We will now see if it is the sheff weds gaffer they've been waitin for?



18 May 2017 00:02:34
Or the reading one . another week lolol.



17 May 2017 21:55:45
Some fans are critcising the E&S for starting all of this but it was the Telegraph that broke the story not E&S.
This has been suggested to be the work of PL and his pal Percy is it? Who works for the Telegraph. I can see Fosun pouncing on this and shutting him up with a gagging order as part of his pay off. OK fair enough but why do they need to do that?
Gag him why?
The rest makes no sense at all either. If he's gone he's gone just press conference it or press release with usual stuff about a successor being sort.
So why the silence?
Is there "Something rotten in the state of Denmark (China)?
Is Jeff Shi being hauled over he coals?
Or is he fighting his corner and attempting to convince the powers that be that what he said in his last full interview is the best way forward?
This would make some sense as to the total silence from the club.
They must know about the high level of agitation from the fans and from some of the press. Therefore is the transfer rumours a poor attempt to make things look normal?
There is only WWFC who could turn a potential change of coach into a full blown crisis.



17 May 2017 23:08:12
A crisis? Bit dramatic that! It's May our first league fixture isn't till August! What people are findin strange is the wall of silence from Fosun, before people have always got snippets of what's going on behind the scenes, just shows how unprofessional Lambert and his cronies have been leakin stuff to his mate Percy! If I was Fosun I'd of sacked him just for that never mind him bein a borin tactically inept coach who's thrown his toys out the pram because he hasn't got his own way! Really hope he's gone and the coachin staff and Thelwell!



18 May 2017 09:23:17
Why do you incessantly go on about Lambert?
What is happening is bigger than that. I believe Lambert has gone, compensated plus a gagging order.



18 May 2017 10:04:05
Hope so.



18 May 2017 10:05:26
And il keep going on about him till I'm 100% positive he's not at Wolves!



17 May 2017 20:29:29
I would say Graham Costa Doherty zyro and Marshall are the only players worth keeping the rest can go to Walsall for free dicko can stay if he remembers how he used to play if not tat ta.



17 May 2017 20:39:47
Doherty really, nowhere near good enough as a defender.



17 May 2017 18:45:56
Twice we have had the luxury of being able to spend money in this league and have blown it twice. (Solbakkon and zenga) please don't do it again .



17 May 2017 22:47:14
Wolf that's because pokey could not get money back on Doyle Johnson ohara.



18 May 2017 06:16:42
Wednesfield, two weeks ago you were advocating spend, spend, spend. Has the nurse changed your medication?



17 May 2017 18:43:30
I really can't believe were talking about forien managers. lambert was left to sort zenga mess who did not have a clue. we also still have a lot of league 1 players who have done how been very lucky to stay and will be very hard to sell. dave Edwards is our star man in midfield that says it all. we have changed managers too many times you could put furgusson in charge of that lot and we would still be bored. now give Lambert the chance to bring players in. and spend the money that was the whole point of the excitement last summer.



18 May 2017 00:24:52
How many foreign coaches finished in the top six of the championship this season?
How many foreign coaches will be promoted this season?



17 May 2017 15:10:11
We will have a new director of football, new coach, new backroom team, new club sponsors, new kit producers and a huge change in personnel.

Have many players are good enough for the top two of the championship?



17 May 2017 15:21:25
Hope your right Eogg 52. 👍 Graham and Costa are the only ones good enough to play regularly in a Championship promotion side.



17 May 2017 15:39:33
If he comes back from the injury, I would add Zyro to that small list.



17 May 2017 18:15:58
Zyro! Based on what? I think this is a case of absence making the heart grow fonder.



17 May 2017 22:01:00
Based on the fact that he scored 3 goals in few games whilst being played out of position. He had reasonable pace, strength and composure. Yes it was only a short period of time we saw him, but he performed. Why wouldn't we keep him?



17 May 2017 15:01:20
I think that Fosun will take their time and look at the level of investment they need to make and the type of manager that will attract players.

I think you will see Thelwell go as part of this process. They probably realise they need to spend 50 million to get into the premier league.

All the moaninh about Fosun is beyond me, they are a massive business beyond our imagination. They will be looking how to deal with Financial Fair play as well as the inability of the club to attract more fans to home games.



17 May 2017 15:22:56
Good post Eogg52. 👍.



17 May 2017 15:39:41
They have a different culture than we do and we should respect that.

The home form will have disappointed them as these were games fed back to China and some where awful. We need to be entertained at home not bored.

They will be aiming for top 8 of the premier league and that will involve £ 250 million from where we are.

Paul lambert is a nice guy and passionate but he will never attract the type of players we need.

I think the role of Butti last year was more involved than Mendes.

We will have really exciting times once they have got the structure right, remember the president of China is encouraging investment in Football so its important to Fosun.



17 May 2017 17:08:57
Eogg52, just been reading a few of your posts, and I have to say.

You don't half talk sense. Where have you been hiding?

Nice to have some posts on here that actually do make a lot of sense.



17 May 2017 22:31:28
I can agree with a lot of that.
They talked of a three year project. They had next to zero experience or exposure to the sport or league before this term and they will have learnt an awful lot from the past 12 months.
My guess is that next year will be yet another stepping stone, a clear out and restructure followed by a half decent year. Then a huge effort the following year. That's four transfer windows before promotion, a chance to play within FFP regs and a chance to bed down.
As I say, 'my guess' but anything could happen in the next two weeks!



17 May 2017 08:49:46
You probably seen the article tim has put up this morning on the manager front however it does that discussions with potential transfer targets are ongoing despite the manager situation, it said Ipswich GK Bialkowski, Jason Steele, however no denials to hugill, abaraham (who unless mendes uses his contacts to Chelsea we won't get) Hanley and tom Lawerence, so are these transfer still happening then? As I think they are.



17 May 2017 09:07:07
I don't think anyone knows anything at the moment Matt, it's all guess work. I know it's doing our heads in but fair play to Fosun for keepin things in house apart from the snippets Lambert and his people leaked which will be his downfall.



17 May 2017 12:07:05
I wasn't aware that Lambert had made any public announcements.



17 May 2017 12:36:45
The most important impending signing for us is a proven new Quality Manager and coaching support! One with a good reputation, who has knowledge of our leagues premier and championship and who has the pulling power to attract the quality players we clearly need to aspire to move up and onwards! A clear and proper thought out strategy to work to to take us forward! ⚽️👍😉.



17 May 2017 12:57:48
percy at the Telegraph, who fed him info, it certainly wouldn't of been Fosun. Lamberts camp have done it before at Blackburn and Villa, his egos bigger than his stature! Really hope he's gone, I don't want to go to games next season not carin if we win or lose. LAMBERT OUT!



17 May 2017 06:50:10
Here we go again. another day on the joke merry go round that is wolves. whether or not things are going on behind the scenes we've turned into a laughing stock again. players being chosen by the owners best mate whose hardly ever there and creaming money off the deals but what surprises me most is I thought at least the club would be run right because the Chinese are thorough and meticulous in there business. how wrong I was. its as bad as it's ever been.



17 May 2017 08:22:00
Timtoo I'd rather they be meticulous and thorough, there is no major rush. They must get this restructure right and I believe they will. No point bringin in a new coach and leavin coachin staff and Thelwell here as everything will go the same way by Christmas. The Futures Bright The Futures Fosun.



17 May 2017 08:43:06
My guess is that Fosun would like PL to stay but need to balance his role with that of Mendes to the satisfaction of all parties.



17 May 2017 08:50:05
Hope your right.



17 May 2017 09:02:28
PT . don't normally agree with you but there is no rush as long as the manager appointed in time to sign players and for pre season. nobody knows if Lambert has gone however I believe he has. the reasons are the silence from Moline and Lambert also when Thelwell announced the u23 leaving list. he mentioned discussions with Sellars and development team but not Lambert. I don't think Karanka is under consideration as this could be done immediately. so believe delay is due to waiting for Silva or Carvalhal. I believe Carvalhal is the likeliest appointment as he has on knowledge of the championship, he's Portuguese and a Mendes client. we may have to wait until after the playoff final if SW get there.



17 May 2017 09:21:38
Think your right Sedgley Pete, as sheff boss is leavin promoted or not. Let's hope sheff lose tonight to see if we're right.



17 May 2017 14:48:02
Sedgley and PT sound words gents comcidering most of the rubbish onhere currently. My money if I was a gambling man would be Silva I certainly hope it is. My worry is Therwell is Jeff so blind to the fact the guy should not be at the club let alone now looking at transfers into the club. His record is appalling, you only have to look at today press to see what we are now linked with.



17 May 2017 14:50:17
Monday or Tuesday next week I think our destiny will become clearer in terms of structure and Head coach. But don't be surprised to see Therwell live on for another day before his reckoning comes.
