I wonder how Kieran Trippier is feeling?
Just hope he doesn’t feel he has been conned and mislead.
Good player and motivator who we desperately need onside.

This is my concern. I watched Trippier's first interview this morning, and he credited RE's passion for Wolves as a big factor in him coming here. Did Andre sign his new contract under the impression that RE was going to be in charge?
Whilst, most people agree that there is plenty of dead wood to move on, those players who we would like to retain are probably more likely than ever to want to force a move away.
I feel that the way this has been conducted is going to cause more unrest. Just when we all thought we'd had a good week, the club go and throw a spanner in the works, again.
Regarding Peixoro, it is a total gamble and I fear it could backfire.

Just to be clear, players do not sign contracts because they believe managers are going to be there for the 4/5 years they agree to. Contracts are for them and them alone. Trippier may be annoyed that Rob was sacked, but his main motivation was to be minutes away from his kids.
Raul was signed by Nathan, not by Rob. This is clearly documented. As Brad Friedel said today, "This week a player may be annoyed, but next week he has to get on with his job, and things are quickly forgotten."

Absolutely right, Pikey. Also, this all assumes that those players signing contracts weren't told this during the process, which could well be the case. It also ignores the fact that there will actually be some players in the dressing room who are happy this has happened.
For those that have forgotten, we had players fighting in the dressing room not that long ago. That's hardly a sign of a strong team spirit, is it?
