Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to club chairman Jeff Shi’s response to Leeds United and Aston Villa senior officials.

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani criticised Wolves’ spending last week on Twitter, while Villa CEO Keith Wyness also made a mischievous post on the social networking site.

Wyness shared a story on BBC Sport from May 2017 which was about the Wanderers dismissing Paul Lambert as their manager.

The report on BBC Sport also claimed that Nuno Espirito Santo was set to be appointed the Wanderers boss – as he eventually was – and outlined the link between the Championship club and Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes.

The Wanderers are having a wonderful season in the Championship and are likely to earn automatic promotion to the Premier League for the 2018-19 campaign.

Wolves chairman Shi has responded to Radrizzani and Wyness criticisms, and told The Express & Star: “I was very surprised to see some Twitter of the chairman of Leeds (Andrea Radrizzani because I knew him, I also had several lunches with him, together with Jorge!

“So it’s very strange. In person I talk to him and he’s nice, so I guess maybe he has the pressure and I understand that.

“I was also surprised to see the Twitter of Keith (Wyness, Villa chief executive). On Saturday I met him and said ‘what happened?’.”

Wolves fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Shi’s response to swipe from Leeds and Villa senior officials.
