of next season.

And in an Express & Star poll in which more than 3,000 people voted, a massive 86 per cent said Lambert should be given the lead role in selecting players over the Portuguese.

Among those commenting on our website, many expressed concerns that Wolves owners Fosun could repeat the mistakes of last summer when a swathe of new signings were made from overseas and a foreign boss with no experience of the Championship was appointed.

Among them were:

@SepLad

"There’s a long list of big money foreign owners who have messed up clubs - I hope Fosun aren’t joining them #wwfc"

@fxrhxxn7

"If Thelwell and Lambert in charge, we’ll sign half of Blackburn. If Mendes is in charge we’ll sign half of Benfica. Take your pick"

Andy Southall @andy_wwfc1

"if this was the route why the hell appoint Lambert!! Maybe we’re just a toy to make money for Fosun share in Mendes #wwfc"

Dave Hazelwood @davehaze1990

"News coming out of #wwfc has me worried about future of football. Agents are taking over football & Using naive wealthy owners. #theuglygame"

Tom Abbott @abs_wol

"Not a massive fan of Lambert but I we need stability and a manager with a proven track record not sure the links suggest that’ll happen #wwfc"

Chris @chriswheatsss

Mendes has his own interests at heart, couldn’t give a toss if we end up in League 1 fc #wolves"
