I was talking to a workmate of mine who works in the world of marketing for some major brands but is also a bit of a conspiracy theorist.

We were talking Wolves and he mentioned that Adidas were the ones who decided to walk away from the shirt deal as they didn't want to be associated with Jeff Shi's vision for the club. This is also the reason Castore also walked away after 2 years.

Now that Wolves are plummeting into the Championship, he said Fosun are not happy and looking for answers.

I hope this is true and Fosun get rid of Shi.

We all know about the concept of 'face' in Chinese culture. The loss of face by Fosun will be enormous, with the almost inevitable relegation ahead. Jeff might have to fall on his sword, or be pushed. It's not just Fosun. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the great wave of Chinese investment in football a decade or so ago in the UK and Europe has been a failure.

Sadly, relegation will only prolong Fosun's ownership of Wolves, whereas they might be tempted to sell if we by some miracle stayed up. They must know they're out of their depth by now.
