Former Wolves striker SEB (Sylvan Ebanks-Blake) is suing his surgeon for the loss of his football career at the early age of 27.
1.) 19 Jul 2025 09:48:18
Same surgeon that operated on my achilles and left me with nerve damage.
World's leading expert on feet and ankles allegedly!
17 Aug 2023 14:26:07
We're linked with Josh Brownhill of Burnley.
1.) 17 Aug 2023 15:41:23
God I hope not, bang average player. I'd sooner see Hodge or Jordao play to be honest! ?
2.) 17 Aug 2023 16:29:46
See Paul merson predicts Brighton win he always goes against us plus he says we can't and won't score he talks out his ass h.i never had liked him I go for a wolves win 3-1
3.) 17 Aug 2023 17:15:01
I’d rather us sign Josh Burnley, from Brownhills.
4.) 17 Aug 2023 17:22:50
Paul Merson keeps whistling the same old boring tune. Wolves 'don't score'. Therefore we will never score, right? Wrong! A team that never scores would not have stayed up last season. He may not have noticed that we finished very comfortably in 13th place last season in spite of VAR errors for which we have received several apologies. And he gets paid for writing this drivel? My prediction?
Wolves 2, Brighton 1.
5.) 17 Aug 2023 17:30:08
Deep, I’ve gone for a 2-1 win on me Super6. We can’t both be wrong, surely not
6.) 17 Aug 2023 18:43:13
He isn't a bad player to have for depth tbf but given the source it's come from I think a rumour is all it is mate.
7.) 17 Aug 2023 19:08:46
Who knows we're could run riot.its about time we battered a team
8.) 17 Aug 2023 19:41:59
Let's see guys as wolfy46 says we could run riot but it's still early days.
9.) 17 Aug 2023 20:31:57
We may not score many but we still managed to beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Brentford and Villa at Molineux last season. Let Merson say what he wants and when we don't lose or get relegated, watch him, Gabby and Chris Sutton all suddenly say that they always felt Wolves were a decent side.
10.) 18 Aug 2023 10:04:47
Liverpool are sniffing around for Lamina, well they can think again and keep their grubby little hands off him, unless they plan to pay £200m for him and in cash not instalments. that's what I think.
11.) 22 Aug 2023 20:43:37
Liverpool so called only paid £5 million out of 45 million in Jota deal.
31 Jan 2022 11:11:26
Apparently we are favourites ahead of Rangers to sign Aaron Ramsey. He is going to take a massive wage cut, and Juve will pay him to leave. As for Rangers, they can sign Gordon Ramsay for all I care! Might improve the half-time pies in Glasgow!
1.) 31 Jan 2022 11:44:19
According to his autobiography, Gordon did play for Rangers.
2.) 31 Jan 2022 11:53:40
According to The Daily Record, a deal between Rangers and Juve for AR has been agreed upon. Would've been a great addition, I'm going to be a negative Nelly and reiterate we will have no incomings today (sadly). Happy to be wrong though!
3.) 31 Jan 2022 12:03:23
I hope you are wrong Debbie else we will be looking at a third Jan in a row when we have ended the month in a similar or more likely worse position to where we started it! Fosun keep telling us there's no deals to be done, let's see shall we cause other teams seem to be managing?! ?
4.) 31 Jan 2022 13:07:38
Do we really want a overpaid injury prone midfielder?
Whether juve subsidised Ramsey's wage he's still not a good addition in my book.
I would like to see a extra striker come in but with hwang to come back I think we should have enough to cement a top ten finish.
5.) 31 Jan 2022 13:16:50
Jas, an update on the illustrious footballing career of Gordon Ramsay:
According to his autobiography Ramsay played "a couple of non-league matches as a trialist for Rangers."
He has since admitted that the exact ins-and-outs of his time at Rangers are "hazy" and according to a Rangers spokesperson he was given a trial during a testimonial match and trained with them for a few months.
6.) 31 Jan 2022 14:09:27
@ Deep Throat and Jas M - The News Of The World debunked Gordon Ramsay's claims about being a Rangers player. HE wasn't released by the club, he had trials for two weeks. This is the only time I can praise NOTW.
It all came about when Ramsay claimed on a TV program that was "released as a 17-year-old and was crushed, that is how I ended up becoming a chef" (I remember watching it) it even had Rangers legend Ally McCoist recalling GR as a young player. Hilarious, egg on both their faces.
7.) 31 Jan 2022 14:59:33
Debbie, amazing how high-achievers still feel the need to cheat! We see it in football all the time with Sterling/Kane etc diving. That tennis player banned from Aussie Open made multiple false statements.
8.) 31 Jan 2022 16:07:56
Deep Throat - I think this boils down to the ruthless "win at all costs mentality" it is drilled into athletes through all disciplines at an early age.
Look at some of the best forwards, they were very crafty. Bergkamp, Shearer, Henry or more recetnly Jota. They didn't cheat but knew /know how to draw a foul and stick in some strong challenges of their own.
9.) 31 Jan 2022 16:19:07
Strange how we’re favourites to sign players but as soon as another Club throws their hat in the ring Wolves pull out, not even willing to compete with Rangers for Ramsay.
10.) 31 Jan 2022 17:54:00
Wolves transfer strategy this window seemed to be younger players. Hoping the gamble pays off.
11.) 31 Jan 2022 18:15:44
Sorry Debs but a 'gamble' would suggest money has been spent, whereas all Fosun seem to be doing it saving pennies where ever they can! Unless of course its lining Gestufutes pocket as they seem very happy to do that (at the expense of our own transfer budget I might add)!
We lose one of our best players and replace him with a player who's only up to being sent to Grasshopper?! People will say that Fosun are being clever and they'd be right, fifth highest average season ticket in the league and replacing our best players with kids! You can call it clever I call it shameless ?
12.) 31 Jan 2022 19:55:06
Well that's it for this window according to Sky News.
25 Apr 2020 13:24:40
Olympiacos about to be banned for match fixing according to a report today. Oh dear, we have unfinished business with them at Molineux. I wonder if a ban would affect this?
1.) 26 Apr 2020 05:56:11
I saw that. Saying they are likely to be relegated to the Greek second league. I imagine they will also be blanket banned from all comps. With us going straight through.
2.) 26 Apr 2020 19:00:34
Funny old world if we went through to quarter finals that way. Not half as funny as Alan Pardew being saved from relegation, miles from safety, and all because the Dutch league has been declared null and void. Pardew claims he is not taking his bonus for avoiding relegation. Would have paid for a few taxis in Barcelona!
3.) 26 Apr 2020 23:58:29
This is probably academic anyway (as it could all be cancelled) but would it come into force this season then? Surely any punative measures they got would happen for the next tournament? Otherwise it wouldn't be fair on those teams they've already knocked out of the tournament? 🤔.
4.) 27 Apr 2020 08:41:35
Got a point there TBF bullys. Man City wouldn't get immediately kicked out of the CL for their mishaps. We will find out I'm sure. The resumption in August for european tournaments has been banded around a lot.
07 Jul 2016 16:54:52
today. Don't know if it is just Kenny keeping his hand in, or is it from Robin Li's side?
Real Betis, Aston Villa and Wolves are all interested in signing Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford on loan.
1.) 07 Jul 2016 18:54:15
Decent player but hopefully we'll not need loan captures soon! This waiting's tough, you could cut the atmosphere with a 'boing boing'. Talking of which, maybe we could buy WBA, flatten the Hawthorns and turn it into a car park for away fans whom we could transport to Molineux by High Speed Tram?
2.) 07 Jul 2016 20:39:57
I'm new to this site guys . Been watching all the posts from the last few days though. Really hoping for good news very soon. FWAW.

Cold comfort I know, but Man U fans are saying that the last time Cunha impressed was in a Wolves shirt.
1.) 06 Dec 2025 10:46:44
What’s the odds on him getting a hat trick on Monday then
2.) 06 Dec 2025 11:22:42
Be happy to have him back, loan rest of season ?
07 Nov 2025 11:48:25
Apparently the pre-match press conference for the Middlesbrough match has been cancelled. Interesting! Probably Rob Edwards related.
1.) 07 Nov 2025 13:03:26
If he's stupid enough to work for Jeff Shi, which one of the following do you think he was enticed with?
A:- A Clipboard.
B:- An iPAD.
C:- A Notebook.
2.) 07 Nov 2025 14:30:37
He didn't take training this morning either deep throat, something is afoot. As much as I wouldn't mind Edwards I think he'd be a fool giving up what he's got at boro to come and sacrifice his career to fosun. Of course he could pull off the greatest escape and be any stand hero, but then who would come hunting him?
3.) 07 Nov 2025 17:12:04
I'm not sure Abbey I'm actually starting to see why he might be keen. Think about it in REAL terms we have been SO poorly run that he would (ironically) be under MUCH less pressure at our place than Boro! If Boro don't make the playoffs this year then questions will be asked and his position will be under pressure. If that happens then basically his next job would be further down the Champ table. We on the other hand are already as good as down, so if he can't rescue us he gets to say 'well it was a done deal before I got there' then he may well get to manage us next year in the Champ, where for he would likely have a squad not much worse than Boros currently is.
Essentially I actually suspect that Edwards has come to realise that it's to good a chance to turn down, he could spend the next 2-5 seasons trying to get back to the Prem without success. This way he gets to go back straight away with little to no pressure cause the club in question looks relegated in all but name!
Sadly I think the only people that come off badly will be us fans. I like Edwards and think he'll be a good manager one day. But I fear that the current mess we are in needs a FAR more experienced Prem manager to even stand a chance at survival. I will of course back the man either way, and just hope that I an entirely wrong (for once:) ?
4.) 07 Nov 2025 18:37:54
BB - good post other than the squad Wolves will be able to field next year is highly unlikely to be anywhere near as good as the Boro one from this season.
5.) 07 Nov 2025 19:01:54
Bully's you make good sense in what you say mate, a lot of considerations must have been made, and of course he's from the area. Latest news suggesting lescott might be joining the staff along with other (unamed) ex players.
24 Oct 2025 12:45:53
Sheffield Wednesday filed for administration today. A great old club like that, under dodgy ownership.
1.) 24 Oct 2025 15:53:47
Administration means that Accountants take over the club and repay the creditors in a certain order if assets are sold. Hopefully, they find a buyer for the club to avoid too many asset sales or a winding up order from a creditor.
It also means an automatic 12 point deduction. All considered it's not necessarily fatal for the club but not pleasant either.
2.) 24 Oct 2025 18:04:53
I honestly fear that scenario will/may happen to us if we lose our PL status under Fosun.
3.) 24 Oct 2025 19:18:32
That fear is not unreasonable NGSM but on the other hand with no top players to sell off each Summer for big money Fosun may actually find supporting a Championship club more palatable.
4.) 25 Oct 2025 03:48:37
I agree that the Burnley game represents a watershed. Lose and three defeats against the promoted sides surely signals the end for VP. I cannot see what it is he is trying to do, there is no decipherable style of play. Our pressing is haphazard and is so easy to bypass. Andre should sit in front of the back four and conduct play, like a quarter back. But in order to do that he has to execute passes beyond those 10 yard ones, which are his stock in trade. If he can’t move beyond these he needs replacing. Gomes and Munetsi should play as a two, ahead of Andre. They need to sit and attack the ball when the opportunity arises. Not al, the time, which is what they are being asked to do now. The result of this tactical suicide is, we are the easiest midfield to bypass in the entire league. Statistics show this.
Front three is an issue. Strand Larsen is not aggressive enough so I would opt for Tolu. Bueno has sent in crosses galore that other teams forwards would relish, but Strand Larsen has not capitalised on.
Not sure Arias has the physicality required for this league, so would opt for support for Tolu to come from Fer Lopes and Rodrigo. If Bellegarde is fit I would replace Munetsi with him and push Marshall alongside Tolu.
24 Sep 2025 12:54:47
Is it me but do these cup matches look like they have been 'seeded'? I assumed the draw was chance but isn't it amazing how bigger teams have been kept apart?
Lincoln v Chelsea
Liverpool v Southampton
Huddersfield v Man City
Newcastle v Bradford City
Spurs v Doncaster
And of course:
Grimsby v Man U

Surely not Deep all is random ?

Ot is Deep.
BBC article
3.) 24 Sep 2025 16:16:24
Trouble is, yes, they were kind of seeded in the fact that no team in European competition could be drawn against each other Deep throat.
They were drawn first in a random home/away fashion, then the other teams drawn randomly to face.
I don't know if that will be the case again tonight, but I imagine it will.
17 Sep 2025 15:11:26
I don't know if the Ed will permit this long message, but I've received this report about the recent meeting between Jeff and the London Wolves Supporters Club:
A meeting with Wolves Chairman Jeff Shi
Date: Tuesday 9th September 2025.
London Wolves are proud to announce an informal meeting took place with the Chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, Jeff Shi, at The Parcel Yard, Kings Cross, London on Tuesday 9th September 2025. Jeff was accompanied by Max Fitzgerald [Head of Media] at Wolves FC.
The meeting was called at short notice on Jeff's request to meet some of the London Wolves members to discuss and get their views on how they feel the club is progressing. Unfortunately, on the day there was an underground tube strike which made it difficult for some members to attend, also the short notice discounted some members attending due to prior commitments. Nevertheless 10 members attended, some of whom had walked miles to attend and others had been stuck in traffic for hours.
The meeting was conducted in a very casual, open, and friendly manner with no question 'off the table.' Jeff, for his part, responded equally openly and honestly.
It was refreshing to meet and be with someone who clearly wanted to be with Wolves Supporters and wanting to know in detail how London Wolves was formed, how long it had been operating, and what were the first games we attended as individuals.
The subjects covered ranged from the latest transfer window, present and previous managers of the club, as well as what Jeff really thought about the song about him from the terraces.
The first topic related to the latest transfer window and Jeff explained that Matheus Cunha was always destined to leave the club if the release clause figure was activated in his contract. Ryan Ait Nouri was slightly different and Wolves could have kept him, although Ryan had made it perfectly clear that he would not sign another contract or extension with the club. With only two years left on his contract it was appropriate that if another club came in for him at the right price Wolves would not stand in the players way. Nelson Semedo was offered a new four-year contract which sat on the table until he made his final decision to move to new challenges and pastures green. Fabio Silva was another topic and Jeff felt his young age had an impact on his lack of success at the club.
Regarding recruitment, there are no PSR [Premier League Profit and Sustainability Regulations] worries at the club and therefore this did not have any impact on decision making when considering transfers. Equally, there was no policy of 'sell before we buy' in place, which gave the recruitment team a clear field to operate in. Of course, Wolves wanted to bring new players in as early as possible to give Vitor the longest time to work with the player and that the players to be able to settle down at their new club. This was not always possible due to the market and the reluctance of other teams to let their best players go, equally, the end of the window was also challenging as clubs were reluctant to let players go so close to the closure of the window which did not give them time to replace them.
Vitor had supplied a list a players he had identified for the team in the various positions [2 to 3 for each of the positions]. No player that was not on Vitor's list was recruited, the manager must always make these decisions and it is the Board and Owners job to support him, as confirmed by Jeff.
Jeff was asked about the 90% comment on recruitment being made and what it really meant. Reverting to the previous discussion on recruitment, he felt 90% had been achieved getting the right players in to support Vitor. He went on to say that the player had to be of a certain calibre to fit in at Wolves, not only as a player, but a person. The manager was very clear about that during his dealings and selection of potential players. Jeff acknowledged the squad was still a little bit light in some areas, but it was never about 'just bodies through the door.'
Jørgen Strand Larsen and the Newcastle United bids were next on the list. Jeff stated he had a meeting with Jørgen and told him he would not be sold. From the conversations between them it was clear Jørgen was not going to cause any problems and wanted to continue at the club, if that was the decision. In Jeff's words 'he is a good honest boy, ' which is really pleasing to hear.
Both Vitor and Jørgen have been offered new contracts and all parties are relaxed about them and these will be signed without any problems, which is a major plus for the club. Jeff is confident, like Vitor, that within 10 games the Team will gel together and climb the table.
The next topic concerned present and past managers. Jeff immediately stated he had made a number of mistakes regarding the appointment of managers for various reasons. We all agreed that we now have a very good capable manager who communicates very well and is very loyal to the club.
An interesting comment was made regarding the proposed plan [project]and if it was, working especially if Wolves find themselves at the wrong end of the table at Christmas time. Jeff reassured those present that Fosun would finance any additional players needed to ensure Premier League survival although that is only a back stop if things do not go to plan.
The main focus is to move the club and establish themselves further up the league. They want to align with clubs like Fulham and Crystal Palace rather than fighting off relegation.
Now back to the song - when asked, a wry smile came over Jeff's face and of course he has no power to orchestrate the songs from the terraces and recognises the frustration some supporters have. That is not to say Jeff does not feel the same or is dismissive about it.
One of the final questions to be put to Jeff was, 'how would you like Fosun to be viewed in the history of time regarding ownership of the club.' the answer was clear that they had facilitated the return of the good times back to the club.
The meeting lasted two hours but what did we really learn about the man who is Chairman of the football club?
This is my own personal take on this: Jeff is a most approachable, friendly person who clearly is dedicated and wants to do his best. He was honest and open when asked any questions. He was not evasive in anyway, and did not used political speak to try and deflect the question. He was honest about the mistakes he has made [after all, we all make mistakes and are only human]. He gave us all a great insight into the workings of the club behind the scenes, and at no time was he disrespectful or tried to blame anyone for any failings of the past, he took those broadly on his shoulders.
He wants to connect with supporters: he understands the challenges and also the restrictions of our club when competing with the top six. He understands players and managers aspirations and when it is the right time for a player and the club to part company. Also, the need to support the manager and ensure good communications and working relationships.
Walking away from the meeting back to the train, I felt I was very fortunate and privileged to be part of the meeting and given the opportunity to meet the man who is looking after our club, and long may it continue.
Hope this helps and if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
John
John Webb

Fair enough Jeff.
2.) 17 Sep 2025 16:33:51
No questions about the future development of the stadium mentioned?
3.) 17 Sep 2025 18:49:23
That's an interesting post but to sum it up I am afraid Shi has come out with usual ambiguous and self defensive clap trap.
Wants to align Wolves with Palace and Fulham-so says the man who wanted Champions league football-and a club who were ahead of those other two until he and Fosun pulled the plug.
The argument about Silva being too young is laughable-the Premier league has been littered with young players who have gone onto achieve great things-he isn't good enough and he was Shi's reponsibility
4.) 17 Sep 2025 19:08:08
No explanation as to why players were turning us down in the window and moving to clubs Jeff aspires to.
Fear play for him meeting the group and being as candid as he was, although it seems it was fairly 'tame' in some respects.
OK he admits mistakes, I'd like to know what he's learnt from them.
Still, he had the guts to meet and seems an approachable sort and gives some sort of assurance of financial backing in January, but we may not be able to buy safety this time.
My big question would have been what would/will Fosun do if we were/are relegated.
5.) 17 Sep 2025 20:40:43
Questions answered, honestly maybe, but so many not even asked.
6.) 17 Sep 2025 21:35:58
Longest txt in the world goes to.?.only things aren't going to plan.are they?.or are we just lollingbthe rest of the prem along and suddenly turn into world beaters.?.putting all our hope on jsl just puts more pressure on the guy.tough ssn ahead.see what happens this wkend n think again then?
7.) 18 Sep 2025 06:46:32
Intriguing article Deep.
Just surprised it doesn't appear on the London Wolves Supporters website?
Also who is John Webb, again seems to have no formal link to the LWS
organisation?
Also odd that Shi and Max F. came down to London to meet in such an unstructured way with so few fans. I say that appreciating the point about transport difficulties. Maybe a rearranged session would have been more appropriate?
Just sees an oddly structured piece.
8.) 18 Sep 2025 08:20:30
Great feedback Deep, as fans we tend to get caught up in all he media hype and the so called supporters platforms feeding the frenzy.
Time to move on and get behind the club and owners for the season ahead.
9.) 18 Sep 2025 10:25:38
Thanks for sharing. Interesting but a lot of things unsaid. Be good if he does it again we could prepare some questions in advance. For someone to ask on our behalf.
29 Nov 2025 10:09:25
Good, as long as Little Rocket Man (Hwang) isn't playing.
27 Nov 2025 10:43:46
Bin xu did you say? We've bin had!
25 Nov 2025 17:28:07
Too late De Wolf, Fosun sold off their grannies years ago.
19 Nov 2025 13:38:21
Going by our away kit, we might be off better signing Calvin Klein!
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.
06 Dec 2025 15:40:16
Frustrating that we gave Villa such a tough match, which they only won because of their keeper's heroics. The showed their quality today against Arsenal.
03 Dec 2025 14:36:12
Hwang running? He seems to stroll and back pass mainly.
01 Dec 2025 18:31:57
10/1 would be more accurate OOTD.
01 Dec 2025 10:13:08
A big improvement Banksy. When the MOTM is the Villa keeper, that says something! We seem to be jinked as we might have won that match on an other day. The JSL non-goal was a fine strike to connect with a ball played behind his legs. Rob has definitely made a difference, and no place for Little Rocket Man, Hwang.
27 Nov 2025 10:49:43
Wolves is fast becoming a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. The quote from Hamlet: 'something rotten in the state of Denmark' could easily refer to Wolverhampton as a football club.
