Panic over folks
Chinese under 23 international Bin xu is signing for us!
Massive pedigree he played in the the team that finished 9th in the league over there. Phew our seasons saved, thanks fosun I was worried for a moment there ?
1.) 26 Nov 2025 19:51:49
Oh lor, hwang and XU selling shirts, I hope he proves the biz eventually but can't see him making the step up, not even in the championship. He's not related to Jeff in any way is he?.
2.) 26 Nov 2025 22:48:09
Heading straight out on loan apparently
3.) 26 Nov 2025 22:48:16
He doesn't even qualify for a work permit so he'll be going out on loan. So he's of no use to us this season at all. Another mediocre player readying himself for mid table Championship football. But as long as we capture the replica shirt market in Asia, that's all that matters.
4.) 27 Nov 2025 10:43:46
Bin xu did you say? We've bin had!
5.) 27 Nov 2025 18:22:29
A defensive midfielder who doesn't appear to have scored a goal in 67 senoor appearances.
6.) 27 Nov 2025 18:52:51
Another dm how many do we need j gomes and andre are as defensive as u need we need att mids or wingers not dms
7.) 27 Nov 2025 19:06:44
Andre and Gomes won’t be here by the end of the transfer window
25 Nov 2025 08:43:21
Apparently Gomes to United is all done and dusted
Clubs have agreed a fee and Gomes allegedly has agreed personal terms
Another nail in the coffin from fosun
1.) 25 Nov 2025 11:42:58
Dwwg David Ornstein wrote a piece in the Athletic and said there have been no contact between Wolves and Man u. Plus where has the figure of 44mill come from when Anderson of Forest want over 100mill same as Caleba of Brighton I would say Gomez is worth at least 60mill.
2.) 25 Nov 2025 12:37:19
Would like to say they won’t allow Joao to leave unless there is absolutely no chance of us staying up. Then again, with our club at the moment anything is possible. Think they have to at least give Rob a chance before arranging further sales, in Jeff and Fosun we don’t trust.
Remainder of the season will be even more depressing if they just give up now.
3.) 25 Nov 2025 15:39:27
Wolves have already said it will take a insane offer for them to even listen, as it stands it's all paper talk.
4.) 25 Nov 2025 15:50:48
Don’t believe it for a second rko
It’s going mainstream now that apparently it’s a done deal, fosun would sell their own grandmothers if there is money in it for them
5.) 25 Nov 2025 17:28:07
Too late De Wolf, Fosun sold off their grannies years ago.
6.) 25 Nov 2025 17:54:42
David Ornstein says there's been no contact and he's usually right. Just because its in the mainstream media doesn't make it correct. Remember it was the same media outlets writing that Guessand, Pubill and Uche had agreed deals with us only for them to be proved wrong.
7.) 26 Nov 2025 08:13:43
Banksy51 - sorry mate but we have no chance of staying up.
8.) 26 Nov 2025 17:03:58
Guess you correct 3G would like to believe, however it fading fast ?
12 Nov 2025 07:08:25
J.gomes is said to be of serious interest to United, they are happy to wait until the end of the season to try and get him but may try in January, Cuhna is said to be using his pull to persuade him
1.) 12 Nov 2025 09:42:51
I suspect they will wait till the end of the season, because like most of our players I suspect his relegation release fee is a fraction of his true value! Add to that he has a one year option built into his contract.
Essentially if/when we get relegated not only do we go down but we also get to watch our squad leave for a mere fraction of their true value, take a bow Jeff you've worked tirelessly to get us here! ?
2.) 12 Nov 2025 14:15:52
De Wolf not sure if you either watched the Chelsea game or read my review but it was clear, despite playing on a side that was well beaten, that he was the best player on the pitch.
This is a Chelsea side that contains 2 central mids who cost over £100m each.
It is therefore no surprise that he will attract interest from the Sky 6 teams.
BB I obviously agree I put a figure of £40m on Gomes - a player who if he was playing for a proper club would not leave for anything less than 9 figures!
3.) 12 Nov 2025 14:18:54
Our CEO/Football Director has made a statement about the new manager.
On extract stood out for me."We need to refresh the whole club with a new coach’s philosophy".
If he had left it at, "We need to refresh the whole club", I would have been much happier.
Sadly, Fosun are showing no signs of replacing a passive CEO, with one that is pro-active.
4.) 12 Nov 2025 14:33:25
I was thinking the same rugeley, the only refreshing thing I want to hear from Jeff is he’s handed his resignation letter in.
11 Nov 2025 13:53:39
Interesting article I read today, apparently the club have no plans to spend heavily in January and will rely on loans to get players in
If true this points once again that fosun are looking to get out, now I know all the Jeff shi fans and fosun defenders will say “ why would they risk us going down and see our value lose 2/300 million overnight” well they paid 30 million for us, they haven’t invested in the ground, academy ( which is about to lose elite status rating) the women’s team, why? As there’s no return for them, yes they have spent on players but they get a return on them sometimes a really good aka kilman, Neto, jota etc
Make no mistake folks this whole mess stinks to high heaven
1.) 11 Nov 2025 15:28:11
Makes sense as well because they probably realize now that we are going down and spending lots in January would be to much of a gamble for them. To be honest I don't think they could attract good enough players even if they was willing to spend a lot.
Loaning players make more sense as the players themselves know they aren't going to be there long and they will be playing. Fosun will see it as something that isn't costing them much and its a safer gamble if there is any very small chance of survival.
2.) 11 Nov 2025 15:38:20
I hope you're right. The club has been run into the ground. The sooner this lot are out the better.
3.) 11 Nov 2025 15:53:37
Fosun only wanted the badge for their esports side of things.
4.) 11 Nov 2025 19:12:04
Loans make sense. We would really struggle to attract top targets. Enough good quality players not getting game time at parent club. Given the size of top Premier League academies there are plenty of young players with aspirations of making their country’s World Cup squads who need minutes.
If the focus is young English players then loans from top clubs and perhaps some Championship clubs not challenging for promotion is a possibility.
5.) 12 Nov 2025 12:10:30
Looks like we will be scrambling for crumbs from the rich man's table in January! This could work out for us. Any PL team not expected to be in a relegation battle could have quality players needing minutes. Not that I'd want him, but Raheem Sterling is being paid a fortune by Chelsea and he's not even in the squad, for example.
The wastage is enormous. We should review every player we have out on loan who could be recalled in January. A herculean effort will be needed to save us but I believe we will survive. Regardless of where we are next season, Jeff must go and preferably Fosun too.
6.) 12 Nov 2025 19:53:39
Some interesting thoughts in this thread. Players of Raheem Sterling standard would I imagine be payed wages to high for most clubs, even for a loan move.
If we do go down we will clearly need to reduce the wage bill quickly so I also suspect Gomes and one or two others will be released for the usual lower fees that we've come to expect. After this shambles I frankly can't see the more marketable assets staying even if we survive.
Taking any championship young players would probably be with a view to signing them for a promotion push next season as I can't see most championship clubs loaning young assets, they will surely want to sell.
They've rolled the dice. What happens next is anyone's guess.
05 Nov 2025 11:27:15
If newspapers are to be believed it now seems we have entered talks with…….Bruno lage ?♂️
1.) 05 Nov 2025 14:06:40
Oh No!
2.) 05 Nov 2025 14:30:03
It's just bizarre isn't it, can't help but feel that Teti has taken his list of mob numbers with him leaving Jeff hilariously scrolling through his own mob desperately looking for ANYONE mad enough to attend an interview! If it didn't make me SO angry it would genuinely be hilarious! ?
3.) 05 Nov 2025 15:31:27
Bruno said no. Thankfully.
Allardyce (who couldn’t save Leeds or Baggies) is waiting by his fax machine.
If Keane is truly up for it what do we have to lose?
Please no ‘help’ needed from Mendes (he’s suckled the golden tit long enough and now it’s all shrivelled up).
I’m not a religious person but I’ve prayed for something good to come. I’m now writing my letter to Santa, asking for the same present as the last few years!
4.) 05 Nov 2025 16:30:35
At this rate Jackett or Lambert will be coming back.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 17:06:38
Allardyce waiting by his fax machine? He was never that techy. He's probably sent his job application to Wolves by carrier pigeon. Looks like the only interest is from no-hopers. Think I'll send my CV in.
6.) 05 Nov 2025 18:29:04
???
7.) 05 Nov 2025 19:42:42
Jackett turned the club around once, so maybe he is the right man for the job again
8.) 05 Nov 2025 20:10:39
Don't forget Dean Saunders.
9.) 05 Nov 2025 21:19:24
Mike no one can ever forget dean Saunders ?
10.) 06 Nov 2025 09:30:37
Allardyce waiting by his fax machine is so funny. Apparently he has a VHS of all the Wolves games.

A few reports breaking that a fee of 50 million has been agreed for Gomes to United
Don’t shoot the messenger
1.) 23 Nov 2025 13:20:12
Wouldn't surprise me. I'm sick of Fosun now. It's just too depressing thinking what they're doing to our great club.
2.) 23 Nov 2025 13:30:50
Let's face it, Jaoa will be sold in the summer and we are not staying up ( I predicted on here before the 1st match we would finish bottom). Sell Jaoa in January and buy 3-4 that will giveus a fighting chance of getting back up next season. 3/4 of this squad will not be here next season.
3.) 23 Nov 2025 14:04:00
Chelsea looking at Andre too.
4.) 23 Nov 2025 15:26:28
I genuinely think that j Gomes Andre and jsl could all go in January, edwards will have targets in mind for the championship next season and I believe we will get in a few loan players to replace who we will lose in Jan
5.) 23 Nov 2025 15:46:35
Not good reading that Joao may be off in Jan, does make you think, as others have said, are they going to cash in when they can before the value of players drop. Not good at all, Rob no doubt been assured we won’t sell but more than likely Jeff will.
I guess by the time we reach Jan our fate will be decided, not good though to have all the speculation and talks already. Any slim chance we may have of scraping a few wins before Jan will be reduced by links involving our few better players.
6.) 23 Nov 2025 17:10:27
Take out the above mentioned sales of decent players and then the non performers we will be looking at a mix of U21s, loanees, and fading stars to survive in the Championship. This prognosis can only be changed by a change of owner.
Fosun will not properly support a rebuild, and will only spend what is available after sales, and current costs well covered. They do not understand football and what is needed to stop a second relegation.
07 Nov 2025 13:35:44
Well jeffs esports are all over the club website I see, it’s a pity he and fosun aren't as passionate about the actual club of Wolverhampton wanderers than they are about “ wolves esports team”
1.) 07 Nov 2025 15:07:35
Can someone please explain what esports is/are? Just read a final being played in front of 60, 000 in China but haven’t a clue what it is, thank you
2.) 07 Nov 2025 16:10:54
Same here 47.
3.) 07 Nov 2025 16:30:17
According to Wikipedia, Esports is short for electronic sports and is a form of competition using video games.
Esports often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, played individually or as teams.
View Wikipedia for more information.
4.) 07 Nov 2025 17:03:03
Basically playing computer games online in large competitions (mostly the new versions of FIFA which I believe is now called FC26, after FIFA pulled the plug on copy rights) buddy.
Me and my mates always laugh that we were born in the wrong generation as you now get grown arse adults making an INSANE amount of money to play footy games like FIFA professionally! We used to play them at Uni enough to be deemed pro I reckon but back then we were just sad cases, now it'd be a good career move! ?
5.) 07 Nov 2025 17:51:05
You could argue it is a bit silly but then again. Us getting so emotional over a bunch of overpaid people running around on a grass field after a round ball. I guess it's a matter of choice.
6.) 07 Nov 2025 18:34:11
Is the e sport business part of the Wolves football club or another arm of Fosun?
If it is, there appears to have been zero income in the accounts coming to the club so far despite all the noise?
One for the future or Fosun merely using the brand to help themselves not Wolves?
7.) 07 Nov 2025 18:57:42
OK thanks. That’s a genuine question as I don’t know. Is it therefore correct that Fosun are using Wolves brand in China in esports very successfully? If they’re making a lot of money then I suppose they’re not really desperate to preserve our Premier status. Am I wide of the mark on this please?
8.) 07 Nov 2025 19:12:32
V good q 47.
Does the brand rely on Wolves premier league status?
This is probably the question upon which Wolves season hangs as with a huge spend in January is might still be possible to survive - albeit it is going to be very tight and will require an amazing never seen before transfer window!
9.) 07 Nov 2025 21:06:08
If you go on internet wolves esport, the income and invest numbers are available. Then you can compare with the fotball club numbers and investments. I can't at the moment because it's Friday night and I am in garage destroying my body with Black Sabbath and whisky.
10.) 07 Nov 2025 23:31:22
Tks Skrekken.
I have had a look and the info is somewhat patchy with a figure as you said for income, (but none for costs), and a number for an investment.
The conclusion reached by the report I read seems to be that e sports makes no money whatsoever - which would seem to fit with the Wolves FC accounts .
However as this thread commented Wolves are investing in the activity fairly heavily i.e.
it is sucking cash out of the club.
Maybe at some distant date in the future it will make sense but right now it is an irrelevant distraction that obviously is more of interest to Jeff than the real game and the real business.
He clearly is not just incompetent but a fool as well!
Fiddling whilst Rome burns!
05 Nov 2025 14:54:51
Is it just me or is anyone else getting vibes like when they sacked Mick McCarthy and I think it was moxey said this is no job for a novice then appointed the complete novice Terry Connor
1.) 05 Nov 2025 15:21:38
Very much so De wolf, in fact I even also likened our approach to GON as giving Terry Connor the job! Desperate and essentially just ensuring a quicker prosession to relegation, so depressing! ?
2.) 05 Nov 2025 15:29:39
Basically they couldn't get anyone.
3.) 05 Nov 2025 15:34:18
There should be a company set up to cover for premiership managers. Similar to school supply teachers. There may be one good one in every five. May give us some hope! ?
4.) 05 Nov 2025 15:40:57
The problem being De wolf that when McCarthy went he took all the football staff with him. Wolves Ltd then tried to run Wolves FC (if you take my point) with disastrous results.
That is, however, exactly what this situation looks like, certainly to me.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 16:35:24
Only shi to go now and or fosun need a new owner now to be honest unless they change there tune on how to run the club who do you think will be our new manager
6.) 05 Nov 2025 16:54:07
Omg. Even the mention of bruno lage
???????
7.) 05 Nov 2025 16:58:07
Apparently Jeff is interested in Dele Allí as a player manager on a free, by all accounts Allí wanted Tete gone as he was worried anyone who knew anything about football would realise he knew nothing about managing. Funnily enough it is also the reason Jeff was happy to get Tete gone.
Jeff is also looking to appoint the local Asda manager as Ali’s number two as he was impressed with how organised the shelf stacking was, saying he’s hopeful he can get the team lined up in a similar fashion.
8.) 05 Nov 2025 19:21:56
Strewth! I think we're so hopeless we could't even score an own goal. Hold on, we managed one against Fulham.
9.) 05 Nov 2025 19:45:09
If Robbie Keane wants the job, let him take it, we have nothing to lose and all
The gain, Keane Is a forward thinking coach and a good character to have around the club.
There’s still plenty of time to turn season around and survive mid table
10.) 05 Nov 2025 19:41:56
And Sunderland!
05 Nov 2025 07:39:05
{Ed's Note - De wolf was god has posted a new article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sliding Toward the Abyss
1.) 05 Nov 2025 07:58:09
Your list of players who will be off is interesting because many are in your substandard category who we probably wouldn't want to stay anyway, particularly Hwang and Sa (which means we might be stuck with them depending on contract expiry dates). That's one of the reasons we're in our current predicament.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 09:04:51
Nicely summarised De wolf as you imply pretty much a perfect storm of owners going absent and a club run by a one man managerial disaster.
I think some of the players you place on the leavers list would do well in the Championship but as you say many probably wouldn't want to stay.
Fosun should have sold the club 3 years ago when they began their re-structuring program as even then the die was cast with no further investment forthcoming.
3.) 05 Nov 2025 09:10:46
I absolutely agree old wolf apart from krechi who looks decent I think they are mostly gash, the krechi one is interesting as well as I believe that he only signs for us permanently if certain criteria is met, and I bet a pound to a pinch of Albion that one of the criteria is being in the premier league so that’s another 20 million fosun have saved
4.) 05 Nov 2025 10:48:23
Nice article and well written. Thomas Cook anyone? Don't write it off it could happen.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 13:33:44
I agree Krechi is not bad, but even be was offered to another club for almost half of what we payed. They knew we were desperate and ripped us off. All the others signed in the window are at best Championship but even that's doubtful.
04 Nov 2025 17:29:18
De wolf was god has written an article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sliding Toward the Abyss
1.) 04 Nov 2025 20:51:51
De Wolf - Why do you think Tolu will stay?
Surely his salary will be way out of Wolves pocket if they go down. Plus he will still raise a transfer fee albeit nothing like the amount paid by Wolves and Wolves will be desperate for cash injections.
Otherwise pretty much agree that the squad will be almost entirely disposed of one way or another - sold, bought out, contract not renewed or sent out on loan.
Consequently with what is left you may well be correct and a double relegation is far from impossible even before you take into account the genuine possibility of Wolves entering into administration and thus being hit with a 12 point penalty.
The next few weeks will tell us a lot about how Fosun sees things.
A serious managerial signing and a very healthy January transfer budget will indicate they are still committed.
A cheap option for manager and the sale of J Gomes and Andre - the two remaining diamonds in the squad - indicates Fosun are simply looking to extract as much value from the club as it can whilst it still can.
As Abbey pointed out in a post earlier today Seville was a real "sliding doors" moment.
If Nuno had been left in control - with Thelwell and Dalrymple - Wolves may well have been a European team on more than one occasion over the last few years and certainly would be a solid top half of the table team, highly profitable and worth a fortune.
Jeff taking control meant that none of this happened and Wolves have been a massively loss making club and may well be no longer a Prem team next year worth nothing or close to it.
Unless Fosun has extracted hundreds of millions over the past few years, which seems highly unlikely, Jeff has not just spectacularly failed Wolves but Fosun as well.
2.) 04 Nov 2025 21:18:01
I’m not sure with tolu I just get the impression he’s not the sort of character to jump ship, I could and probably am wrong and like you say he will probably go as well. I did post the other day on talking wolves about how fosun may stick around and leech the parachute payments for as long as they can before peeing off.
I genuinely fear for the next few seasons and can see a free fall like the 80’s on the cards
3.) 04 Nov 2025 21:23:36
Also I point out in my article that Jeff and fosun are equally culpable for the mess we find ourselves in, as for the money side of it when you work out sponsorship, tv money, premier league money the club have had an income just shy of a billion pounds since returning to the prem, I’m not including transfers in this as over the years they have pretty much balanced out now, slightly in the red but not by much.
A good example is when the first spectres of psr started to appear, the season we had to sell neves etc that same year Jeff’s annual pay shot from 220 grand a year to around 660 grand a year this is when we are being told as fans that the club is in dire financial crisis
4.) 05 Nov 2025 06:15:17
From a purely non football sided of things, and Iknow nothing regards the financial world, if Fosun are likely to attract offers of 4/500m selling wouldn't represent a loss on their original investment would it? In fact I'm imagining a positive return, so why are they hanging in with us given the current global tensions.
It's not to run and develop an English Premier football club, even if just for fun. We've been sold a few lies for whatever reasons, and perhaps Jeff as been doing his job for fosun successfully in their eyes De Wulf.?
5.) 05 Nov 2025 07:26:51
I absolutely agree abbey I think they bought the club and thought they could chuck a bit of cash at it at first and end up as big as Barcelona Which would tie in with Jeff’s delusional comments, then through a perfect storm of covid/Chinese government restrictions and the reality of football they have realised it’s actually a very expensive business.
They have zero interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers apart from being able to use our iconic badge for e sports, the sooner they have gone the better but I think it’s going to get a lot lot worse for us before that happens
6.) 05 Nov 2025 08:28:54
Totally agree De Wolf. They need to unload Wolves to meet their commercial strategy since COVID. They are struggling to find a cash buyer due to the uncertain financial world we live in and the PL restrictions on direct investment.
