(single word yields best result)

14 Jul 2016 23:41:25
If it broke down it wouldve been mentioned by wolves them selves with all agro from supporters Who been feeding us info. Just see what happen. every take over goes through negatives.



15 Jul 2016 06:41:53
It's all been a ruse by moxey, when the season starts and the window closes he will say, what could we do our hands were tied and relegation will be starring us in the face.



14 Jul 2016 23:38:31
This club does not know it's arse from its elbow. if this has been a big hoax or a ruse to sell more tickets then the opposite will happen and they'll have a mutiny on their hands. imagine the demonstrations.



14 Jul 2016 23:24:33
It could be the deal between club and manager didn't get of the ground . maybe were keeping good old kenny or even better bringing back big mick come on you wolves . stabbed in our backs again.



14 Jul 2016 23:07:32
Mcdonald all of a sudden staying put?



14 Jul 2016 23:05:05
There were reports that the Spaniard would be named new Wolves boss, with a related Chinese takeover since failing to get off the ground, pushing Lopetegui to the Spain role, according to marca.



14 Jul 2016 22:49:20
According to sources in spain julen Lopetegui is odds on favorite to become the spanish national teams manager as the takeover from the reported chinese consortium has failed to materialise.
Knew it wouldn't happen!



14 Jul 2016 22:59:29
The Marca story says, "deal hasn't got off the ground". Then why would the paperwork
Be with the football league? Not much news happening today chill your beans
And wait and see. If not get behind the mighty wanderers through thick and thin.



14 Jul 2016 23:03:36
I don't think it's ITK, I think they are just observing, as we all are, it's not materialised YET and they are hoping, stirring things up. All of these News places primary objective is to attract attention / readers / traffic, just think what ours are like speculating over England Managers. If they can come up with a story they will.



14 Jul 2016 23:48:20
just been on the marca site nothing at all mentioned about Wolves or Lapetegui it's all a load of rollocks!



14 Jul 2016 22:48:04
Just sharing what i've been told, completely upto you if you chose to believe this or not;

Takeover complete - waiting for it to go public. Originally told Kenny would be in charge for the Crewe friendly but won't be travelling to Cork.

Moxey on his bike - accepted a role at Norwich FC.

New gaffer 'has a list of players who are waiting to sign'.

KMac supposedly failed medical at Fulham but as KJ said transfers are on hold while takeover is ongoing then not entirely sure on that one.


As I said, just sharing what i've been told!

Wolves ay we!



14 Jul 2016 22:59:56
It has fell through! Never mind being completed!



14 Jul 2016 22:36:12
The takeover has fell through. fact!



14 Jul 2016 22:35:26
Now Marca.com are saying the deal has collapsed - can't take much more, my nerves are shot!



15 Jul 2016 06:33:17
The deal has not fell apart if had with how much money li got would been all over press n on sky also far too many experts in Spanish newspapers in uk read just headline - this is sensasalist reporting - it sells papers - deal is done expect hold up is trying get new players sorted before announcement also all players been linked to ( except fleet wood one ) been decent price now if deal was off were this £ coming from cause Morgan got no reason spend £3.5-4m on a player so let's try take step back ignore hyped newspaper reports and hopefully club will get its act together and make announcement soon.



14 Jul 2016 22:33:25
Regarding this takeover let's look at what we'v got:

This all started 2 weeks ago by a report from Spain and then daily updates from Guillem Ballague. Besides this all we have had is RUMOUR after RUMOUR which are just that.

Moxey has come out with a statement which neither denied or confirmed it.

I think that these talks did happen but clearly something is wrong. Apparently we heard that it had been confirmed by various ITK and that same evening we had Nick Powell follow us on Twitter and agree to a 16k a week contract which had to point to the takeover happening as no way would Moxey pay him this under Morgan. Then 3 hours later he unfollows us, and agrees to join Wigan after having the contract offered to him by us changed.

To me it looks like something happened Monday evening which changed the course of this deal. I really hope i'm wrong because this management we have now will take us further backwards. You only have to look at Moxeys negotiating skills at buying the likes of Callum Wilson etc to know this guy is the poison at OUR club.

Every day we are checking our phones for any news because we deserve better than what Moxey Morgan Jackett and Thelwell have offered. I just hope I am totally wrong and everything will still turn out well.

What do you readers think?



15 Jul 2016 03:18:30
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need pills!



14 Jul 2016 22:26:47
Spanish media who first reported the takeover saying the deal with Li collapsed, got a bad feeling now : (



14 Jul 2016 22:15:21
Funny how people are saying players like Powell and Duffy aren't good enough for us (assuming that the takeover happens) . They'd be amongst the most talented players to play for the club in recent years, just 'cause they aren't a lightweight Spaniard/ Brazilian/ Portugese winger doesn't mean they wouldn't be good enough. Let's try to remember, we're still in the Championship, we still have a sub par squad and we still have Jackett, Moxey and Morgan, and more importantly; Rotherham away is rapidly approaching.



14 Jul 2016 23:51:20
Yes Ndah, the stench of distant money has brought out the worst in many here. Suddenly boastful and arrogant, dismissing the current players as worthless too. They'll be much the same ones now writing the told you so, oh woe is me posts due to the latest reports from one Spanish paper. If it happens it'll be come on me babies, I was at Chorley, and the rest. It's all the EUs fault probably, 350 million quid extra per week for the Wolves squad and milk and honey for all.
Anyone remember the days of newspapers giving you the football news of the week in the Friday issue and you didn't know anything about anything until you read it then? Seems a good idea to me at present. Where are all the Tim spiers harrangers at the moment by the way? He is supposed to be shhht for not having written it's done deal yesterday. Maybe he might say it when it actually is done instead of because the teapot in the club restaurant toilets said. Or not. Who knows?



14 Jul 2016 22:11:27
Deal has been done! I've been asking around for ages, finally one of my mates (Arsenal Fan) has just phoned me and laughed that we are now richer than he is. Please believe me when I say I'm a real Wolves fan who lives in Guernsey (trust me there's a few of us) and my mate works in banking and used to be high up in sportingbet. Paul and Stu you CAN start thinking big, I know I am!



14 Jul 2016 22:17:10
Anything to confirm this or has your Arsenal fan mate just stumbled across an article online regarding the rumours?



14 Jul 2016 22:03:21
Tomorrow should be interesting, all ITK say it will go through tomorrow. Nobody mentioned Andy Lonergan coming, or K Mac potentially en route to Fulham.

Anyhow, a part of me wants to see a new owner but a part of me wants to see it be a farce as that is what it ha become.

So my roumour is that we're after Paddy McNair on loan with a view to a permanent deal.



14 Jul 2016 22:11:10
Anything to validate the McNair rumour orrr? Be a decent signing if it's true.



{Ed041's Note - he is seen as not good enough at Man Utd I hear.

14 Jul 2016 21:35:18
Who's going Crewe tomorrow then to wave goodbye to Jackett?

14 Jul 2016 22:24:29
I don't trust Steve Bruce in relation to transfer talk, especially in relation to us, Powell may be too much of an injury risk for a team looking to build progressively on strong foundations, that's why we got a look in, came to same conclusion, but Wigan needed to take a punt?



14 Jul 2016 22:27:20
Ffs. Are u people stupid. Money can not spend money if his boss won't give him money too spend. Grow up.



14 Jul 2016 21:17:43
Your stories on here make me laugh you all need to get a grip! If you are wolves you know things never go to plan when it happens then we can celerbate but for now it's off to mighty Crewe how many off you so called fans are going?



14 Jul 2016 21:31:33
I would but I'm working.



14 Jul 2016 21:38:49
I'll be there bro, going on my own 'cause everyone else is working. Hit me up for a pint guys, don't leave me as a lone wolf.



14 Jul 2016 21:06:33
Have patients, this deal is going to happen until then keep the faith.



{Ed003's Note - cheers doc. ;) }

14 Jul 2016 21:03:18
. the next sale starts Saturday 5am now that is fact.



14 Jul 2016 20:51:30
With the buyout bearing completion😴😴 by Robin Leo, multi billionaire. What are people's expevtations in regard to spend? What you you like and realistically what do you think will happen? FFP comes into affect as well so would you think £10m £20m would get us challenging or do you expect everything possible to get us up . If he doesn't spend big and still in same position will you start abuse in the Carpark and put us in the same boat 2-3 years down the line? Football fans are their own worst enemies sometimes us wolves fans included.



14 Jul 2016 20:33:48
Just keep the gold flag flying high. just with all the hype with conte conference and the open. Coverage off sky. It be timing when they do it. If jackett was sacked they always have someone to take charge of the game. There is no doubt in the takeover only sad people who try tampering with minds. Twitters as had huge hits. People around the country his watching this story as it will have worrying times for there players been taken. Everyone at wolves must wish it come out withvthe agro they get. We will support for wolves till thick and positive the owners will understand timing of getting a team together getting staff ext. Will get there don't worry. We have been in worse times. And survived.
Pride is ours dream bigger.
Stand up and be loud.



14 Jul 2016 20:52:59
Well that's as clear as mud.!



14 Jul 2016 20:19:53
Hi guys,

Long term reader, first time poster

Before anyone reads my question, I'm not trying to be negative or anything like that but I was wandering

Do people think the owner will want us to be the new city or do people think we will end up like QPR?

Again not trying to spread any doom or gloom, just wandering what people's thoughts were

UTW!



14 Jul 2016 21:12:32
I think eventually, we'll be the new Man U with their credibility, but approached with the slick efficiency that the Man City owner used. I'd say the new Chelsea, maybe as up market but I think more inclusive and real than them, so more genuinely heroic (like Man U) . I think we have the chance of best of all worlds, at least in and to suit the modern world.

I definitely don't think there's a chance we'll be like QPR, because this isn't about ego, Robin Li isn't trying to be the flash big man like the guy at QPR, he's clearly uber professional and slick. And the Chinese kind of literally own money, they effectively underwrite the dollar and all Western currencies. Robin Li is only going to get (much) wealthier, $11b now, maybe $50b or more ten yrs time?

Thinking about identity more and the comment we saw that the Posum Group (the consortium including Robin Li involved buying Milan) want Wolves to be their face in Europe, it makes total sense. AC Milan is a bad-ass badge in a way the Chinese might really like, it's apparently already big in China, I guess a bit for those reasons, I suspect they are buying Milan to exploit their home market. Whereas the Wolf is apparently the modern Chinese image for enterprise / competition, so maybe we'll be for the more modern progressive types in China, but mostly for the image of the Chinese overseas where they are competing. More I think about this the bigger and better this 'might' be.



14 jul 2016 19:47:29
well the times gone past 19/ 34, surprise again no news then,



14 Jul 2016 20:08:06
K Mac now staying at Wolves according to B and S report.
Has everything gone Tits Up!



14 Jul 2016 19:11:44
Can't believe my eyes!
I've actually just seen on HITC that wolves should go for. RVP, Joe Allen, Anderson Talisca and Ross McCormack. They are CRAZY.
If we even ATTEMPTED to sign players like that our club would go down the pon! Would all be for money!
I hope this takeover goes threw but I still think we should stick with the young and hungry approach for now!



14 Jul 2016 20:07:25
As long as we get 2 strikers, centre half and a couple of creative midfielders and full back I will be happy.



14 Jul 2016 17:44:31
while we are waiting for some real news. I have been fantasising about how the strip will look when we go global.

The colours stay obviously

The sponsor will be Baidu (in cool Manadarin script)

But the Badge. In my opinion it definitely needs an overhaul.

Maybe back to the three wolves? Not the crest urgghh.

any ideas?



14 Jul 2016 19:03:15
I would personally rather keep our current crest than go creating some Microsoft Paint mess. Just look at the pathetic efforts of Man City and West Ham recently; theirs are embarrassingly basic. I would however love to see us reintroduce the three wolves crest.



14 Jul 2016 19:08:47
Ace subject :-) I like the 3 Wolves running, it might be good for how Robin Li sees our identity, competing as a team, but not sure it could work as a breast placed badge, because now the middle of the shirt is needed for the sponsors name.

I have 2 favourite Wolves badges, the one from 1980, the big black Wolfhead without a border and the name as a semi-circle over it (cuz other than 3 wolves running, I think it is our strongest badge ever, has so much impact, it stamps itself into your head and must cause great brand recognition, even when playing, like when we won League Cup final against Forest it stands out) .

Or the wolf head in the shield with a half white half orange (gold) background, don't know year but it was on the Manders sponsored shirt. The wolf head is slightly longer / narrower and so finer / more elegant than currently, I like the shield shape because it screams heritage and class, and the half white / half orange background is like medieval, and again screams heritage and class. I think that's our poshest / most up market badge ever. I found an original of it in a flea market in Shrewsbury meant for a club blazer but never used, stitched with metallic gold thread, truly beautiful thing, good as a Ferrari badge.

Weird thing is, that Manders shirt with that badge always used to be for sale on the official WWFC website shop in Retro section, I checked just now to find out the year it was used and it's no longer on their website. Maybe it was unpopular, they sold out and didn't restock, or maybe that badge won't be so retro anymore?

I like the current Hexagon border, but I think it's limiting. It's like a wax stamp of authority, like being a master in your own realm. And the border is almost like city or castle / tower walls around the wolfhead, again like it's in its own realm. So on Academy etc, for WWFC in Wolverhampton, it's perfect. But for the playing shirt, for going out and competing, I'd prefer a traditional shield or no border at all, as per versions I like above.

However, I suspect the Chinese might like the hexagon shape, while it looks modern to us, maybe it looks traditional to them? And apparently in Chinese mysticism, it represents the 6 plains of 4 compass points, plus Heaven and Earth, or light and dark, so maybe even ties into out of darkness cometh light for them?

Will be very interesting to see how our identity goes. Looking at Baidu's logo colours, if they sponsor us I wouldn't be surprised to see our gold (orange) going more yellow or even metallic.

Can't see the City crest has a chance, it doesn't communicate anything I can think would be relevant to Robin Li (or any other non Wolverhampton born buyer) . I'm certain they will keep the wolf image in some form, as someone said it links to Baidu's paw logo and Chinese are apparently now into "wolf chic", because to them the wolf represents competing as a team for the benefit of its community, like a merge between old Chinese communism and modern Chinese enterprise. The wolf is seen as a (even the) symbol of the future in China :-)



14 Jul 2016 19:23:28
Hello Ulf. I Hadn't thought to looked at the Baidu Logo.

I have now and the paw fits well. loving it already.

It would be a big change but if the man is paying - It's his choice.



14 Jul 2016 19:54:28
I reckon we will keep the WWFC wolf head in some form (shield, hexagon, or no shield) , and it will match up with the Baidu paw with them as shirt sponsor, everything naturally fits so well :-) I reckon weem definitely going to be a big club now.

And noticed on Wolves website we now have another new sponsor, Nuffield Hospital (who service BUPA etc) . So posh private health care - it might be a desperate attempt by Wolves to counter balance what they now realise is very down market and urban Moneyshop and be nothing to do with new owner. Or it might be a sign of how Robin Li sees us going forward, as something upmarket. And that needn't be a bad thing, unlike the Baggies who are one dimensional, just sensible flat urban and sub-urban, the great thing about Wolves historically is it's inclusive of all types, so taking the image more upmarket would help the image and prosperity of the town, hopefully though without people feeling excluded / left behind. We can all be on the up with this :-)



14 Jul 2016 20:06:00
Would like the hexagon to be replaced with a shield with the iconic wolf head in the middle. Maybe something like West Ham's old badge with Wolverhampton Wanderers or simply Wolves written at the bottom. Would also like to see our strip being actual gold (like Tottenham Hotspurs 3rd kit) as opposed to the colours of Hull City.



14 Jul 2016 17:11:36
I wonder why people who claim they know what's going on or ITK. never actually get it right. As I football club we could be about to see something special let's just hope it's soon.



14 Jul 2016 16:27:40
The takeover could be confirmed after the transfer window so we can still sign players during the summer.



14 Jul 2016 15:47:31
Wonder if morgan regretting not asking for more and playing hard ball on asking price.? Sell up scouce and jog on.



14 Jul 2016 16:35:33
Perhaps SMorgan is demanding that to buy Wolves, Robin Li has to buy a Redrow house too? He agreed, the deal was sorted, Robin went to check his new pad but the door handle came off in his hand and he couldn't get in? Or maybe back out? Maybe he's trapped in a Redrow house desperate to say they can announce he's bought Wolves but just can't get there to tell them? This could be a job for Chubbs! (I mean the Wolves lock people, not Moxey) .



14 Jul 2016 15:40:28
Should Wolves fans be patient?

This is just a general wondering as to why are us fans being told to "be patient" on this takeover business.

Aren't we the people that really keep this club afloat? Aren't we the people that put the money in the Chairman's pockets? Aren't we the ones that go, loyally, into the Molineux and elsewhere week in, week out, watching poor football right before our very eyes?

I hate using this word, entitled. However, Wolves fans have been patient for ever so long with the Wolves, and I'm not talking over recent years. Yes, we had a 3 year stint in the Premier League, but those 3 years were not only in vain, but spent in worry and discontent. Therefore, I feel the fans are entitled to some news from the board. In fact, I wouldn't say news, I'd say some honesty. Something severely lacking during the tenure of Steve Morgan. We are at a point now which could either mean Wolves finally reach the heights of the glory days, which has been promised and never delivered for many a year throughout the Wolverhampton Wanderers hierarchy, or a risk of relegation and worse.

I'm not saying we need to know everything that's happened, and I understand the NDA in place. However, I do not believe it breaks any NDA for someone, like Jez, like Morgan, to come out and say we are in talks, full stop.

I think fans, in my opinion, are selling themselves short when they tell each other to be patient. You deserve more, we deserve more. We are the ones that will be here long after Morgan has buggered off back to Liverpool.

That's just my two cence.



14 Jul 2016 15:54:05
We know for a fact we are in talks with Robin Li, we must be, the E&S named him and put a photo of him up linking him, if we weren't in talks with him to buy the club, Wolves would have been obliged to tell E&S that at the very least Robin Li wasn't involved, out of good manners and to be seen as professional, because Robin Li wouldn't want the unwarranted attention and Wolves would look bad in his circles for allowing it.

And just google Robin Li now - it brings up top of the page tons of hits for rumours and for forums and E&S articles linking him to buying Wolves. He's co-founder of China's biggest search engine, his people will know precisely what's go on on google, particularly in relation to Robin Li's name. So they must know to some extent, if it wasn't true they'd deny it too.

And that Spanish Agent who started all the rumours who first named Robin Li etc, isn't going to spread false or dodgy rumours, his reputation is everything.

I'm certain it is happening, I bet it's already happened and they're just suiting themselves when it's announced, just a question of us waiting.



14 Jul 2016 15:37:10
Debra the sales assistant at the money shop down dudley says the deal will be done by tonight 7:34pm so just be patient.



14 Jul 2016 17:55:37
How does a sales assitant know she not the ceo of money shop.



14 Jul 2016 18:20:15
Has Debra met Rita I think they would really get on!



14 Jul 2016 15:31:37
What about all these 100% ITK posters Jim and The Realist are ones branded as the second comings, their so called sources have got all this wrong time and time again but as anything been said?



14 Jul 2016 16:56:15
Why are they wrong? Because it hasn't been announced doesn't mean it's not done? BELIEVE ITS HAPPENING 👍👍👍.



14 Jul 2016 14:28:09
If you read what Bully says today in the E and S you can see he is not too sympathetic with KJ i. e. he knows how things are in football "And the same goes for Kenny Jackett. There's no sympathy from me, Kenny's just got to get on with it.

Managers come and go - Kenny knows the routine.

He'll have known this might be a possibility since Steve Morgan put the club up for sale and until he's told otherwise he's got to prepare the players as best he can.
Bully knows KJ is going but maybe not when.



14 Jul 2016 15:38:40
I think Bully was trying to calm fans down where he could, there was a mounting tide of "you're not being fair to Kenny" from fans, and some of their take-over frustration was landing there and being further antagonised.

Bully is right, Kenny is on big money, they get that big money because as much as anything their jobs are insecure, just like all the footballers he didn't think were good enough / didn't fit his style and that he sidetracked. No ones doing anyone else favours at that level, it's a dog eat dog world where they can't really lose financially and have the chance to do what they love, sometimes only occasionally and with unemployment in between, sometimes all the time, it goes with the territory and they know it, they sign up for it.

But I agree, I think the opening line of Bully's piece that says you have to wait some more even after it's concrete, is double speak for - it is sorted and just waiting to be announced. And when it is Kenny will quite reasonably be surplus to requirements because owners will want to do things their own way, without that reflecting negatively on Kenny.



14 Jul 2016 14:16:40
My source informs me that nobody actually has the faintest bloody idea what is happening.

Honestly - some of the crap on here is mind blowing.

My source also informs me that the club MAY be sold and, that it MAY NOT be sold, in the near or distant future.

He/ She couldn't confirm timelines for any of the above.

Back to work everybody.



14 Jul 2016 14:06:25
The reality is no one knows other than Morgan, Moxey and the buyer/ buyers. If it's a nda, then I can't imagine Morgan or Moxey telling anyone, they will keep there cards close to their chest and same must go for the buyers I'd imagine. Only way it could leak out is when a press conference needs to be arranged or direct from the horses mouth.



14 Jul 2016 13:40:52
Shepherd you talk the most bllox out of everyone on here. according to you the announcement was happening nearly 2 weeks ago. Stop pretending you know people and have your connections. Realistically villas fit and proper took 3 weeks. But they probably had to do a more thorough check on his finances since his wealth was a bit more unknown. Our will prob run smoother by a week or so. And with it being through mended expect a few transfers have been pretty arranged but doubt we'll get official news till mid next week at least.



14 Jul 2016 15:29:49
Tbf to Shepherd he didn't as it wasnt even news 2 weeks ago, but what about these so ITK posters Jim and The Realist got all their source info wrong but nothing said?



14 Jul 2016 15:48:26
Go back and check my posts, youll find i'm the only one whos got everything right and never changed, and I wasnt on here 2 weeks ago 😂.



14 Jul 2016 13:30:49
Its been to quiet.



14 Jul 2016 13:26:56
Ok, I am not in the know but I am a Wolves Supporter and here is my take on things.

(1) Yes I believe the takeover has or is very close to being announced
(2) In relation to point 1 I actually think that it has already been agreed and has already happened
(3) If I was in a position of buying the club (and I was a multi billionaire) then surely the minute this is announced the price for any player we are interested in goes up by 25% (at least) !
So, why not try and get the business done now then announce when the players are in place

Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride folks!



14 Jul 2016 14:10:53
Totally agree RV I think most things will be in place before K. O. like I keep saying think positive let's enjoy the ride, after last year anything as got to be better, that football we tried to play last year if you can call it football was absolute rubbish, every home game was like watching paint dry, Kenny was asking for the sack playing 1 up front at home when we wolves fans have been brought up with attacking football at home win or lose.



14 Jul 2016 15:02:21
RV that is the most sensible suggestion I have seen on here for 2 weeks, well said.



14 Jul 2016 12:30:59
Its looking increasingly likely that Kenny leads the team to Ireland. What's going to happen if take over goes through when the lads are there? Can't see them sacking Kenny half way through a tour? Also if we bring players in they aren't going to be present in the bulk of preseason. I can see not a lot of Change happening IMO.



14 Jul 2016 12:49:20
Tommy,
Of course they wouldn't sack Kenny halfway through a tour. If takeover is confirmed while the team is in Ireland, Kenny would be caretaker coach until he's officially sacked.



14 Jul 2016 13:04:46
Makes a bit of sense, also makes the pre season tour redundant.



14 Jul 2016 13:07:49
All a hoax. work it out. Kenny will still b in charge at start of season.

Dunno about a hoax but I think Lenny will be in charge start of the season and we will see no transfers.



14 Jul 2016 12:27:12
just googled Robin Li his spouse is called babbette Moxey.

is this a sign.



14 Jul 2016 13:45:56
I'd say yes, it's more of our good fortune, it means there won't need to be a hand over of the catering contract, which should significantly speed up the deal being completed. Can you imagine the length of fit and proper process a new caterer would have to go through with Moxey before being approved, how much taste testing there'd have to be?



14 Jul 2016 14:10:30
Do you seriously believe that? Incase you didn't know, Wikipedia can be edited.



14 Jul 2016 12:16:03
When we see wolves on express and star then get excited. if it's to good to be true it normally is .



14 Jul 2016 12:11:59
It won't be today we just have to wait.



14 Jul 2016 12:04:08
Why are people so surprised that Moxey hasn't made any statements about the alleged takeover? He must know that most Wolves fans dislike/ hate/ loathe him so of course he will be quite happy to keep us waiting as long as possible for any scraps of news rather than tell us anything. Perhaps he's enjoying all this gnashing of teeth and crying for news as he quite possibly dislikes the Wolves fans as much as they hate him.



14 Jul 2016 11:52:55
Looking for a site called "Wolves facts". it's an impossible pastime.



14 Jul 2016 11:51:22
sports mole just reporting a deal announcement this pm, just a thought maybe we should stop slagging off jez + we may get a bit more info?



14 Jul 2016 13:04:59
Stop slagging off jez! , he's the main reason this club has not moved on, penny pinching muppett.



14 Jul 2016 13:42:18
slagging off Moxey is the only entertainment value and satisfaction most Wolves fans get out of their club though. And I'm sure he must like it, he certainly does enough to encourage it.

And I'd bet on announcement late this afternoon. I realise the business people probably won't care, but their audience of ordinary people in China might (assuming there is an audience there yet) , and 14th is a really bad number for them. But they are 7hrs ahead, so if we got the announcement at say 5.30pm on the Wolves site today, 14th here it would be 15th in China, which is a very lucky number.

There, a completely not in the know insight that will cause stress later :-)



14 Jul 2016 09:40:21
Just to confirm there will be no press release or annoucement to be made today, sorry folks.



14 Jul 2016 11:18:32
Any more news when it might happen then?



14 Jul 2016 10:40:45
Anyone want to know how a takeover works all the stuff? Listen to this 1hour 18 mins in.

MOXEY WATCH

Just a update, no announcement this morning because I just saw Jez in McDonalds eating a double sausage McMuffin Meal. He is a messy bugger, he's got ketchup down his shirt. this might take some time.



14 Jul 2016 10:00:12
But by this afternoon (after tensese and elevenses and an extended lunch) Moxey's shirt is likely to be so covered in splatter he'll be able to pretend it's a hugely expensive Jackson Pollack original piece of art, on a shirt, and he'll be good to go in front of the camera's:-)



14 Jul 2016 10:10:39
The pr from wolves is crap is it really so hard too just make a simple statement saying yes we being taken over and a statement will be released with more details in due course instead just not even acknowledge that anything is happening full stop were not stupid but being treated by club like we are.



14 Jul 2016 07:45:02
Everyday it's tomorrow does anybody know what's happening apart from moxey.



14 Jul 2016 08:11:25
Yes the people who will be pulling Moxeys strings of course.
Us little people will be the last to know.



14 Jul 2016 10:43:56
Just heard Marmite are after Moxey they want him to be Director saying that you either like him or you don't will be a good investment slogan.



14 Jul 2016 07:18:35
These are my thoughts.

1. Nothing will be announced until Jackett has gone. They are hardly going to have a press conference going on about the future of the club and its new management with Jackett still in the job. So I reckon the first sign of it all happening will be an announcement that Jackett has left by mutual consent. When this might be we have no idea.

2. If Mendes is as highly involved as we are lead to believe then it opens the door to many quality players. But let's not kid ourselves here. We will be used as a stepping stone to introduce these players to English football. I suspect a lot of the incoming players will be on loan. i'm not against this if they are quality players.

3. Make no bones about it. We are going into partnership with AC Milan. We WILL be picking up there fringe/ young players as they gain first team experience. Again, i'm not against this. Just as long as we are progressing and making our way back to the Premier.

4. I think the MASSIVE investment will come as and when we get to the Premier. If i'm honest, I don't think that will be this season. I think it might take 2/ 3 seasons. But it will come. I was a fan of Solbakken. We must not panic like we did with him. It will take a lot of time to restructure and change the playing ideas and attitudes. We would NOT have been relegated if we had stayed with Stale, so hopefully, as fans we have learnt from that.

5. We are all Wolves fans. That what we have in our hearts. let's be patient now, let's be patient in the early days and let's be patient if it doesn't all click in the first season. This is the biggest thing to happen to our club. EVER. let's get behind the owner, the management and of course the players. Its going to take time. But, oh my word, this is just so exciting. Bring it on. let's embrace it. let's have lots of fun. And most importantly, let's unite for our fantastic beloved football club. UP THE WOLVES.



14 Jul 2016 07:59:18
Tom,
Agree with everything you say except timing. The announcement will be made, regardless of Kenny Jackett's situation. He can be caretaker coach if need be when the announcement is made, probably today. He may well take the team to Ireland for pre-season.



14 Jul 2016 08:16:49
Wise words Tom only thing I disagree with is KJ and Deep has dealt with that.
I only how that the majority of Wolves could read this and understand it, but we all know we have a nucleus whose patience is always paper thin as they think they are playing Championship Manager on their PC's.



14 Jul 2016 08:19:17
Good post. Not posted for a bit as just trying not to get drawn into the whole thing until it's announced but it's getting harder by the day. Fingers crossed that Wolves blog is accurate.



14 Jul 2016 08:43:25
Didn't it take Villa about 3 weeks from when papers were sent to the F. A.? Might be more accurate time span, that's why nothing close pending anoucment.



14 Jul 2016 09:47:42
I think we have better more patient fans than we think, maybe than we've been misled into believing by Wolves / Moxey's PR machine.

In the past our fans have got frustrated, due to an absence of long term vision and ongoing clown like administration. We supposedly had vision under Morgan - but what was it? Our players would be lowest paid in the league, we'd cling on to the edge of the Prem, if we're lucky we could end up like urban Everton. Then ooh you complained about us not employing a Pro Manager and instead appointing Terry Conner, ooh that didn't work so we take a last minute punt on Stale then don't give him time and replace him with Saunders, we end up double relegated, our fans are so bad. Ooh you shouted at Morgan at Preston for not replacing Sako after we promised we would, thus throwing the season.

The only really distinct thing about our fans is they have relentless passion and desire for success. It's our engine that in the right hands, will help propel us forward and upwards. It's a good thing that previously has been mismanaged, even exploited to hide our administrations often quite extreme short-comings and failures.



14 Jul 2016 06:43:12
Chinese lager half price in ASDA. Is it a sign!



14 Jul 2016 01:33:01
We have apparently dropped out the race for Pogba. Messi is looking unlikely and Ronaldo is Still due for his medical Monday after the takeover is confirmed Today. Thank god for Mendes. The most powerful man in football 🙏🏽.



14 Jul 2016 06:33:08
Same old wolves, drag their heels and let them sign for Accrington Stanley! Money and Morgan strike again. Need to organise a protest! Going knowhere with these clowns in charge! I just can't see this takeover happening, that leaves us with only one fit striker. We are definitely going down this season.!



14 Jul 2016 08:18:30
Hooray.



14 Jul 2016 01:06:14
Let's clarify a few things, these are not my opinions just facts.
1. Everyone hates moxey?
2, practically everyone loved sir jack?

Who bought moxey to the club?
Yes that's right sir jack!

Now he didn't bring him for his football skills but his buisiness skills at a time when we were over spending sir jacks millions on quite frankly over priced players.

In steps jez, steadies the ship and overnight we're not the fools in the transfer market we once were, his best bit of business? Fletcher Jarvis and knightly, bought collectively for around 8 million, sold for around 25 million, also ask yourselves what those players are worth now? True the money didn't go bk into the club but that's down to the owner.



14 Jul 2016 07:19:32
I agree Moxey love him or hate him is good at his job and acts under the order of his bosses. I am sure he will continue to provide Mr Li and co with a continued level of diligence in his position. What I find distastful about the guy is the way he is not satisfied with his inflated salary and bonuses he has to award the catering and I am sure other money making scams to his wife. I am sure no due diligance was done on that tender process. I suspect he will be watched more closly under the new regieme but wonder what he negosiated for himself along the way? I have repeatedly slagged Therwell but if you believe all the news Mendes has given him a list of players to look at. Have I been unkind previously given the budget he has had to work with whilst scouting players, I suspect time will tell. But if a top adgent was telling you or I what to look for I recon we might do the job just as well. Lastly KJ he did a job in his first 2 seasons just like he did a Milwall, last year the football tetered on Pub football at times with a totally inept plan B, C or D for that matter. Thanks KJ for your efforts I am sure you will enjoy your pay off and find a job in the lower divisions where you are best suited.



14 Jul 2016 08:08:36
Once this takeover is complete the club will need a period of transition, that's why, Li and his board will keep the likes of Moxey, who knows the day to day workings of the club, at the club, albeit for the time being.



14 Jul 2016 00:56:32
The season ahead is a marathon not a sprint. IF and it's an unconfirmed if at the moment, but if all true and new players and coaching staff waiting in wings then we will be ok.



14 Jul 2016 00:28:57
I'm bored of this now.



13 Jul 2016 23:57:04
No announcement to be made tomorrow.



14 Jul 2016 00:52:52
The season is a marathon not a sprint, if it's all true and the rumoured players and coaching staff are coming in then we will catch up in a month.



13 Jul 2016 23:55:51
No announcement tomorrow.
