The away kit for the 2016/17 season will be lime green as the pictures were leaked on Snapchat by Kortney Hause (source Express&star) .
Just goes from bad to worse. Looks vile! The sooner we get new owners the better!

I'm not sure Hause really did leak it, WWFC have a shot at dawn policy for players leaking stuff on social media. I bet it was intentional, to take attention off Moneyshop or to see if a revolt was on hand.
I like the green and black away kit, I hate the black hoops on the socks though, it's like they're trying to brand us the Black Country Celtic.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a sweetener to Moneyshop sponsorship, their owner is Irish, the one in photo's with Robbie Keane. lol, maybe Moneyshop will be the new owner and it will become our home kit!
No to hoops!

Do you have a link to the photo of Robbie Keane and John Grayken?

I don't, I saw it posted on a forum, either this one or MolMix.
It's all very suspicious - Grayken owns Moneyshop, and has been linked to buying Wolves through links with Robbie Keane and Glenn Hughes. He's Irish, and we bought Mason at XMas (an Irish International when we couldn't use him, but because was only chance to buy him with Cardiff in FFP trouble at that time) - looks like he was bought for next season not this. And our away kit next season is green, for first time in our history, and like an Irish owner might want.
And of course, in middle of all that, Grayken's Moneyshop suddenly become Wolves main sponsors - totally in conflict with the clubs identity, but potentially in order to get a Prem push warchest round FFP. It's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire.

All very suspicious as you say. But only circumstantial.
BTW, John Grayken was born in the USA, in Boston. He took Irish citizenship relatively recently and my guess is for tax reasons. (US citizens have to pay tax in the US on their entire worldwide earnings. Ireland is more lenient) . Grayken probably has an Irish grannie or something, which can confer citizenship.
Given the new sponsorship deal at Wolves and the connection with Robbie, a lot of smoke for if there's no fire!

Looks like job for mauler n scully -X files / maybe they find out why moxey such a dick and why kj lost plot this season.

Yes probably for tax, but I guess he was pictured with Robbie Keane because he's an Irish footy hero and Grayken is into being Irish. Plus Ireland market offers a massive opportunity for support and revenue for an Irish branded Prem team, and Wolves does have Irish links / strong support anyway.
There's also the uncanny coincidence that his name is Grayken, an almost perfect description of our current Coach and play-style! The stars are aligning!

Brilliant. We already have a "Grey Ken" of our very own.
You're right about being into Irish. There's no one more Irish than a born-again American.

I've been reading up on Grayken, I seriously hope he's not buying. He runs vulture funds, he's basically an asset stripper. There's reports out of Korea showing that he doesn't honour pledges he makes, and Forbes reckons that people who've trusted him to work with have ended up seriously regretting it - reasonable to assume we would too.
