Simon Jordan shares what Gary O’Neil privately told him about Matheus Cunha – it’s concerning..
Matheus Cunha has made headlines again in recent days after conducting a new interview, and now Simon Jordan has made come concerning comments about Wolves’ talisman after previously speaking to Gary O’Neil about him.
Cunha spoke about his future, and admitted that he had offers to leave the club in January, before he signed his new contract.
Wolves fans were left annoyed by Cunha’s comments, with many feeling they were unnecessary and tone-deaf.
Some also did not appreciate the fact he made them after letting his teammates down recently after getting a second ban this season.
Matheus Cunha is a superb player.
But for some, all the noise around him is now starting to wear a bit thin.
Yesterday on talkSPORT, former Crystal Palace owner turned pundit Simon Jordan spoke about Cunha, and revealed a very interesting chat he previously had with Gary O’Neil about the player.

Jordan said on talkSPORT (31/02, 12:06pm): “He doesn’t need to say it. Whatever reason he’s saying it for, one has to think it’s ill-advised. But he’s talking the truth, the reality is the club have signed a contract with him primarily to protect their position, knowing he’s going to go in the summer.
“All he’s stating is what the implicit agreement is. Maybe, who knows, there’s some Machiavellian reason behind the fact the club are starting to re-nag on the agreement they had with him, and starting to indicate to him maybe they won’t sell him now they’ve got him on a three-year deal. Maybe there’s some of that going on who knows.
Newcastle United owners’ vow is bad news for rivals amid ‘game-changing’ PSR wish..
Newcastle United ended a 70-year wait to win a major domestic trophy and the club’s owners have spoken of the Carabao Cup triumph being just the start..
Eddie Howe has suggested that Newcastle United’s owners will be ‘hoping for more’ after the Magpies ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
Newcastle had not long lifted the Carabao Cup when Yasir Al-Rumayyan vowed ‘that’s the first and it’s not going to be the last’ while fellow co-owner Jamie Reuben, similarly, wrote that last month’s triumph would be ‘the start of many’. Although Howe has not had direct contact with those at the very top since that night at Wembley, clearly, the win against Liverpool has given them a taste for silverware.
“I’m sure that they will have seen things through maybe a slightly different lens,” the Newcastle boss told reporters just a few days after 300,000 Geordies gathered to celebrate the win in the city. “Seeing the reaction of everybody at Newcastle, they will have no doubt seen that and will be hoping for more.

“It just changes beliefs. It shows what is capable. That’s important for us that we believe and I’ve never not had that belief but, sometimes, people need to see it to believe it. The competition gets harder and harder, as we know, and nothing gets easier so our work has to be better and that’s all I can focus on.”
Newcastle certainly can’t afford to rest on their laurels. After all, there is still so much to play for in the final months of the campaign with an extra Champions League spot set to be up for grabs for the side who finish in fifth place in the top-flight.
Newcastle are just a point behind champions Manchester City, in fifth, and a couple of points off Chelsea in fourth ahead of the visit of Brentford to St James’ Park on Wednesday night. That is how fine the margins are at a time when a host of sides are struggling for a run of results, including Newcastle.
