florent malouda signing on loan till end of season. source? roberto di matteo



Dont think so



Not a chance.



People must be so stupid if they believe this rubbish



More chance of signing Florence Roundabout



Florence Nightingale!

{Ed011's Note - With the number of injuries we have Florence Nightingale would probably be a good signing.



Florence & the machines siewolf

Anyone still deluded enough to think we are not in a relegation fight? Turn on your tv now!



That table doesn't look good now does it Mr Morgan?



Look at the table half of the league are



Totally agree 2pts from safely
Squeaky bum time
Djwolf



The table doesn't lie - makes next week a must win situation. Can't believe we are in a relegation dog fight in the flamin championship. What a mess!



Who would have imagined that we would be playing matches at The Lamex Stadium and Brunton Park for the 2013/14 season. . unbelievable! (No disrespect intended towards Stevenage and Carlisle fans).



We will be relegated.



Ipswich 4 Middlesbrough 0. Quote from Steve Morgan this worst decision I've ever made was to sack McCarthy.



The money's gone, the early bird is being scrapped to avoid embarrasment, ticket prices will be reduced in the summer, Saunders blocked the sale of Doyle seb and Sako, moxey wanted the money Saunders was lied too about transfer funding and was ready to walk.



This owner and CEO have destroyed this club in the last twelve months! Their penny pinching cost us our Prem status and now it'll cost us our Champ status. Morgan should sell up and Moxey should be sacked!



Moxey must go next, not manager its obvious who to blame, look at stoke now since he went established premier side. look at at we 2pts off relegation and no fresh faces brought in. I give up what's happened to my beloved wolves, the 2 ms should not run our football club like this do you agree wolves fans



Mmmmmmm don't really know what to say, you look at the fixtures we've got left and in truth I can't see enough points to keep us up, hate to say it but did say we wouldn't spend in jan, starting to think stale was sacked because he had been lied to by Morgan and moxey, the window money was never ever there, the timing of the sacking looks more sinister by the day, Saunders says his got to clear the decks and will be given funds in the close season to bring his own players in, sound familiar. deano trust me there will be no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and you will pay the price. on behalf of us long suffering supporters try and find the truth. guys, gals the Leeds game has got to hostile not just the south bank but all 4 sides of the ground. every one of us has been had over big time. we have to make a stand and its got to be Saturday. wolverhampton wanderers are on the point of irepairable damage, sing loud and proud, the easy ride for the redman and the pieman has to stop and stop now. the realist.



Relegation certainties



The mighty shrews are waiting, who wouldn't be with the team wolves have got. ward Berra, stearman johnson, foley. oh and the wxm comedy back room staff----- can't wait.



Has moxey took a paycut prey tell.



Realist you have never spoken truer words we have been had over big time. Morgan should cut &run taking Pieman with him. let's make the Leeds game one he will never forget.



The position is bad enough however the form of us is even worse - we will go down without a shadow of a doubt - I am feeling so so sad at how we have ended up here but even worse how easily it could have been avoided. Morgan is a bully of a rich man who thinks he knows best and in business maybe but where football is concerned he is a novice - having a museum of such rich history rubs salt in the wounds of the division one side gracing walsall and shrewsbury next season - well done mr morgan hope you sleep well and will take your own place in our once proud history - poor Sir JAck - a true wolves fan {Ed001's Note - sorry, but poor Sir Jack? Didn't he take you down and then refuse finance to Jones when you did make it back up so that you went straight back down?}



When Conner took over I thought there could never be a worse decision by the board in appointing a manager not fit for purpose and who spoke such rubbish. well life never seems to amaze me. Mr Morgan you are truely a legend in the making. ever thought of taking over the Albion and make us all happy



02 Feb 2013 22:10:07
The insider, the one who you take the michael out of, told you solbakken would go, we wouldn't spend in January, that the transfer talk was pie in the sky, that Saunders was Morgan's mouthpiece.

well tell you what, what I heard today would shock the unshockable. but I will get the pathetic comments try to tell you the snippets I get, well in the summer I will share what I've been told today. 2/2/13 remember the date.



Look how far we are off bottom place. Deja vu from last season anyone?



Oh my god Armageddon! Please tell us more



Dont believe you why should we wait to the summer for you to tell us something you heard today really what a waste of time you know nothing and when something happens you will come on here and say I knew that so if you know something why don't you say the reason you know nothing also I heard something today too and wait to the summer and I will tell you what it is and I bet its the same thing you heard



03 Feb 2013 01:16:28
ok but when nothing happens tomorrow I would like to know what the hell you thought you knew



I know what you know too - we are all asleep and this is a nightmare - we will wake up in the summer and be in the premiership challeneging for a champiosn league place - Morgan will be owning Albion and they are on there way down to the first division.



Ok are we agreed we need some sort of protest against Morgan and moxey, can I suggest a large protest outside the main entrance before kick off, with no one entering the stadium til 3 o'clock, the banking the lads and the manager like never before, showing our support for our team not our lying board. then a further protest outside at the final whistle. we can't stand by and watch redman and pieman play with the existence of our club.



Protest as loud as we can. Make The Mol' a very uncomfortable place for Morgan, Moxey and their toadies. Its time to act our club is being destroyed. before our eyes. Morgan has the club as a plaything his heart belongs to Liverpool but they didn't want him and nor do we.



Well that tense the 2nd came and went with nothin happening so do you want to tell us now what you were going to tell us in the summer! That you were Lyon bout the whole thing I think?

WILKO



Story has broken sooner than I thought. the insider.



Armageddon, how we laughed, ain't larf fin now are we.



I like to know what you thought you know haha I know you what you should start to do. Believe in the insider.

Does anyone know if craddock is still on the books



Yes, but used in more of an ambassador and PR role for his final and testimonial year.



Yes until end of this season.



Play him!



02 Feb 2013 13:34:34
Louis Saha has been released by Sunderland and is therefore a free agent, worth a punt if only on trial to see how he shapes up.



Won't pay his wages, that's our problem. P.J.



Glad to another hasbeen



Agree with posts 1 and 2. He would set the chapionship alight. If only.



Wages? He's not earning any, he has been released. Can't hurt to ask.
Dowg.



Pay as you play deal required me thinks, Reo Coker is a free agent too.



03 Feb 2013 01:13:00
Sure we can ask. And he'll say. And Morgan will look upwards, whistling whilst Moxey looks at his shoes (if he can still see them).

He's probably not desperate for money. He will get offers from Europe too.



Saha has deinately got goals in him, class player.

ed, have you heard the rumours about Morgan, the Bridgemere group and where the clubs money has gone?

woodbridge wolf {Ed011's Note - I have yeh, sorry about any slow response lately I've had the flu and it's been awful, and over deadline day too!! I was in bed before the Leicester game had kicked off but I'm on the mend now. The rumours do sound plausible and would explain a lot, he has some questions to answer.



What rumours?



Hope your better soon Ed, yes Woodbridge wolf I was readin about it on a differant site! That would explain the lack of free cash to spend in transfer market! I am dissappointed with the lack of transfer activity but I certainly won't be boycotting our club! Hope we sort a couple of loan signins out! Paul Tamworth



What rumours are these then?



Please please please tell us the rumours! {Ed011's Note - I've seen this posted on a couple of pages and fan sites over the past few days. I can't give you any addresses or names:


"In late April 2012, just a matter of days after Wolves had officially been relegated, Steve Morgan as Chairman and largest shareholder in Redrow threw the dice on an £80m punt on the London property market.

The result of which is what is currently impacting his financial commitment to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

· In early 2012, Morgan owned 29.9% of Redrow and sat as Chairman of the company.
· He knew at this time that he wanted to eventually make a formal offer to buy all the shares in the company and take it Private
· But he wanted to make sure that there was lots of financial upside for him when he made that move.
· Redrow had not historically operated in London
· Morgan knew (as does anyone with half a brain) that in terms of property London is the safest place to be in UK given demand and price stability
· Morgan created a new London division at Redrow and in March 2012, launched its first major central London development — One Commercial Street, near Aldgate East tube station — to buyers in Asia
· Given the speed and price at which this development sold out, Morgan attempted to do something very shady in my view
· In late April 2012, Redrow, guided by Morgan as Chairman sought to raise £80m for a continued London expansion via a share placing.
· Morgan’s plan was to raise cheap equity at Redrow from existing public shareholders to fund some initial land purchases in London
· He would then make an offer to buy the company in full and if successful, Morgan would be able to take all the financial upside of actually putting houses/apartments on the land purchased
· Under the terms of the share issue, Bridgemere (Morgan’s investment vehicle) would fully underwrite the £80m offer – which means that any shares not take up would have to be purchased by Bridgemere (so effectively Morgan)
· Unfortunately for Morgan, shareholders of Redrow failed to take up the majority of the firm’s £80m share placing with just a quarter of the new shares taken up by the market
· This meant that Morgan and his investment vehicle Bridgemere were forced to take up the remainder.
· Of just over 60 million new shares issued just 12 million were taken up, or 26%.
· As such Morgan and Bridgemere had to stump up just under £60m to buy up the shares for his failed placement.
· This was clearly not his plan and he just had a massive unplanned cash outflow
· Later in 2012 Morgan joined up with one of Redrows other large shareholders Toscafund to launch a formal bid for the company.
· Morgan’s plan was to buy the company then recapitalise it. He would have raised debt on Redrows balance sheet top fund a dividend to him and Tosca as shareholders which would have enabled him to claw back some of the £60m
· Unfortunately, his bid to takeover the company failed in October 2012 after Fidelity Investments (plus others) said his 152p per share offer undervalued the business. The stock currently trades at 190p so they were right
· So, if you are wondering where the Wolves war chest or transfer kitty is…there you have it
· Morgan would still have though t that up until late October he would have been able to raise new funds
· He failed, and as such he simply does not have the liquid cash resources to fund a transfer spree at Wolves
· This is not to say the money at Wolves from paler sales, parachute payments etc. is not there. I am just saying the Morgan himself just got hosed and no longer has the cash people think he does
· Asset rich. Cash poor."



Well according to the Guardian some of this is true, Morgan did try to take Redrow private and used Bridgemere and Toscafund and he failed.



Well this should be brought out and Morgan needs to explain!
Ed, how can we make this public?
Fans need to be chanting at Leeds game about money! {Ed001's Note - it is in the public domain, it is just most people don't care. What you need is to get a Wolves supporter, who is a writer, to write a well written article about it and how it affects the club. Send that to the local and national papers and websites, then hope some use it. The writing is important, a well written article makes people think, a badly written one will just not get read.}



Very very worrying for all Wolves fans, I said months ago that things are not good behind the scenes, why did we build the the new stand when things needed sorting on the pitch, crazy. P. J.



Apparently there has been an article about this in a financial newspaper.

I think the Leeds match may take on an extra dimension if word spreads.

Woodbridge wolf



Get well soon ed.

None of this directly impacts Wolves, who have theor own balance sheet. But it does make a cash injection from Morgan less likely so long as he has cashflow difficulties. I guess there is a chance Morgan will have to sell Wolves if he needs cash.



This explains why Morgan has no money to invest but not why Wolves dont, unless of course he's used Wolves money for this (could he?).



He should sell a stake in the business to the fans and buy it off us when he decides he actually cares about us. Ps I hate the fact that M&M think we just money hungry fans, we don't want to be ripped of just quality. Does anyone know what the payoff for Stale and his staff was, can't wait for his book to come out!



Time to make Molineaux a very uncomfortable place for Morgan and Moxey!
The way we are being treated is unacceptable!



Morgan is an absolute person! Sooner he sells up the better! he's only bought into our club to make money for his building firms. wouldn't be suprised if he's fleeced all the money from selling Fletch, Kights and Jarvo! that's why he also wants all our big earners off the books!!



Get real guys. Most clubs are owned by entrepreneurs who invest in businesses. Sometimes they make money sometimes they don't. We are not in a financial crisis so stop fretting.



I just want to know where the £27 million from sale of Fletcher, Jarvis, etc. has gone.



This is exactly the sort of thing the E&S should be investigating on the fans' behalf
