There is genuine concern on social media that Fosun ntend to let Wolves go into administration, they only care about the esports and the football club does not matter to them and administration will be a easy way out for them.

That would be my bet Rated.

It would make sense, they took out a 100 million pound loan at the beginning of the season, using club assets as collateral, now when we go down (not if) if we go into administration any monies owed would only be pennies on the pound, take the parachute payments sell of all they can and cut and run.


Sounds far fetched but would anyone of believed a wolves shirt ( albeit esports) with the words West Bromwich on it?
Academy is about to lose its elite status, grounds an absolute disgrace. It all points to asset stripping as much as they can

Even though Fosun have lost interest, I can't see how administration makes sense, it's only for financial basket cases. It destroys shareholder value.

Fosun won't care they only want the brand for the esports side of things, it's sus how the Wolves esports is blocking fans who are voicing concern.

IF Fosun did take the club into administration, then 12 points will immediately be deducted and if relegation is also involved, which is almost certain barring miracles, the points deduction could be delayed until the following season meaning Wolves, if under new ownership, would start the season on -12 points.

OAP, turkeys don't vote for Christmas. There will be no administration unless the club is going bust, and it's not. If we go down, we will sell players and rebuild and there will be parachute payments.

Your argument falls down when you mention the word rebuild deep throat ? we will have a 100 million pound loan to pay back, that’s the parachute payments gone straight away on that

Hello,
I haven't been a regular poster on here for a while but I have supported Wolves since 1967, I always will. Thank you for letting me post on here but in all honesty, at 70 years of age, my health is not what it was and I find the situation with our club depressing and reflected in the tone and posts of fellow fans on this and other forums. I don't like the way football has gone with TV, players renumeration, tinkering with the laws and applications in the game, and find that the whole game has been ruined by money. I can always remember the first few games I attended with my uncle, walking from Wednesfield through Heath Town to the Mil. Then with my late wife, we had season tickets for around 30 years, all during that time, the ups and downs, we were there, home and away, week in, week out. Some great players, too numerous to mention. My interest began to wane a little when she passed five years ago and now, I just listen on the wolves app.

Tommo and Lee Naylor can be really knowledgeable, but even listening when they get negative can be stressful. I have been reading posts with interest but now that anyone with a keyboard can call themselves a 'journalist' and trot out absolute rubbish, even that is depressing. I miss the Sporting Star and getting to Queen Street to buy it fresh from the E and S office on the way back. There's a lot I miss about recent good times under Nuno, I get a lot of joy watching old reruns, Wembley, Cardiff playoff v Sheffield united and some wonderful games over the years. Now, I just find the whole football thing is frustrating and depressing. I love the Wolves always, but there's more to life, I will still listen in, but the last few years have, in addition to grief and loss, not been good.
I wish you all well.
Malcolm

Malcwolf I totally get your view and can empathise with you. May I also offer my condolences for your loss.
Being of the same age group I know the excitement and anticipation match day would give and bring, more honest and good humoured play than today's sponsor, tv, scheduling dictated events.
I too remember the star after the game, sometimes waiting for my brother to pull in, or some times hop off and back on the train to get one so we could see other scores of the day, only half times as I recall.
So I fully agree that money has led us down the road to unbalanced, unfair advantage and ruined the true game.
Add this to the TV dictated KOs, the advent of VAR and its intolerable amount of decision times and biased 'influenced '? out comes and football just isn't real as we knew it.
I
I too listen to Thommo Lee and Mike burrows which gives me a sense of connection to the team and live action, inviting them into my room.
I too get depressed over what as become an even bigger part of my live as I have aged. The times under Nuno and the players under him that graced the mol was wonderful, it felt as tho we were on the cusp of breaking the 'big 6' with their financial edge, that went, (as many other things have sadly) after Covid, but it was and as been Fosuns control of our club that is killing us.

As it stands I have found our play boring predictable and I wonder why I continue to watch and listen, but it's that little spark in my heart that love for my club found in my childhood days that gets me excited and living in hope.

So even in my most frustrated despairing day after another poor game and defeat I have hope, it keeps the old head going, I'm hoping we can do the vile, I'm hoping to shock arsenal, sadly under fosun that's all I have, knowing I'm unlikely to see wolves win at wembly again, or compete in Europe, boy, you'll remember, beating Juventus in the EUFA Cup.
But I'll be here as long as, with my gold and black festooned, tear stained scarves hoping.
Keep the faith malc, and all the very best mate.

Why would Fosun put Wolves into administration when they were offered £400 million a few weeks ago and made money in the summer on transfers along with the money coming in from the Premier League for this season. More made up dribble by negative numpties!

Sorry and condolences for your loss Malc.
Malc and Abbey, I agree with everything you say regarding football and Wolves. I too am approaching 70 and have been a fan since 64/65.
I can’t say more, you have already said it.
I just hope we live to see good times return.


If we go right down through the leagues and indeed face another administration, will we find another Sir Jack and another Bully to bring us back from the brink? Hope so and hope we live long enough to see it.

They would put us into administration if it meant they could get away with not paying any loans outstanding, they were not offered 400 million at all they were offered 150 million plus shares in textors company. And you say money coming in from the premier league well that will end this season
The fact that anyone that has a different opinion to you is apparently a “ numpty” sums you up in a nutshell.

Not even the most deluded happy clapper can say they club is being ran well and we will stay up

Why would anyone offer £400 million for a club that is championship bound and has loans against future tv revenue and the stadium stands?

CS1 negative numpties have you been paying attention to what's happening over the past 3 years?
Take of the Fosun blinkers and smell reality.

As pointed out Fosun should not want to put Wolves into admin as it would mean a 12 point deduction with obvious consequences for the football team. (Although if taken this season an irrelevancy). However if the club is unable to pay its obligations as they fall due they legally have no other choice.
Relegation will almost certainly trigger the loan and absorb the parachute payment so even if Fosun waives their own debt, (and why would they), it will be impossible to meet a £250m, (of which £180m is in cash) cost base and service the obligations to other clubs for past transfers from the remaining circa what £30- 40m of income?
Selling the squad will reduce the cost base, (although not by as much as you would hope), and sadly only raise modest sums - many players will either have to be virtually given away or even in the worst cases paid to go - so it is unlikely that after paying debts, (the parachute payment will only cover a portion of the debt), there will be much left over and certainly not enough to run a club for a year.


Admin will allow Fosun to walk away from the remaining debts, purchase "esports" and any other bits they want from the administrator and leave the pesky football team to be picked up by a new investor.
Of course Fosun may back the club and offer short term liquidity to allow it to survive until the following season and the next parachute payment but in which division they will be playing in by then is anyone's guess!

Yes, I’ve been seeing the club go through highs and lows for 50 years and can’t stand Jeff Shi and his lies. BUT is doesn’t make sense to put the club into administration when they’ve were offered £400 million and you can say it was £150 million Rated but in business if you are given shares to a value they still have THAT value.

Four weeks ago when the offer came in we weren’t dead certs for relegation! You also say Gomez is gone 6 weeks before Jan, tell us who’s told you that? Like I said NEGATIVE! And as for the Numpty, No one said it was you and I was referring to people in general but if you want to take the mantle, feel free.

If anyone takes a look at the assets charged as security in September they will see that WORLDWIDE assets from the whole group are charged, land, buildings, insurance policies, players, intellectual assets etc. The parties to the agreement are the 1986 company, the WW (1990) company and the property company. There is no way that anyone would risk all those assets simply to default on a £100mil loan and to walk away.

You cannot 'walk away' from a £100mil loan if you have charged assets worth way in excess of that amount. In my opinion, if relegated, Fosun will go on servicing that loan, and in fact the agreement contains clauses allowing for relegation. Wolves would not be the only club in the Championship with a large loan.

It’s not defending Fosun, it’s business acumen! TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! I’d love Elon Musk you buy us or Jeff Bazos and get rid of them. NO club has done well with Chinese owners Villa, Blues, Sandwell and nor will we until they go but administration is not a BUSINESS COMMON SENCE DECISION, even for Fosun!
