Use our rumours form to send us wolves transfer rumours.


(single word yields best result)

25 Jul 2016 23:51:17
Just imagine if KJ had walked mid - season with the club for sale and no investment, 2 M's would have had to choose a new manager/ head coach, would be starting this season back in League One and wouldn't have been sold. Fill the Mol, get behind the team and give Kenny a break.



26 Jul 2016 07:34:11
Did any journalists ask Jeff about the Robin Li link? I don’t see how he could be involved as Fosun have bought the club 100%, but it would have been nice to just get it fully clarified and put the rumour to bed.



26 Jul 2016 08:36:47
Clive I reckon Robin li put in 4 us but fosun offered bit more money if u read 1 article it says they gave Morgan 5 mil for his trouble.



25 Jul 2016 23:42:27
Peter crouch and dicko would do me fine and mason 2 feed of him?



25 Jul 2016 23:39:02
Hi guys new 2 site.



{Ed003's Note - Welcome.}

25 Jul 2016 23:58:31
Cheers pal.



25 Jul 2016 23:31:00
Long term fan, first game 1965 as a small boy. First time comment.
I just watched the full press conference.
This is a dream for Wolves.
Expecting more than this kind of acquisition is simple naive.
Be happy people.
It will take a while, but we are on our way.
UTW.



25 Jul 2016 23:26:45
I hope Jeff Shi is astute at identifying the new players has how he addressed Moxey today, during the interview he addressed Moxey as "Jiz" absolutely bang on judgement in such a short time frame Mr Shi πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.



26 Jul 2016 10:21:53
πŸˆ΅γŠ™οΈπŸ˜ŽπŸ€“πŸ˜„πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ƒπŸ™‚πŸ™ƒπŸ˜Ί.



25 Jul 2016 22:26:49
I'm not convinced KJ is staying I think he's still a stop gap whilst new owners find a replacement for both him and Moxey. In no part of the Jeff Shi interview does he say KJ is the boss they want just that he has had two discussions about the squad with KJ and they agree that it is unbalanced and short of a few numbers. I'd actually like KJ to be given a chance with some new recruits but I think the club is still looking for a new manager.



25 Jul 2016 23:08:36
I agree. Until such time we have to go with the flow. We need some stability. Cannot change the whole structure at once. We need to bide our time and get it right. I'm sure they will get the right coach/ manager as and when they are available. There targets may already be with a club and involve compensation. That takes time.



26 Jul 2016 01:20:18
Cant agree more, Fosun were geared up for Lopetegui, They want a high profile appointment, Jackett does not match that criteria, neither would the others mentioned as possible replacements ie Bruce or Martinez.

As soon as the right replacement is found then then it will be Bye Bye to KJ, Without a replacement they had no choice but to run with him.

Upwards and onward.



25 Jul 2016 20:53:08
I have just come in from work, yet to see outcome from press conference, so thought I would check out the banter. I agree about KJ, he knows the players, the league and what's required. We cannot change managers with 2 weeks to go. to risky! Even if Lopie had took the job the same would apply to him. Let's get off his back, get behind him the team and owners. Negativity before we have started this journey is of no use to anyone. It's not going to be an easy ride but we must get behind the club. This is our club, let's be proud.



25 Jul 2016 21:13:06
Totally agree mate no1 really nose wht kj can do with money and I no people were saying mason 3m I don't believe tht was his signing and don't believe it was 3m.



25 Jul 2016 21:41:28
Good comments we do need to get behind team and Kenny at this present time though he needs to get is team attacking more and stop being to defensive he as been given another life line and Kenny you must learn by your mistakes or you will be gone let's all enjoy the ride and see if we can give it a real good go.



25 Jul 2016 22:31:10
Although I agree with the above posts saying that we should get behind Kenny, I don't understand how everyone has got the idea that he is staying. Jeff could not have been more vague at the press conference saying that he had not thought about the coach's position as he had been concentrating on the purchase.
Kenny will be gone within a week.



25 Jul 2016 22:52:11
I think everyone is forgetting this is the manager who won 4 games out the last 20!
Come on!



25 Jul 2016 20:35:37
Have to say really impressed with what "big jeff" has to say so refreshing hear owner who so early on in relationship with club seems have a clear understanding what club means to fans and city -get impression doesn't settle for also runs only the best will do - great that likes banks bitter also can't imagine morgan havin a pint - really do get impression that his passion for game going make him huge success with fans csn imagine he celebrate goals as well as any fan does let's hope he gets the quality this team needs to be a success -wolves is ay-shi is wolves.



25 Jul 2016 20:16:14
Stoke just signed joe allen would love to see charlie adam at wolves.



25 Jul 2016 21:24:06
Lmao is that a joke. were billionaires and the best you've got is Charlie Adam.



26 Jul 2016 05:01:56
Were also still in the championship be realistic.



25 Jul 2016 17:55:46
Morgan bought the club in 2007 for 10 million pounds, alongside a guaranteed investment of 30 million pounds. But the Wolves, as the team is known, spent only three of the past nine seasons in the top-flight Premier League -- from 2009 to 2012, when the club was relegated to the Championship. It was subsequently relegated another tier down, before making it back to the Championship in 2014.

Don't think the Chinese believe it was just Β£10.



25 Jul 2016 17:09:29
Wolves linked to ola john he looks good . does anybody know when graham is bk.



25 Jul 2016 17:04:53
Than you mr Shi. U have restored hope and pride to my beloved club. Good and exciting times ahead. Even with KJ still in charge.



25 Jul 2016 17:50:21
Well said my friend.



25 Jul 2016 18:10:39
KJ staying is a bit like Brexit - some want it some don't. Like Brexit, KJ is what we have and we need to get behind him and the team and make it work. We have only really seen KJ with an injury-ridden side with no money to spend. Let's see how he does with money to spend and a bigger squad. Just hope the quality of football improves and he plays everyone in the right place. We'll see.



25 Jul 2016 16:35:28
Jeff Shi, says in express and star video he is wanting to surprise the fans with signings and Sako is not playing for Crystal Palace tonight in friendly. coincidence?



25 Jul 2016 17:04:53
Sako has been injured for some time.
Whilst KJ will be provide with transfer funds I very much doubt he would be allowed to pay Sako 50k per week or anyone else for that matter.



25 Jul 2016 18:17:42
Don't want Sako back out of contract or not at the time he still walked away from us, time to move on from the past and look to the future.



25 Jul 2016 18:51:32
Better out there than Sako.



25 Jul 2016 16:08:26
So excited now. Even if they do spend 30m in the next two years, still more money than we've spent on players in the last 10 years. Exciting football could be back on the table.

I have no doubt that if we get to January and we're not well in reach of the playoffs, Jackett, having brought in the players he wants with a reasonable budget for the first time in his career, then he'll be gone. Here's hoping everything comes together and in a couple of years time Jackett is being hailed a genius.



25 Jul 2016 17:09:20
We will spend a lot more than 30 mill.



25 Jul 2016 16:01:49
5-8 players to be brought in by the end of the transfer window.



25 Jul 2016 15:35:40
Well time to be sensible buy players tht can perform in this league Pritchard mccormack get sako bk looking forward to Graham coming bk to happy days.



25 Jul 2016 15:57:41
Yes get Sako back, get another quick forward, a ball playing midfielder and ball winning midfielder and a solid centre back with zyro and Graham will be good.



25 Jul 2016 20:14:39
Sako, Pritchard and McCormack or Bamford will do for starters.



25 Jul 2016 14:56:43
We should be in for Alex Pritchard from spurs, he's available for 8mil, swansea are interested, also newcastle and norwich. come on wolves, make a statement.



25 Jul 2016 14:44:25
I will put my heart on my sleeve and say why all the negativity? Morgan is gone, moxey is just squeezing out the door with some vase line and a shoehorn and we have real money behind us. Ok Ok we did massively underperform last year but we lost sako, dicko, afobe and Graham to injury or greed. Now I bet you if you lot get off your seats and get behind jackett and the team then at least there is nowhere to hide for kj if it goes tit's up. What a fantastic day for wolves! Just wish my grandad could see it 😒😒😒😒.



25 Jul 2016 14:55:20
Good fortune clearly follows the man to have us in the position we are in from when he took over. So too right let's see how far his luck carries us.



25 Jul 2016 14:29:29
After the press conference and seeing the video on E&S I have to say i'm feeling the most excited I think I ever have about the the future of the club.

I know a lot won't be happy about Kenny staying on but it seems sensible. Clearly Lopetegui was coming in, they don't just want to rush it and sack a manager less than 2 weeks before the season kicks off.

Give Kenny 3 months with a good squad and it's now up him to prove he's up to it or he's gone.

Exciting times ahead.



25 Jul 2016 14:20:22
Alex Pritchard was not taken on Spurs pre season trip to Australia and is expected to leave the club this summer. Yes please.



25 Jul 2016 14:33:06
Yes to that one. Shouldn't break the bank either.



25 Jul 2016 14:15:32
Things are exactly as they are meant to be. I for 1 am glad we missed out on the playoffs 2 years ago and had a poor season last year. Else we might now be in the premier league with sm still in charge and still not spending. Whenever we get promoted. I like to think we'll be ready and in our best ever position to move forward. let's enjoy the year to come all. Good things lay ahead.



25 Jul 2016 15:15:31
Good point Jay.



25 Jul 2016 14:13:21
Time to get behind KJ and the squad now, if the owners are keeping him on then it's up to us to make some noise up the mol on match day, with the players they are looking to bring in, we should be OK once they have settled.
I'll guess he's only got a handful of games to convince the board not to pull the trigger on him, he clearly isn't the man they wanted'but the club is more important than what we or they envisaged, manager wise'and I think the fact that they haven't sacked him this late on, bodes well.
Let's reserve judgement on the bloke now until he's 8 or 10 games into the season. C o m B.



25 Jul 2016 14:04:48
Just bumped into a West Brom fan in the shop. Talking about the takeover, I couldn't help but tell him that "we'm considerably more richer than yaw" 😏.



25 Jul 2016 14:31:41
being saying that round work to all the Tesco blue nose and villa fans since last week.



25 Jul 2016 15:14:02
Penk, watch that doesn't come back to bit u on the arse!



25 Jul 2016 13:54:27
Time to get behind jacket! No excuses now he's has the money.



25 Jul 2016 14:16:33
I'm one of his biggest critics, but I couldn't agree more.

I will "take one for the team" and get behind him and Wolves.



25 Jul 2016 13:34:40
Hi All.
Now the Shackles are off KJ will be given 10 games to prove himself.5 new players are being lined up from Benfica Loans and or Purchase. Got this info 30mins ago from a relative of KJ . No not second cousin twice removed lol.



25 Jul 2016 14:11:34
You can't blame Kenny for last year no money and a massive injury list. Give him some money see what he can do. We need to get behind the team instead of keep slating them every time something goes wrong.



25 Jul 2016 13:32:39
Let's get behind kj.



25 Jul 2016 13:08:09
Makes perfect sense to keep Kenny on at this stage. Season is fast approaching, give Kenny the opportunity to steady the ship. He will know his time is limited and any slight dip in form could cost him. But let's give him a chance. There is a lot of change going on at Moleniux. It would be far too much at this stage to bring in 5-8 new players, a new manager and new owners, CEO, backroom staff etc. Allow the likes of Jeff and Mendes sort our transfer targets, asap, and allow Jackett to get us some points on the board until a plan is set in stone. At least 2 top defenders, 2 wingers, at least one maybe two goalscorers and lethal finishers.



25 Jul 2016 13:21:21
We need midfielders.



25 Jul 2016 13:27:10
Agree with all that Tipton. It won't be a universally popular decision to stick with KJ, but it's done and we need to be behind him. Just hoping they can get some signings made this week, we have very little time to integrate new players in ahead of Rotherham.



25 Jul 2016 13:01:33
Let's go for it then FWAW.



25 Jul 2016 12:52:15
So now all of us on here can have some fun. Money is available so who are the players we would like recruited? Sounds like Fosun might be listening in.



25 Jul 2016 13:12:32
I would like to see a proven championship goal scorer e. g. Ross McCormack, also and quality number 10, and a winger who has a proven record of assists and can chip in with a few goals.



25 Jul 2016 13:52:35
However they do it, I suggest they need to make a statement of intent. Many thought they'd do that with the manager, they've stuck with Kenny. So they need to get other players interested and fans excited - nothing too flash. McCormack for Β£10mil would start the ball rolling or someone of his ilk. Once players see the plan they'll want to come and be involved.



25 Jul 2016 12:49:34
So kj survives he had be on borrowed time - this decision hopefully won't split fans but do know he not universal popular among us the decision been made so let's put differences apart and all pull together remember kj must know if gets this wrong he's out time see what u made off kj.



25 Jul 2016 12:29:17
Shi on transfers: "I talked to Kenny, Kevin and Jez, we have 5/ 6 weeks, we want several players. Maybe 5-8 players. "
- From Tim spiers Twitter feed of the Press conference.

Also Kenny is staying.



25 Jul 2016 12:53:51
This looks good to me, Kenny not at conferences so don't think he will be there long if results don't come, mendes is his mate and will be one of wolves agents, good times ahead I think.



25 Jul 2016 12:19:45
Jacket has the full backing of the new owners. oh dear. New dawn, pah.



25 Jul 2016 12:25:42
Shi confirms KJ to stay on. No new dawn then folks!



25 Jul 2016 12:25:59
Their first mistake, I'm sure they will wise up soon enough. Till then onwards and hopefully upwards, I won't be postin again till he's gone. By keepin him it has diluted the takeover massively imo.



25 Jul 2016 12:27:16
Sounds like thelwell staying too!



25 Jul 2016 12:28:34
What the hecks it got to do with money how many players we need, he's off to Norwich, good riddance.



25 Jul 2016 12:45:52
Moxey#.



25 Jul 2016 12:49:12
So Zippy and Bumble are staying! Well that's ruined MY day.



25 Jul 2016 13:00:39
What's wrong with you all. we have new owners who will invest whatever it takes to get promotion.5 - 8 new players coming in. and as they stated quality players. just get behind the team and support them. stop the continuous moaning. KJ will be judged on results and forum will not tolerate failure . Mendes is advisor to Jeff so we will get quality players. so for gods sake stop moaning and support the team.



25 Jul 2016 13:07:57
Nice one Sedgley pete.



25 Jul 2016 13:28:48
I feel the same about Kenny staying but let's get behind him and the team 100% and enjoy the ride who nows he might get it right this time as he will be able to buy players if not its is last chance he will be gone.



25 Jul 2016 12:18:23
So Jeff has just all but confirmed he is supporting Kenny Jackett and that they share the same opinion on transfer targets. One positive is that he is keen to spend floods of money on players but only on quality top players. Wolves will not panic buy. Good news? Bad news? At least it's some news for us!



25 Jul 2016 12:24:35
Don't panic buy? Er, the league starts next wik!



25 Jul 2016 12:27:47
The Crawley right back it is then.



25 Jul 2016 13:06:57
Did they ask about the li link because ain't heard nothin about it.



25 Jul 2016 11:26:07
Ola John linked with a move, was at reading last season on loan. He's entering final year of his contract at benfica.



25 Jul 2016 12:19:39
KJ staying then. Apparently we are short of players in key positions - who knew? Play them in the right position would help.



25 Jul 2016 10:09:51
With only a few hours before the press conference, what's everyone's opinions on what should happen in terms of the manager?

My opinion is that wolves need fresh faces within the club starting from the top (which has happened) down to the coaching staff and players. I would personally be happy with Bruce, Martinez or Silva who has been linked with the job, if Jackett is to leave.



25 Jul 2016 10:39:02
Jackett will stay until January I reckon minimum funds until then.



25 Jul 2016 10:42:28
I'm not a Jackett fan but I would consider this. He took over when Wolves were in dire straits following back to back relegations and got us back to the Championship at the first attempt. On a restricted budget we then just missed the playoffs the next season. O. K. last season wasn't good but it took place under the cloud of turmoil with the future uncertain. My concern is that he has no track record of getting clubs to the Premier League but who knows if he has a good budget and support. The need to settle things is important and getting new playing staff is vital. What should not be done is to run headlong into the wrong managerial appointment as with Connor and Saunders. let's wait and see it's only an hour and a half now.



25 Jul 2016 10:57:50
Wolabby your bang on the money.



25 Jul 2016 09:09:07
How can we listen to the press conference.



25 Jul 2016 09:46:32
You can't there are NO live feeds as per the Official site :- (



25 Jul 2016 09:54:52
Go down to Molineux and blagg your way in.

That's the only way, No live streaming, only twitter and press coverage afterwards with full Wolves account.

Please Dog let there be an end to Moxey Spin, we need the truth from now on.



25 Jul 2016 10:06:36
Tune in radio wm they broadcast live from midday.



25 Jul 2016 10:25:45
As much as I would like to blagg my way in, I am on the other side of the globe
I like the WM radio hope I can tune in from outside the uk.



25 Jul 2016 09:06:19
Hearing the new owners have decided to stick with Kenny Jackett this season for stability reasons and are using this season as like a transitional period, almost like a trial season and seeing what comes from it before really attacking it next season with thorough plans in place.



25 Jul 2016 09:24:26
Billionaires and no plan B? Really hope your wrong.



25 Jul 2016 10:29:49
I will be amazed and totally dismayed if the new guys have not got a plan B.



25 Jul 2016 11:35:28
Maybe Forsun are plan B and Julen Li was plan A that never happened. This could be why Lopetegui never came as he was part of Plan A. Would be surprised if Forsun have a Manager lined up but who knows better to look forward than dwell on the past.



25 Jul 2016 08:26:02
How about Kenyon at CEO, KJ stays as some sort of DoF and Silva as Head Coach. KJ stays involved as balance between the owners and Mendes and Silva and supports Mendes on the British recruitment side. His knowledge of the Chanpionship is retained until we get promoted.



25 Jul 2016 08:01:44
Excited bout press conference we will soon no there ambition nice to see Jeff in wolves colours haha.



25 Jul 2016 08:54:21
Big Jeff unveils Marco Silva and says we will def get promoted this season! Unlimited funds, f--k ffp! If Marco wants a player we will get him! Or it could be we have given JACKETT a new contract, he will be allowed to buy Chris Wood, and he has assured me the squad is good enough.



25 Jul 2016 06:45:37
Think all will be fine re the manager as Bruce in the USA and Martinez to be interviewed for Hull so hardly likely either of them.



25 Jul 2016 08:25:05
So who are you suggesting makes us all fine then?



25 Jul 2016 06:41:56
Does anybody know where we can watch this press confrence?



25 Jul 2016 08:04:35
I no who won't be covering it e and s lst to no eneything lol.



25 Jul 2016 08:20:32
E&S are just tweeting from the press conference. Our only hope is a live feed on the club's YouTube channel. I can't see Sky Sports showing it.
