We had some sort of relationship at one point with these two leading to us appointing Aitor Karanka and loaning several Chelsea youngsters.
There was talk at one point bringing in some spanish youngsters.. then it turned out we were going in a different direction.
(I think the 'Spanish youngsters' included Saul Niguez & Denis Suarez) at the same time a Chinese consortium was sniffing around but nothing came of it.
Now fast forward to Aitor Karanka kicking off over the likes of Stewart Downing and Jordan Rhodes.. both of which he never wanted. We make it over the line only to assemble an absolute crackpot of a team that quickly goes down after Aitor Karanka kicking off at the January transfer window when he didn't get the quick technical Spanish players he had requested... strange?
Around this time Wolves had been approached by Peter Kenyon and a Chinese consortium looking to buy a ready made premier league team. They pump money into the team and seemingly build a team capable of challenging for europe in the championship with Nuno Espírito Santo at the helm. Great choice, overtake boro and become established as a premier league team.
Aitor Karanka? He goes to Nottingham Forest with a little help with Jorge Mendes.. the wheels come off and he's out of a job.
Did we try to go the Wolves route on the cheap? Was it a condition that we had to sell the club to the consortium to get the likes of Saul & Suarez (a bit like Tevez and Mascherano at West Ham) Is THAT why Karanka was ***ed off having been sold the spanish/premier league team challenging for Europe?
Leeds seem to be doing well nicking our director of football, nicking the likes Forshaw, Bamford & Harrison but choosing Bielsa over Karanka.. are they doing it on the cheap?
Also.. what on earth are we playing at?
