Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and here with me is Alex Stewart and Seb Stapha Bloor. Hi Alex. Hello. Hi, Seb. Hi, Joe. Today we talked about Wolverhampton Wanderers or wolves, as many people know them by. The main thing of interest today is an exclusive conversation

about the dangerous injuries that fireworks can cause, but that's later on in the episode.

Earlier on, we talked about the situation with Jeff Shee, various people leaving their

roles, and Jeff Shee sort of maybe temporarily, maybe not, filling some of those footballing roles alongside a committee.

So we got Tim Spears to clear that up for us.

Did I introduce Tim already?

No.

No, didn't, did I? That's my mad.

Tim Spears, of course, from The Athletic, who writes about wolves and is insanely knowledgeable about wolves

joined us for this episode. And of course, I should have introduced him at the very beginning,

but I didn't because I can't do my job. We also talked about the club's academy,

how the changing in structure may or may not affect George Mendez. We talked about a damatriore for a while,

Raul Jimenez, how some of those players are fitting into the team together and whether Tim is afraid that any of them will leave. Are they a repeat of the Everton, David Moyes team of 2010? That's the stupidest analogy of all time. Also, we talk about their stadium, potential expansion. We talk about Molineux towards the end. And Seb has a little love affair with the museum at Mollinue, don't you, Seb? I do, I do. I actually, you know, when this comes out, I took some pictures of my visit to the museum a few years ago. So maybe we'll push those out on Twitter. Yeah, fantastic. It's like a walking advert. Well, anyway, if you want to read more of Tim's work or listen to the podcast that Tim records as part of the athletics offering, the Mullenue View, very interesting, Alex's favorite podcast. Yes, absolutely. I don't know why I'm making that joke, because it makes it sound like the podcast isn't good. But it is. I just wanted to involve involve you Alex. Yes. Anyway, you can get a 90 day free trial. Imagine a 90 day free trial to read all of Tim's work, which listen, we highly encourage you to do so because as you will hear from today's episode, Tim knows what he's talking about. You won't find better coverage of Wolverhampton Wanderers anywhere else.

So if you visit theathletic.com.com.

Atk.4.000-Tifo and then the numbers 90.

You can start your 90-day free trial and enjoy all the wonders of the written word.

Anyway, join Alex and Seb and I now in welcoming Tim Spears.

So Tim, I think one of the most logical places to start would be the, the structure of the

club as a whole.

Over the last 18 months, obviously Kevin Thurwell has left. He's gone to New York Red Bulls.

Laurie Dalrymple has gone. He was the managing director. Phil Hayward, the head of medical,

and Garraf Prasso, who is the head of the academy. It's all within our last 18 months and in one of your more recent articles,
