Manchester City will insist to close Matheus Nunes deal with Wolves in 24/48h after initial €50m proposal. Insist my arse. Who do they think they are? This according to Fabrizio Romano.
1.) 24 Aug 2023 10:34:48
Doog, as soon as he signed last summer there was speculation the agreement was he could leave if a Top 6 side made a bid.
Man U and Liverpool were mentioned.
Even better for him if City are interested.
Initial bid as you say, said to be €50m, plus add-ons.
Personally, think he is a much better fit for City than us. Really hasn't pulled up trees for Wolves.
If we can push it to a gross €70m, that would be a good deal.
Big question then is, will the Dark Knight allow signings to be made?!
2.) 24 Aug 2023 10:35:53
When Man U or City come calling hey will turn any player's head. That's always the case. If we have FFP sorted with existing sales, then no need to sell unless Nunes has been promised a future move when he signed for us.
Lot of hysteria (?) today about Wolves being sold, even by some of the most sensible fans on this site. Complete rubbish in my opinion. Sales of PL clubs do not go through in the dark. When Fosun bought Wolves it was a very public process with many bidders. Lighten up everybody!
3.) 24 Aug 2023 11:19:09
Initial Nunes bid rejected, let's hope we can all take a breathe for now! ?
4.) 24 Aug 2023 11:21:48
Well if Nunes goes then we are up s*** creek without a paddle. Prepare yourself for relegation and championship football next season. Oh and here comes the revolution against Fosun/Shi.
5.) 24 Aug 2023 11:41:19
Nunes can go he is like a petulant spoilt kid, get 65 million plus and kick him up the ar@e out the door, doesn't want to be here let him go
6.) 24 Aug 2023 11:57:23
If City had offered £65m I suspect we would have, instead they offered £5m more than we paid. Only an absolute fool would consider that a valid return on a £38m investment!
7.) 24 Aug 2023 12:42:10
That is what I worry about Bully.that is a good description of our main decision-maker!
8.) 24 Aug 2023 12:52:05
Fosun's 10 year plan is totally FUBAR.
9.) 24 Aug 2023 12:53:40
its bull all the monewy is covering FFP closeing down sale
10.) 24 Aug 2023 12:54:46
Totally agree Deep, names would be being mentioned, not countries. Also, if Fosun were to sell up its not going to be done in a week or two either. If/Once they find a buyer it'll then have to be passed as a fit and proper person by the premier league.
11.) 24 Aug 2023 12:56:21
whats goods £65 million if not a penny goes back into the team
12.) 24 Aug 2023 13:36:43
Probably Fosun who the ones insisting lmao
13.) 25 Aug 2023 09:56:07
We sold collins for very little or o profit atall so why would fosun bother aboutselling nunes aswell.and now he knows city want him nunes won't be bothered about what happens to wolves.given the choice any player would choose city
04 Mar 2021 08:14:26
What's with the rumour that Max Kilman is not trusted by Nuno and will be sold? I would have thought that Max would be one of the last to be sold! Just my opionion.
1.) 04 Mar 2021 12:26:28
It's come from Talking Wolves, that guy spins more bs than a cattle farm.
2.) 08 Mar 2021 19:54:49
Have to agree Doog, iv been very impressed with Kilman seems solid for me should be in the starting lineup.
22 Apr 2018 09:51:04
Any news as to whether Carl Ikeme will be lifting the trophy next week?
1.) 23 Apr 2018 21:49:19
Can only hope.
06 Mar 2018 10:05:09
Leeds are now contacting the FA, calling for an official investigation with reference to the influence of Mendes. Hope we hammer them on Wednesday night.
1.) 06 Mar 2018 11:10:20
That's all the motivation we should need to spank them tomorrow night 💪👊.
2.) 06 Mar 2018 11:24:44
Leeds, Villa and Derby. three little 5 letter names. all with little minds. Can't win the league on the pitch, maybe the FA will help us.
How low can you get?
Let's go out and show em who the Champions really are.
Hope Fulham and Sheff Utd come up with us.
3.) 06 Mar 2018 11:26:33
They're coming across as two faced only yesterday Paul Heckingbottom was saying Wolves are amongst the best in Championship.
4.) 06 Mar 2018 12:02:40
Fulham deserve it on current form and Sheffield United because they managed to get Leon Clarke scoring goals lol.
5.) 06 Mar 2018 20:37:50
It's just like Bradley Wiggins, if you are too good bring 'em down.
U. K. society is just sh*te you just can't celebrate success. let's all moan about others achievements it's so much more positive Wednesfield.
6.) 06 Mar 2018 22:45:28
It's laughable it really is.
In 16+17 season (latest figures available) Wolves were 12th in the table for fees paid to agents.
You guessed it, both Villa and Derby were above us (Villa paying way over £5m to our £1.2m) .
Points make prizes.
Still 7.5 points ahead of third with a game in hand with 11 games to go!
Come on boys!
7.) 07 Mar 2018 08:37:14
How many do we need to win before we’re promoted?
8.) 08 Mar 2018 15:12:00
Well we're 10 points above 3rd (Villa) with 11 games to go. Villa can get 33 points max so we need another 24 to be absolutely sure they stay behind us.
Fulham have played an extra game and are 11 points behind us. So they can get a max of 30. We need just 20 more to finish in front of them. We only need 16 to finish above Derby. In short, Villa is our biggest threat. A win on Saturday would mean they can get only 30 more points and we'd be 13 points ahead so just 18 needed. A real 6-pointer!

Ffs here we go again
3.) 04 Dec 2024 19:47:46
15 minutes gone and we look poor
4.) 04 Dec 2024 19:51:31
This start is far too typical.
5.) 04 Dec 2024 20:08:20
We're down and out
6.) 04 Dec 2024 20:11:27
This is such an awful performance.
7.) 04 Dec 2024 20:26:17
I don't think even the most positive of fans can defend that 1st half performance.
If GON stays, we are 100% down. If someone, anyone comes in, it at least give us a f8ghting chance to try something different.
8.) 04 Dec 2024 20:27:23
Come back Kilman
9.) 04 Dec 2024 21:24:13
Agreed VOR, not sure how anyone can look at this back line and not see that Kilman is light years better than anyone else we have! Dawson looks so FAR off the pace and he's our best cb! All the goals tonight AGAIN from set pieces! We lack any quality to win a first ball, something Kilman (and Boly before him) excelled at!
Whatever happens with GON I'm genuinely worried that this defence is too poor to survive! I hope keeping that £43m in transfer funds was worth it Jeff! If we'd spent just half of it properly we might have a Prem standard defence right now?!
09 Nov 2024 19:25:53
Am I right in saying that Man City haven't won since Nunes has started in the team?
04 Nov 2024 11:52:53
Was in Tesco's in Whitehaven this morning, standing behind me was a big bloke with a very recognisable accent. Turns out he was from Wolverhampton and lives not far from where I used to live in Penn. of course he is a Wolves supporter but only his brother has a season ticket and goes to the pub I used to go to after a match the Gifford Arms. What a small world. I thought for a brief moment he was Phil but I think he was a lot younger than Phil. Where is he anyway, hope he is OK.
1.) 04 Nov 2024 15:47:59
Indeed Phil and Jas have both fallen out of circulation hope you are both ok and still following this site and the team.
10 Oct 2024 08:24:21
Isn't it unusual (in fact never) for an out of work manager (Potter) to talk about a manager in a job (Gon)? I would take all of this with a big spoonful of salt, even though I would take Potter any day.
1.) 10 Oct 2024 11:25:48
Potter always seems to be a bit of a slow burner at his previous clubs. It takes him time to get going and unfortunately I don't think we're a club that would give him time. Long term he could be a good option, but I'm not sure long term is in the thinking of the relevant parties with any potential new manager.
There are plenty of good options out there, but I fully expect GON will last about 6 more weeks and then a panic recruitment will be made likely in the form of Big Sam who will possibly get us tighter at the back, but it will be too late and he'll walk away at the end of the season leaving us need a new manager with a disgruntled fan base in the championship.
I really hope I'm wrong, but that's what plays out in my head at the moment.
2.) 11 Oct 2024 13:54:40
I was talking to a West Ham-supporting mate recently. He was having a moan about Lopetegui. I asked if he had wanted to keep David Moyes. No, the manager he really wanted to keep was Big Sam.
3.) 11 Oct 2024 17:39:34
I would have loved Big Sam to have taken over as Manager a few years ago.
Local boy, Wolves fan and proven track record at this level. The style might not have been the best but we'd never really flirt with relegation.
4.) 11 Oct 2024 18:46:28
Haha, us supporters are such a funny bunch. That's WHU fan is a case and point Deep! So they are moaning about Lopetegui, who is currently in 12th then said there favourite manager was Big Sam who BEST finish was 10th (which I suspect Lope will finish well above). All the while he didn't rate the ONE manager in his life time that's delivered them a Euro Cup (Moyes)?! Like I say a funny bunch us footy fans! ??
5.) 12 Oct 2024 11:40:46
Couldn't agree more Bully about my West Ham mate. The grass is always greener! That said, in the current emergency (45 points dropped from 51 in last 17 PL matches) I would take Big Sam at Wolves right now. Hell, I would even take Lopetegui. Bad runs can be temporary, but we might be sleep-walking to relegation right now.
6.) 12 Oct 2024 12:05:12
No so much sleepwalking as blindfolded, or stiubborn blinkered vision, towards the end of the plank deep throat. Someone's got to turn it around fast.
7.) 12 Oct 2024 14:48:51
If those 45 points had been dropped in one season he would be long gone. Games up I'm afraid.
8.) 12 Oct 2024 17:40:36
Don't think they are sleepwalking to relegation, they are fully aware of the situation and have accepted the outcome. They will still get parachute payments and won't have to spend, which suits the owners. It's just the loyal fans that suffer and I don't think that bothers Fosun one bit.
9.) 13 Oct 2024 20:23:01
Wiĺl the players stay if Sam is coach?
08 Oct 2024 19:22:23
Sorry for the confusion, it is on Sky Sports +
1.) 08 Oct 2024 21:51:45
Watched the match doog, dunno your impression in a 3-0 defeat, but I recognised the same patterns as the main team. The boring back passing, poor marking leaving Wrexham players free at the back post and no urgency to get forward. Yes it was the lads and they were up against it abit but I'd be totally fed up being asked to play like that.
That said they try their hardest, had or were allowed to have, most possession in the 1st half and but for west's poor positioning could have gone in 1 down instead of 2.
Second half wrexham took control, but the 3rd was finished superbly well after a pond challenge spun backwards dropping perfectly for an acrobatic volley.
Wolves rarely looked forward with speed, no one could carry the ball although I thought cundle was the exception but being brought down at every attempt.
It was the worst I've seen of them this season and underlined our lack of adventure runs from top to bottom and changes to our game plan needs urgent review.
2.) 09 Oct 2024 06:21:50
Hi Abbey,
People who continually criticise Fosun, might want to reconsider then. Didn't watch the game but based on your brief summary seems to be similar poor coaching and tactics steaming from the top.
3.) 09 Oct 2024 08:31:42
Totally agree with you Abbey, I know it was a case of 'men against boys' but there was no urgency, no apparent plan, just, in my inexpert view passing aimlessly in the hope that someone might be on the end of it and far too slow. Unfortunately, it was usually Wrexham. It was almost like looking at a junior version of the first team. I could not pick one player who might make it to the first team. Disappointed. As I said, men against boys but that should have been an incentive to at least have a go.
4.) 09 Oct 2024 08:47:56
Forgot to say, but GON now reminds me of another Solabbaken and look how that turned out. Set us back for years.
5.) 09 Oct 2024 09:14:01
Sorry Black but that is a bizarre thing to say?! So people that criticise Fosun might want to reconsider because the rot is obviously coming from the top?! Not sure how to break this to you fella but Fosun ARE the top! They have hired every single one of those coaches they have also sat by and watch things get worse and worse! Fosun ARE the rot that's set in or at least there general apathy towards the club is! The sooner people realise that the sooner we might see something change!
6.) 09 Oct 2024 09:36:14
I think you're missing the point Blackfords. All teams will have a bad day at the office but if this malaise has spread through the club at all levels then who should take responsibility, the employees?
My criticism was about the apparent lack of governance from the top and the apparent mandate to make Wolves self sufficient financially. It's a nice thought, but Wolves can only make money by regularly selling off it's major assets, replacing them with younger, cheaper or not Premier ready players.
That is actually a race to the bottom amply demonstrated over the last few years. While other clubs are showing ambition and improving their squads we're doing the exact opposite, hence our current position in the league, again. I for one won't be reconsidering anything, maybe Fosun should.
7.) 09 Oct 2024 10:46:37
I have to say that one or two on here have VERY short memories! GON worked absolute miracles last year, as he did at Bournemouth the year before! In fact in both cases he was even talked about as a possible nomination for manager of the year then what over night he's suddenly become SO bad that we are comparing him to Solbakken?! C'mon guys get a grip! Yes Gary is not doing well, hell I'll even agree that much of it is self inflicted by the wrong tactics but that doesn't suddenly make him a terrible manager does it?! So Lopetegui must be useless as well cause he's had a bad start at WHU so he's just now a rubbish manager is he?! Behave, that's not how life works! Yes GON is struggling and of course I'm realistic enough to know it could cost him his job. However, after saving our backsides last year despite it being an entirely thankless task I would have hoped and expected that he'd built up a little more credit in the bank than some on here are giving him credit for?! Loyalty cuts both ways ya know, or at least it should! ?
8.) 09 Oct 2024 11:23:56
Absolutely Bullys, stick Pep in there and watch him crash and burn. GON is struggling but I'm guessing that he is working to an instruction from above, which hopefully the penny has now dropped it isn't working.
He initially may have bought into it but all can see we don't have the players and frankly I'm not convinced we'll do much better playing 3/5 at the back with the ones we've got left. Now that would really drive home the point and our reality.
9.) 09 Oct 2024 11:41:09
I should maybe add that I've watched the U21s in other games this year when they've played, Port Vale Everton Sheff utd and they've been tremendous in their energy, appetite for goal and structure. It just struck me last night how similar the game was to the tactics on Saturday, and how boring it was to watch.
10.) 09 Oct 2024 14:22:36
Sorry guys, yes Fosun/Shi for appointing the Manager, but if you fail at your job in any walk of life then you get fired. Yes I also realise that you need support from above to help you do that job, but GON must have been fairly happy with the level of support as he signed a nice 4 year contract after letting Neto go.
I know Fosun are treating us as a business and don't have the emotional input that we as supporters do, but we do have a very talented team. Why else do our players keep getting linked to other teams? I really hope that GON turns it around but by early December we'll know.
11.) 09 Oct 2024 16:15:09
That's fair enough Black, I get that everyone's entitled to their opinion but I do think it's (always) easy to forget what a manager has achieved especially when on the kind of run we are.
I also have to question (as I have previously) if this team REALLY is as good as peeps are making out?! For example, of the players we have left have ANY actually been tied with moves and even more to the point (forget the paper talk) how many have had actual bids made made for them (somewhat ironically Hwang is the only one I can think of)?! Sorry but I just don't actually think this team is that good to be honest. I think we have a few talented individuals (Cunha, Lemina and Gomes) Mosquera was probably our most exciting defender and he's also no longer availible!
It's such a funny one because on the one hand all I read on here is how bad players performances are (Hwang, Semedo and Ait spring to mind) then in the next breathe the same poster will say how good the squad is which just doesn't add up does it?! For me I think we have (as best) a handful of proven quality Prem players for the rest it mostly seems to be a LOT of potiential and 'possible' talent! Like Lima, Forbs or R. Gomes, who are all SO good that we've hardly seen um play?! Sorry but it just doesn't add up for me, so (genuine question:) if we've got so much talent why are performances across the board so consistently, shockingly poor?!
12.) 09 Oct 2024 16:55:08
Agree blacksford, we have talented players, there are very promising players in the U21, what struck me last night was that they wernt having freedom to perform to their abilities. I'm not a coach by any means but the guys are only doing what they're told surely. Hopefully GON, Collins whoever will come up with a successful remedy.
13.) 09 Oct 2024 20:59:18
As it stands guys, what do you think will happen, when we lose to city, and Brighton,
The longer you go without winning, the harder it becomes, to get it out of your heads, I fear for us.
I want us to go on a run of wins
In my heart, but my brain can't see it at moment,
Pray we find out form, quickly
Coyw
14.) 10 Oct 2024 06:02:59
I think we need a breath of fresh air to rediscover ourselves greyleg, sadly I can't honestly see GON lifting the doom, and as you say, the longer it goes on the harder it'll get.
15.) 10 Oct 2024 08:37:50
BB2
You have a go (at most posters on here anyway usually) and now say the sooner we realise it's all down to Fosun the sooner it will change.
I think an awful lot / most do think the overall club malaise and situation is primarily down to Fosun (not forgetting how they got us to Prem and gave us the magic Nuno years anyway), so how do you think us realising it's Fosun is going to make it change soon!?
No way, dream on pal.
16.) 10 Oct 2024 10:50:20
Haha, thanks for that Rollo nice to see your being constructive as ever! Sorry for 'having a go' I'd like to think it's called 'debate' and part of what a forum is all about, no?! Would it not be a little dull and somewhat pointless if we all came on here and acted like a massive echo chamber?!
As to your other point what's the answer then, you tell me?! Let's just keep firing manager after manager, while after EVERY transfer window they all say 'well that didn't go to plan' (which all four of our last managers have said)!
And you say it won't make a change, what happened to Morgan then, he still running the club is he?! Cause as gross as all that played out there is no getting away from the fact that Morgan sold after it was made abundantly (and somewhat offensively) clear that he wasn't wanted in our club.
The point that I was trying to make (and that you seem to have pointedly missed) is that consistently repeating the same thing and expecting a different result is definition of madness! But still some are already just shouting sack the manager, so if everyone knows its Fosun why is half this page filled with ideas for who can replace GON? Would be interesting to read your reply but as I'm a grown up I'll see it for what it is, debate on a forum. Rather than how a child might see it 'having a go'! Cheers 'pal' ???

23 Oct 2024 08:27:13
Considering our difficult start due to the teams we had to face, how are the fixtures arranged? Are they taken out of a hat or what? Or, in our case, did they pick the top ten teams for us to play first? Personally, I do not believe that we are not wanted in the Premier league, that makes no sense at all.
20 Oct 2024 08:25:38
What does 'tied' mean or have you been watching too much Ted Lasso LOL
