So Wolves may be interested in Niclas Fulkrug of West Ham alongside Fulham according to Keith Wyness.
It would make sense as I'm pretty sure they intend to sell JSL at some point in the near future.
1.) 13 Nov 2025 11:15:41
Sorry LongmyndWolf he's more injured than Callum wilson which says a lot plus he's 32 no from me. Put something on went on to Banters page have a read.
2.) 13 Nov 2025 11:23:07
Fulkrug is absolutely useless, shockingingly average. So we'd be swapping a proven Prem player for one that's not up to it, so like you say makes sense buddy looking at our previous/current transfer strategy! ?
3.) 13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
4.) 14 Nov 2025 12:53:30
It is all so depressing .
I have been a Wolves fan since the 1960s
and apart from the Bhatti era I can't remember ma more depressing time to be a Wolves fan.
Fosun will hopefully dump us when we're relegated around March time.
Then hopefully we will get owner's who are not just interested in making money and to hell with football and the fans.
05 Nov 2025 21:00:11
Emmanuel Petit has suggested that Mourinho could be a potential candidate for the Wolves job.
His rational being that Mourinho himself said in October '24 after Fenerbahce he would like to take on a lower Premier League club who are nowhere near European competition, or words to that effect.
Now at Benfica where things aren't exactly working out for him, so.
I know so don't shoot the messenger.?
1.) 05 Nov 2025 21:26:05
Could mean massive compensation though Long, on top of salary expectations.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
3.) 05 Nov 2025 22:50:37
Mourinho wouldn't take crap from the players either, i'd have him at Wolves.
But as already pointed out by Arrdunby it would require high compensation and high salaries.
4.) 06 Nov 2025 06:19:26
Rated mate no way mourinho is well past his sell by date he's been sacked in his last 4 jobs I think.
5.) 06 Nov 2025 06:21:54
It feels like wishful thinking chaps.
Too rich an option for us. UNLESS, Fosun do look to bring in proper Senior Management at the top and a whole new approach taken.
6.) 06 Nov 2025 08:55:04
Rosenior.be a good shout I reckon
7.) 06 Nov 2025 12:43:51
Rosenior would be a good shout if he wanted the job, but also if he's given 18 months and not just to the end of the season. If / when we go down changing the head coach again seems a waste unless we go down without a fight.
At the moment we just may have to accept whoever it is due to a lack of pulling power (unless it turns out to be Shi in a tracksuit).
8.) 06 Nov 2025 14:29:10
Rob Edwards has emerged as the clear bookies' odds-on favourite overnight. He made a good attempt at keeping Luton in the PL and is doing very well with Middlesbrough, 3rd in the table. He surely wouldn't take the Wolves job if he wasn't confident he could keep us up.
9.) 06 Nov 2025 18:21:57
I would like to see Rob as our manager as long as fosun give him a chance to get us back up if we are relegated
Let's be honest .this wolves team are in a mess and whoever takes over will need a decent war chest.
14 Aug 2025 09:08:20
I see the Ben Doak link has resurfaced with Wolves and a couple of others interested.
Just 19 but plenty of potential especially as he's been 'raised' in UK football so no resettlement issues.
What do we think?
1.) 14 Aug 2025 09:32:43
He had a good first half of last season in championship then out injured. I've heard Liverpool want a very low buyback clause.
Would be an option off the bench but would having him compromise the development of Lopez?
2.) 14 Aug 2025 09:38:03
Apparently Carney Chukwuemeka is available from Chelsea for £12-15mil, again has had his injuries but seems to be past them.
3.) 14 Aug 2025 10:18:07
Be very suprised if oak came here. Our history and name means nothing anymore and shi said " if you want trophies " look elsewhere and doak probably will
{Ed001's Note - he is just looking to play regular first team football.}
4.) 14 Aug 2025 11:48:41
Kalimuendo set for Premier League move in coming days' Rennes have not commented on who the club is, player has agreed terms also, Ed’s what’s the chances this may be Wolves ??
5.) 14 Aug 2025 13:34:41
I like the look of Doak and Elliott played well in preseason.
Cb-Disasi
CM/CAM-Elliott
St-Fofana
FW-Doak
RWB-Sanchez (Still hasn't gone Napoli)
Questions over Elliott can cover in midfield and as a no 10 Vitor has said he wants this.
I know- why have I mentioned Sanchez he hasn't left Seville so I guess our offer is better than Napoli's?
Didn't realise Veiga has to be sold according to Chelsea so that probably does rule wolves out (at £35m) but maybe a loan and obligation next summer (Mendes client so worth watching).
6.) 14 Aug 2025 14:38:16
We've been offered LLoyd Kelly. I'm starting to think that on loan with a buy option isn't a bad idea, would probably be a starter and between him and Toti we'd have LB cover and be better equipped to switch to a 4 at the back if needed?
7.) 14 Aug 2025 15:15:30
Not against Lloyd Kelly MW.
What happened to the link with Mingueza?
Yes the pink hair lwb on Saturday when we played Vigo. ?
Thought he played well to be fair looked a step up on the other players on the pitch.
8.) 14 Aug 2025 15:26:17
Mingueza, good player but will only move for a champions league club and probably out of or price range
9.) 14 Aug 2025 16:31:21
Hmm suppose he wants to lay his claim for the WC spot.
Didn't realise he played rwb as well (as played in Nations League final)
Would a move to Wolves be that bad under Vitor?
Aghehowa is the same yes playing CL football is all well and good.
But you can develop so much more in the prem (if you have the character and technical ability).
Is staying at Celta Vigo and Porto better?
Apart from the weather and lifestyle. I do think from a professional stand point moving to the prem is far superior over what ever you do at either of those clubs.
Especially in your mid 20's. I remember we were linked with Kessie and Talisca in the past and thought why aren't they going for it? Suppose some players just don't fancy it.
As a player you put yourself on the world stage like Kerkez, Huijsen, MGW, Evanlison etc etc.
22 Jul 2025 18:30:36
Apparently Arias is in Paris for his medical. Wolves are doing it there while they await his UK visa.
He'll probably be here in a couple of days.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 19:48:12
I can see 4 more coming LB, CB, CM and FW.
Who would everyone like to come is the question?
LB: Lino, Reguilon
CB: Renan, Martins
CM: Gallagher, Raskin
FW: Elliott, Yuri Alberto, Aghehowa
Please note I think on top of these 4 signings I think there will be some loans coming in, as if Hwang, Guedes and possibly Silva are sold it would leave us short.
My reasoning for this is the signings above with Lopes and Arias literally replace the players that left at the end of the season: Dawson, RAN, Semedo, Sarabia and Cunha. This is before Doyle and Traore have since left.
So these signings are literally replenishing the squad before further sales can be made.
On another note there is a few players out there that may be tempting to make an offer on Diomande (Sporting), Victor Nelsson (Galatasaray) and Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) some a bit out there but links with Diomande and Akliouche. Nelsson isn't happy at Galatasaray.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 20:57:01
I agree Madman with the positions to fill and some good ideas there. Another forward to add to the mix is Garnacho, united have put a £40mil price tag on him, as we sold them cunha a deal could be made
3.) 23 Jul 2025 06:24:37
Stretch5 Garnacho is on big money at MU Wolves have no chance and not at 40mill.
15 Jun 2025 12:18:50
An interesting news item on EPL Index claiming that Fer Lopez 21 is still playing on his reserve team contract which means Wolves will only have to pay £20M for him not the £40M release clause in his first team contract.
Allegedly their Sporting Director decided not to promote him to the first team squad yet.
Apparently, Celta Vigo are powerless to stop the transfer as the player has agreed terms with Wolves so presumably wants the move. Only outstanding issue are the stage payment details, which Mendes will get resolved so if he pulls this off he's earning his corn already.
This may well be true as I couldn't see Wolves paying £40M for an untested but highly rated youngster can you?
1.) 15 Jun 2025 14:47:07
Fer Lopez is currently on holiday with Strand Larson, they’re very good friends, have been for quite a while. Obviously JSL has had a good word in his shell like, and sold the club, set up, manager and fans to him. This really looks like a very good signing, the Celta Vigo fans are going ballistic at losing him, not just at the reduced price, they’re very angry with the club for letting him leave
2.) 15 Jun 2025 15:21:03
I agree with everyone who's had an opinion but my concern is there has still been no mention of a medical.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 19:05:31
What.another silva signing.we need players whobare ready NOW.wev lost 30 goals with cunha and ran leaving.so we spend all this money on a kid whose hardly played at the top level whol start on the bench.do we ever learn?.this does not bode well for future signings if wer going down this route.obviously we wer never really in for elliot
4.) 15 Jun 2025 21:19:13
Just remind me how old AIT, Jota, Neves and Gomes were when they signed for us.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 21:39:41
Nice one WS, there's so much negativity on here.
Personally, I think we'll sign some proper players and our team will be stronger than last season. Players that will improve over time and give us an exciting season.
UTW
6.) 15 Jun 2025 22:40:55
Wandering - As Arddunby states below they, (in fact all of the ones you mentioned), cost a fair bit less and were an awful lot more experienced, which of course is exactly my point, so thanks!
As I state I have never seen him play - although given he has virtually never played senior football I doubt too many of us have - but am willing to take a balanced view that our recruitment team have and rate him highly.
However to be so blasé about the clear and obvious risk in this transfer given our parlous state beggars belief.
Tim we haven't got time for them to improve! These players, the ones we are spending Euro 20m + on, have to hit the ground running. We, for financial reasons, can't buy more than a handful of players at these prices but may well need something like a dozen or so new bodies. If Lopez costs over Euro 20m and is not one of the nailed on starters then we may find ourselves needing to find one in the bargain bucket - a far tougher task.
7.) 15 Jun 2025 23:29:44
TFIOG there's always a risk with players pretty sure a risk on an £18m is part and parcel of the prem these days.
On the flip side we could have signed Neves, Jota and Co and they just didn't fancy a Tuesday night at stoke or playing in the British winter as some papers were hoping.
I trust the club after 7 seasons of prem football and Vitor to get a squad together. Sale of some players that have stayed with us 3-5 years we can't complain with that.
And PSR is supposed to be less stringent for us anyway.
8.) 16 Jun 2025 07:51:06
Transfer fees have gone up on average 13.8% over the last 10 or so years, so whilst I appreciate that Jota and Neves etc were cheaper when we bought them, what would they cost in todays market?
9.) 16 Jun 2025 08:43:15
Madman - good response.
Of course there are risks in all transactions but some have more than others. An experienced player from the same league being at the low end and an inexperienced player from overseas being at the high end.
Normally this would be reflected in the price, the so called British Premium, but it appears we are paying a relatively high price for a player at the high end of the scale.
Hopefully what this means is that he is indeed a v special player - but that is exactly what we were told re Fabio!
Re trust obviously it was well merited under Nuno but since then, although we obviously have signed some diamonds, we have had a more patchy record. Last summer most of the players signed did not make the contribution we will be requiring from this year's crop.
Fortunately it is not the club that we have to trust as I am not sure that what that means - surely not Jeff - but Vitor and his team who to date have done enough to deserve some slack.
However as I stated it is impossible to get all transfers right and one could argue that of his 3 signings Djiga, Munetsi and Emmanuel only the latter looks like a nailed on starter.
Despite your comment on PSR we simply cannot afford a 1 in 3 hit rate if we are paying Euro20m + a time.
aken a battering over
10.) 16 Jun 2025 09:37:37
Wandering You can obtain your answer by simple Maths. Take their transfer fees and increase by 13.8%, (although neither were bought as far back as ten years ago).
You will find that, as stated, although both were far more experienced both were, especially if the fee is more than the initial Euro 20m postulated, a lot cheaper. So thanks for the clarification.
11.) 16 Jun 2025 11:44:59
TFIOG, just for info. Diogo Jota had made 78 appearances for all clubs before he joined us aged 20 years 6 months
Ruben Neves had made 59 appearances before he joined us aged 20 years 3 months
Fer Lopez has made 77 appearances and is 21 years and 1 month.
12.) 16 Jun 2025 12:03:50
Wandering I think you'll find the majority of those are for celta de vigo ii or RC Celta Fortuna the reserve side and not la liga or other Tier 1 appearences.
13.) 16 Jun 2025 12:44:53
OK. Good point. In that case he's made 17 appearance compared to Jotas 27 (I've disregarded the appearances he made for Pacos de Ferreira in the lower leagues)
But then, AIT only had 23 appearances for Angers before he joined us.
The point is, why are we judging Lopez before he's even set foot in the doors?
14.) 16 Jun 2025 13:37:43
Bit of calm required folks but the piece on Sky Sports about him makes very interesting and promising reading.
15.) 16 Jun 2025 16:34:43
Jota played 41 matches for pacos de fereira in 2014- 2016, they were a Portuguese tier 1 club at the time. He then played 27 times for porto on loan from athletico Madrid prior to joining WWFC on loan.
16.) 16 Jun 2025 18:06:57
Cheers TFIOG it wasn't a dig at your opinion. Just stating there is a risk with all deals. The signings from January could have flopped. Everyone goes on about Fabio Silva but in his first season he actually didn't do too bad but was being compared to Raul who was in the top 10 strikers in Europe before his injury.
We have wasted money on Bueno, Cutrone, Guedes, Nunes, Sasa, Silva, Traore over the past few seasons.
Say wasted sometimes life gets in the way with the death of his dad in Cutrones case. Rip Guedes was signed as a false 9 but is definitely a winger. Nunes probably struggled with the physicality first 3 months or so but technically ever good. Etc etc etc.
So I'm with Old Wulf get behind them let's see what happens we aren't in the market for stupidly expensive players that are moving for the money. ODCL

24 Nov 2025 06:25:50
I'm taking a break from posting on here so I would like to thank everyone for their past comments and interactions and of course the Ed's for making this site the best Wolves blog on the internet with their knowledge and management of it.
Under Shi/Fosun change won't happen and most now know it, so there seems little point in repeating the same criticisms of our owners and their domestic managerial incompetence that leaves us with nothing to get excited about.
Assuming we do get relegated they will have effectively fined themselves about £400M and treated their own supporters with the ultimate disrespect. Managers, like players come and go in football, some work out, some don't, in fact without the owners support none will. We've just brought in yet another Coach/Manager but under Fosun's transfer policies he'll fail just like the 5 before him, not necessarily because of him but because of them.
Any new signings need to be of a high standard but that won't happen as the die is cast and the damage is now well and truly done. As for the new Manager choice, to me the only logical explanation is preparation for the Championship such is the extent of Shi/Fosun's failure to provide funding, ambition or leadership.
Personally, I can do without all the disappointment in my life, so I plan to concentrate on my other hobbies, things that actually bring me pleasure. I've been a Wolves fan for 60 years now and will still hope for an upturn, but won't expect it until Shi/Fosun are gone and ambition returns.
1.) 24 Nov 2025 06:38:18
Sorry to hear of your choice to break from posting longmynd, you've remain a stalwart of the wolves, and your informative thought provoking and reminders have always been enjoyed and respected, at least by myself.!.

Sorry to read that LMW. If I recall your a motorbike enthusiast like myself. Enjoy, but remember don't let Fosun grind you down. I fear darker days ahead now for WWFC, possibly administration, but they will go and we'll rise again.
As supporters we need to protest their ownership to try and force them out by whatever means possible. Yes new owners are a risk an unknown, but I would rather take that now than this. All the best.
7.) 24 Nov 2025 12:24:06
Sad to read this Long, you are an exceptional poster, and a poet to boot. If by some miracle we survive in the PL this season, I hope you return. That scenario is the only way I can envisage Fosun leaving, by surviving and selling.
If we're relegated, Fosun will probably be our forever owners as they are unlikely to sell for for the pittance they paid for us.
8.) 24 Nov 2025 11:24:46
Despite the new name - as the system has thrown me out again - it is still the same miserable old git from before.
Long your poetry was astonishingly brilliant and your comments and insights equally so!
You will be missed!
However I cannot say I am surprised.
You may have noticed I post a lot less these days as well as sadly what is there to say.
I am embarrassed and ashamed and don't even watch MoftD anymore.
I have also lost interest in Fantasy where I used to compete in numerous leagues!
Fosun haven't just killed Wolves they have killed top flight football for me - I now watch loads of non league and lower league stuff plus go to the occasional rugby match - saw Pumas yesterday!
I still read posts here and elsewhere from people "hoping" that there will be a recovery and talking about resets and investment by Jeff.
The only thing Jeff has done well is cover his tracks.
When reality hits, (and it is going to get a lot, lot worse than this), it is going to be a real eye opener for some.
9.) 24 Nov 2025 15:26:52
Saddened by your decision longmynd, like all on here I lover reading your posts, hope your back soon. Does anyone on here think there is an outside chance RE can turn it round before we are mathematically relegated
Reading gomes, andre arias, jsl, might be sold
Who would come to us. In this predicament,
I know we will still be wolves fans whatever
Division we were in
I want us at least to play everygame from now on
With pride, passion, enthusiasm, and show commitment to every fan who watches them play.

It's a sad day when they lose a good supporter, me and my mate who have had our tickets for years have decided if they sell J. Gomes then this season is our last. Sick of seeing our best moved on for profit to be replaced by third raters. This lot couldn't run a tap!
12.) 24 Nov 2025 17:01:23
Just a final word for now to say thanks for your kind comments Gents and yes NGSM you've sussed me out as I currently have a couple of bike related projects on the go.
Like you TFIOG I'm finding solace in Rugby again right now, especially the international game with England on the rise and the Red Roses totally dominant. I haven't watched MOTD at all this season with Fosun also sucking my interest in elite league football totally dry.
It's not about Premier League glory hunting but without ambition there is no basis for hope in any division.
13.) 24 Nov 2025 18:20:30
Greyleg, I'll stick my neck out and say there's an outside chance that we will survive. Very outside mind you! I'm basing my optimism on Leicester City. Despite Leicester being marooned at the bottom of the table for four-and-a-half months between late November 2014 and mid-April 2015, the Foxes managed to put together a run of seven wins from their last nine fixtures to survive comfortably.
And of course they won the PL the following season, at 5, 000 to 1. And of course, they were eventually relegated. Also RE did an incredible job at Luton, keeping them competitive to the end, and only 6 points adrift in18th place when relegated.
14.) 24 Nov 2025 19:28:43
as those have said before, Your posts will be missed.
I do believe we still have a chance of surviving, yes a very slim one to say the least, but you have to stay positive when down at the bottom of the trenches. I think most of us on here have the same feelings on how our club has been run, and how all the good times of only a few years ago are a very distant memory right now, but its where we are and nothing will change that.
We have a good fan base no matter what division we have been in, and believe me, we have seen it all, good and bad! But my feeling on it all now is, Fosun are not going anywhere, and no matter how much people jump up and down and scream for them to go, the threats of boycotts or protests will do nothing but cause more pain for all involved, seem that in life now when things get hard, everyone things a protest will solve it, NOW is the time for all of us, on here or at the games to pull in the one direction, get behind Rob and the, if you want to moan and stamp your feet stay away, it does nobody any favours, including yourself.
15.) 24 Nov 2025 19:33:14
Will miss you long.
Nothing will change until these owners are gone
I'm finding solace in going to my local A league club who mind you are winning games of football.

16.) 24 Nov 2025 22:32:40
Repeat everyone’s comments Long - sorry to hear you’re taking a break but hope you’ll at least keep your eye on us?
There’ll be a time when things will change for the better and I for one will be looking forward to a few magically rhymed words to keep us motivated.
17.) 25 Nov 2025 08:22:18
So long Long and all the best for the future. I'm sure you are nowhere near alone in being a Match of the Day avoider. Haven't seen a single one myself and unlikely to unless we win so that's just 2 viewings this season (Villa home and away; very much tongue in cheek).Maybe catch you in the Ragleth sometime but we'll have to wear carnations!
13 Nov 2025 22:19:12
Just listened to Rob Edwards first interview. He seemed to be honest and realistic about what needs to be done and admitted that this is the job that he always wanted, hence his reason to leave 'Boro.
His commitment, therefore, can't be questioned but two things sprung to mind:
1) Does he have the authority and gravitas to re-motivate the squad.
2) Has Jeff given him the usual BS and will undermine any progress he does make in Fosun's usual manner.
Obviously, he wants the fans to play their part but I think deep down he knows they/we have been cr*pped on for far too long now. Still, I'm sure he'll get the support but the players need to reciprocate and he can't shy away from benching those that don't.
So yet another new Manager and yet another new chapter in our chequered recent history. Can he do it? I get the impression that it won't be for the lack of trying, so good luck to him, he'll need it.
1.) 14 Nov 2025 08:48:05
I just hope that this appointment brings us a period of stability which will be a welcome change from all the knee jerk decisions that have placed us in this position. Avoiding relegation is a big task and realistically unlikely but if Edwards can be given the necessary time and resources he may well be able to build something more sustainable and progressive putting us into a better long term position than we have had to endure for the past few seasons.
Good luck to him and his staff, I feel our immediate future is in good hands.
2.) 14 Nov 2025 13:01:50
In reply to Long above, we can only hope that Edwards has the authority and gravitas to re-motivate the squad, given his limited coaching experience. He did a great job with the inferior squad he had at Luton, and they only finished 6 points adrift at 18th place in the PL (clearly an improvement on our current standing!).
I was reading that we had a net spend in the summer window of only £2mil. Plus, the standard of signings was very, very mixed. Maybe VP couldn't get the players he wanted, but the summer debacle cannot be repeated. If it is and we go down, Jeff's head must be on a plate and he must be told that now.
3.) 15 Nov 2025 10:36:52
Derry - completely agree re stability but sadly fear that is highly unlikely given the state of the finances that will almost certainly mean major upheaval again this summer, (if not in January), regardless of which division the club finds itself in.
Deep - far from certain the Luton squad was much worse. Obviously they didn't have a J Gomes or Andre but I doubt they had such a tail of totally inadequate and inexperienced/unsuited to the English game, players.
Also who is telling Jeff anything? One can only assume that Fosun have been happy with what he has achieved over the past few years - which obviously has, (other than to a few on here), been far from satisfactory from the team/club's perspective.
From Rob's point of view it is now or never. The next 4 although not as easy as some of the games already lost are some of the easiest left and points have to be obtained. 8+ is surely the target and even that will still leave the club cast adrift with horrible fixtures to come until the new year dawns.
10 Nov 2025 14:46:06
Personally, I've always shown support for any Wolves Manager like I did with GON until it was obvious, okay never completely enamoured with Lops personality. Rob Edwards is another in a long line of Shi inspired selections which I must admit has left me feeling a little underwhelmed if I'm honest. Probably because of Jeff's record of decision making and meaning no disrespect to Edwards.
If, however, he get's the team playing on the front foot with a more attacking style and 'going for it' I will feel more enthused. Only then will we see if this team/squad can do it and have just been poorly organised to date.
I know we have issues in defence and allowing too many balls into the box, etc, but maybe that can be addressed in January but this sideways, backwards passing without the ability to at least counter attack at speed is just says one thing to me.
So come on Rob show us why you wanted this job, but if it's another fest of the latter, I suspect I won't be the only one moaning.

Never known so much media coverage on Wolves.oh yes of course, we are in trouble and failing-should have realised. Unlike under Nuno when we were getting naff all
09 Nov 2025 07:56:54
Why would Rob Edwards leave 'Boro where he's doing ok with a board prepared to back him and who don't want him to go? Whereas at Wolves, he'll inherit a weak squad devoid of confidence and looking incapable of surviving in this league, but worst of all, owners who refuse to back the club and a Chairman who will sell off his best players every Summer then sack him before the following Xmas.
Sadly, I just can't see this turning out any differently but I'll leave the usual caviat that I hope that's not the case, but I just can't see it. Does anybody seriously think that if us fans are all positive about our prospects then magically we'll win games?
Shi and Fosun are culpable for our current situation no if's, no but's and frankly irrespective of whether Rob Edwards once played for us or lives in Wolverhampton he'll just be another victim of the clueless like the 5 that's gone before him. What was needed was a manager who's reputation alone would make the players and frankly the Club, buck up their ideas. Having said all that, I'm not sure if that would have ended well either, what a mess.

Unfortunately I think you are correct Long, not impressed at all by last nights performance. Think we need a new manager who is a magician to save us this season.
Thought we would have a go at Chelsea, JSL needs time out of the team and play Tolu, Hwang, don’t get me started on him, useless majority of the time and Bellegarde goes missing. May as well have played with 8, what happened to giving others a go, surely with confidence lost, you play others, mind you as we sold all other midfielders and didn’t replace them this is difficult.
Think of the players we have let go or sold, Neves, Neto, Cunha, RAN, Adama, all capable of producing some excitement, none of the current squad are. None of them can create a goal scoring opportunity with a great pass or dribble. Between Jeff and VP’s so called recruitment our team now has no creativity and unfortunately less confidence. Rob would be more sensible to stay where he is then move to this rubbish, terrible to say but true.
Just abysmal.

Got to agree longmynd.

No manager of repute would touch us with a barge pole LMW. Not with this lot in charge. Not sure what Shi has told Rob Edwards to lure him to this shambles, but as someone has already pointed out he has and will be supported at Boro. He won't be here. He'll just watch as we all do as remaining assets are sold J Gomes, Andre, Kreji and we're left with the dross who we can't move on. Those that are getting a fat pay cheque for strolling around the pitch contributing nothing.
Hwang, Bellegarde, JSL. I'm struggling to believe that these are actually PL footballers as they seem incapable of either trapping a ball, or controlling one. There's not a chance in hell we could've scored yesterday as neither of our so called strikers could get hold of the ball. It's just so frustrating that it's difficult to put into words just how poor this team and the senior management are. Good luck Rob Edwards you'll need it!

So Wolves continue down the slippery slope,
A rudderless ship with little hope,
Looking for a Manager but who'll take in on,
Will it be Edwards now it's not GON,
Fans groups wrote a letter do Fosun give a toss,
Expressing their misgivings to Shi and the big boss,
Will they even get a reply,
Our perilous state surely Jeff will deny,
We must put the football second to the money,
Only that will lead us to the land of milk and honey,
That's all very well Jeff but we don't have either,
A fact now obvious to the most ardent believer,
So on we struggle now 4 years in a row,
The Club now bereft of any seeds to sow,
All our best players sold off for a song,
But it's better for them it's where they belong,
Yeah Jeff pull the other one your having a laugh,
Years of mismanagement what's the next gaff,
There's plenty of scope in our current state,
The fans on the edge with lots to berate,
Still Jeff will carry on like a hapless loon,
Will he be moved on, not a day to soon,
Will Fosun even take any responsibility,
They can fund the club they have the ability,
So just like a ride on a runaway train,
We're out of control heading down the drain,
Our annual flirt with relegation now secured,
The fans hopes all well and truly skewered,
But the smell of Bullsh*t pervades every nostril,
Best go now before it get's hostile,
All we can hope for is a minor miracle,
Without that our demise is empirical,
To call them incompetent is no slur,
We're a shadow of the club we once were,
So send a message loud and clear to Guo,
Thanks for the memory's but it's time to go.

Absolutely brilliant long

Excellent Long

Can someone explain to me why we are encouraging people who have failed to come back to ruin us further. What do people think about solsjar and carrick, they have had success before, and I am sure they would play with a bit of style aggression and fight.
don't see too many people falling over themselves to take up tye poison challis. If not them, alladyce and keane
4.) 06 Nov 2025 15:30:46
Mainly Willow because Shi knows what he wants to spend and who has already been prepared to work for that.
Remember its the £'s before the points.
13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
31 Oct 2025 11:42:25
Does it matter who they get in if VP goes Rated. Who ever it is they will go the same way in 12 months time as the previous 6 after Shi/Fosun have decimated their squad next Summer.
Buy in a couple of has been's in January, a bit off new Manager bounce, hopefully survive, then repeat. Pathetic!
27 Oct 2025 10:14:43
I think that should be 'ruining of the Club' Rugeley.
27 Oct 2025 10:13:24
Would that be £400M that he hasn't got.
24 Nov 2025 17:01:23
Just a final word for now to say thanks for your kind comments Gents and yes NGSM you've sussed me out as I currently have a couple of bike related projects on the go.
Like you TFIOG I'm finding solace in Rugby again right now, especially the international game with England on the rise and the Red Roses totally dominant. I haven't watched MOTD at all this season with Fosun also sucking my interest in elite league football totally dry.
It's not about Premier League glory hunting but without ambition there is no basis for hope in any division.
23 Nov 2025 17:07:32
In fairness 3G some of us on here have been predicting this for 3-4 years now let alone the last window.
During which time we've watched our painful but inevitable decline thanks to Fosun's lack of financial assistance and the total lack of ability and judgement woven into the fabric of our senior 'management'.
So smelled it, drank it and have never been so disappointed to be proven right.
22 Nov 2025 18:15:45
Are any of us really surprised by today? I'm not if I'm honest. Hope only get's you to 3.00pm in a good place but the following 90 minutes just underlines and confirms the suspicions I've harboured and articulated over the last 5 years or so. Because Shi/Fosun are football illiterate it only needs someone, player or Manager to turn up and promise to not rock the boat and they're in.
Somebody needs to remind them that this isn't a social club or a golf club but a football club playing at an elite league level, but on the basis of that performance not for much longer. It will take a significant influx of decent players in January to perform not a minor but a major miracle. Unfortunately I think we all know that won't happen so I would suggest our fate is well and truly sealed. Fosun have no intention of stopping the rot, frankly the Summer window and the goings on since have proven that.
Now some will say it will take a while for RE to make his mark, fair enough, if that mark is worth making, personally, I'm not convinced and see this as an appointment along the lines I suggested earlier. Fosun have zero ambition for the Club and haven't for years so for me the sooner they've gone the better.
22 Nov 2025 13:01:05
I don't know if they lost interest Bully's, more likely realised the cost of maintaining a European campaign or even Premier League status as it turns out.
I think they, like many other Chinese owners rushed into this with their eyes wide shut to curry favour with their Government. Once that money dried up it became a death by a thousand cuts for the Club. They should have sold it back then.
As for this proposed development, ambitious but frankly hideous.
21 Nov 2025 22:26:40
Team selection more than player capability seems to have been our undoing on a number of occasions DMac so let's just hope RE sees what the fans see.
That certainly looks like our best team unless JSL has been inspired by his international performance.
