@ground_guru @loulangdown We as a society have a responsibility to support him, not just his leaders/union/employees. Cannot allow a young man to made a public scapegoat. #bekind

[Richard Walker @rich5walker80]

@ground_guru @loulangdown Couldn’t agree more. A young man trying to make his way in a tough industry by doing what his leaders have asked of him. Yes there has to be some sort of consequence but the public scrutiny him & his family will be under is beyond proportionate.

‘It is really important to value the people that are close to you’.

As part of our Inside Matters campaign, @Wolves head coach Rob Edwards caught up with friend and former player, Matt Murray.

It’s been said that I have more of a face for radio 😅, nevertheless it was great to be part of the @BBCMOTD piece on a fantastic young man. ⚽️🔥

From Rochdale to the Premier League...

Mateus Mane is a star on the rise! 🌟

Great to share a Ball Mastery session with @MyFootballCoach. As excited as we all get about Tactics, please don’t neglect the fundamentals Coaches 🙏🏻. If players are able to ‘Out Play’ their opponent 1v1, then the Tactics become a whole let easier. ⚽️🔥

[MyFootballCoach @MyFootballCoach]

Wolves U18s coach @rich5walker80: ball mastery with two players. Aerial control, receiving, safe-side travelling, step-on + feint — into 1v1.

@forrester_will6 @leytonorientfc Love it Will. Well done pal 👏🏻

[Richard Walker @rich5walker80]

Very proud of this young man. Doesn’t seem 2mins since he was 15yo coming into Compton for the 1st time. Great work Tony Ellis/@harryhooman22 to back Mane to thrive in our environment. Most importantly though, well done to Mateus for the daily discipline & dedication. 💪🏻⚽️🔥

“It’s amazing, the fans singing my name and having our backs. Even when we haven’t been performing, they were behind us.”

A word from Mateus Mane 🗣️

It’s been a real privilege to step up with the first team over the past 10 days and support James Collins. Not the result we wanted at Chelsea, but there’s plenty to learn from and be proud of. Back to the day job now, with even greater hunger and belief to reach the top. ⚽️🔥

Today would have been Gary Speed’s 55th birthday.

Whenever he is mentioned on here, this video with Dan Walker comes into my mind. A deeply impactful few minutes if you’ve never seen it before. ❤️

@TomPope69507931 Whilst I’ve heard grown men tell me they got released when they were younger for being “too small”, I’m yet to hear one coach ever tell me they released a player because they were too small. Imo coaches are too aware of growth & maturation to do that.

[Richard Walker @rich5walker80]

So much admiration for this young man. I hear the word “pathway” thrown about from players/parents/agents like there’s such thing as a free ride into someone’s first team. Ebere forced his own pathway despite being told “No” so many times. #belief #resilience 💪🏻⚽️🔥

[number2blue @number2blue]

Ebere Eze got released by quite a few clubs when younger before signing for QPR then Crystal Palace.
