When Wolves are relegated they have to sign Ryan Giles. Obviously that requires Hull not being promoted to the PL. He’s ex Wolves, he played for Rob Edwards at Luton, and his crossing ability has always been top draw. Wolves won’t be keeping both Moller Wolfe and Hugo Bueno.

Again good shout, cause he would also help with our distinct lack of homegrown players. Reckon it'll be Bueno that goes but I hope not, cause he's better than Wolfe but also homegrown. ?

Thanks, BB II. Giles has only just turned 26, so he’s got plenty left in the tank. He’s quite good defensively, but he’s excellent going forward. Wolves need players who are proven performers in the Championship.

If he could replicate his form at Boro the year before he went to Luton he would be a fantastic signing as, (as you say), he was a top player in the division that year.
Haven't followed his career since but see he is playing at Hull in the Champ now.
Question marks - like Adam Armstrong - re his ability to step up given his disappointing time at Luton in the Prem but as a short term option a good shout.
Re Wolfe/Bueno not sure who goes and who stays but doubt Wolves will add a 3rd LWB and certainly it won't be a top priority unless as you say he is back to Boro form and cheap/free.
Homegrown is important but Bueno is that anyway and is one of the few that I think is both likely to stay and be good enough for the Champ.
Giles is def however the right pool to be fishing in!

Forest about to bring in their fourth head coach of the season - and it’s going to be Vitor Pereira! How do you begin to describe the hideous mess that is the Premier League? The corruption, the bias, VAR, appalling refereeing, lunatic owners, constant manager changes, overpaid overrated players, the gradual Americanisation of the game, etc, etc. It’s utterly hideous. Sadly it is what it is and most teams want to be a part of it. The money, better players, easily accessible games, and the faint hope of European football.
As for Wolves, unless big changes are made, from top to bottom, and those changes are intelligent, Wolves won’t be seeing the Premier League for a very long time.

Couldn't agree more NaN.

Arguably the strongest possible lineup for Wolves, so let’s see how they do.
1.) 11 Feb 2026 20:20:29
Arguably the worst 45 mins of football this season!

Does anyone have any decent links for football feeds? Showing Championship football. I want to watch Blues vs Boggies.
{Ed001's Note - we can't give out those on here or we will get taken down. We are on our final warning across the sites as posters put those up and then, after we asked them not to do so, they started putting them on live chats. We nearly got removed due to it, so have to be really careful.}

Apologies.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate you didn't know.}
2.) 11 Feb 2026 08:41:40
Ed, I occasionally put up links including tonights game. Nobody told me not to do it! Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
{Ed033's Note - No links, please.

On a lighter note, what’s happening with the Steve Bull stand refurbishment? Jeffrey Shi was about to get it all signed off in December 2025.
The stadium would have had a full rebuild, with the ability to stage rock concerts and the 2024 Champions League final, but Wolverhampton Council were refusing to assist Jeff with his vision.
Seriously though, is the Steve Bull getting a rebuild? It’s nice that the city of Wolverhampton has a football stand mentioned in the Domesday Book, but it desperately needs a complete rebuild.
1.) 09 Feb 2026 06:31:41
Probably more of Jeff Shi bulls**t
2.) 09 Feb 2026 09:39:31
My understanding was anything that happened would be an internal refit. It really needs bulldozing and completely rebuilding. The proposition was a half a job as a gesture to show something would happen, but it wouldn't actually achieve what we all know is needed.
3.) 09 Feb 2026 10:10:49
Good grief, the Steve Bull getting an internal refit. Is that the best idea when the stand is older than Methuselah and one corner of the North bank basically encroaches on it?
Refurbishing the Steve Bull is like diving down to the Titanic with a duster, tin of Pledge and some Sellotape.
4.) 09 Feb 2026 11:12:01
The Steve Bull Stand needs bulldozing. While we're at it, we need a bulldozing centre forward like, err, Steve Bull. Would wreak havoc in the Championship. Sometimes a cloud can have a silver lining. We should take the the opportunity next season to rebuild the stadium as well as the squad. Let the JCBs roll.

Being in the Championship would give Fosun the perfect opportunity to sort out the Molineux. A refurbished/rebuilt Molineux would bring great joy to Wolves fans, and it would be of great benefit to the City of Wolverhampton. Alas, greedy corporations have no interest in people, and Fosun has no interest in Wolverhampton.
6.) 09 Feb 2026 14:16:07
The only way it would happen next season is if Fosun fund it rather than the club which unfortunately I can't see them doing.
It would be the right time though to bulldoze the Steve Bull and dismantle the embarrassment that's the Graham Hughes stand and redo the Steve Bull to join up with the North bank.
I'd imagine that planning permission etc is still an issue, but it would be good to see at least some concrete evidence of progress with the ground.

They would probably rename it ‘The Golden Temple’ and rebuild it in the shape of an actual temple. There will be an official ‘takeaway’ exit door for all good players of any worth! ?

Mane has got Man Utd written all over him. He’s a Rochdale lad, and I imagine that Utd is his dream. As I said in another post, his move will make Wolves a lot of money because clubs will not want rivals to have him.
On a different note, Wolves are apparently sniffing around Abdul Fatawu. He would be a phenomenal signing, but I think it’s clickbait bullshine. He’d cost at least £20 million and too many other bigger clubs will be sniffing around him.

100% Santi Bueno was Man of the Match. Becoming such a key player for Wolves. Always liked him - always saw him as a midfielder more than a centre back. Edwards deserves credit for switching him to the middle of three centre backs.
Imagine Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci as the main back three in the Championship!
Adam Armstrong had his best game in a Wolves shirt.
Feel sorry for the guy being cheered off, but Tchatchoua was ruddy awful.
18 Feb 2026 12:39:52
I do like Jose Sa - JoeJay Jar, as I call him (not sure why). Yes, his distribution is mostly terrible, and he’s a bit nuts, but he’s got a lot of heart and plenty of bottle.
15 Feb 2026 15:40:12
That was an excellent performance by Wolves, under diabolical conditions. I kept looking for a part of the pitch where the Grimsby owner grows his spring onions and spuds.
Santiago Bueno was excellent. It was obvious a long time ago that he was perfectly suited for a sweeper role. Credit to Edwards for immediately switching him to that position.

Wolves are in a very advantageous position regarding Mateus Mané. Reports suggest that Liverpool are already making moves to sign him. The beauty is, Mané is young and very talented and top clubs will desperate to make sure that rivals don’t get him. Manchester City has in the past signed players purely to stop rivals getting them.
Not sure what sell on percentage Rochdale hold on Mané, but it’s likely that Wolves will make about £40 million on him. With this seasons successful January window, end of season expected sales, and the first parachute payment, Wolves will be extremely flush going into the 26/27 season. If Fosun doesn’t invest heavily in a side that can get promoted from the Championship at the first time of asking, their lies will be exposed and there will be no way back for them.

Thank you, BullysBoy II and thefutureisoldgold3. I appreciate your kind comments.
I have in the past tried to be positive about Fosun and where Wolves is headed as a club. Sadly I now feel that there is very little to be positive about. Fosun is just not very good at running a football club. They spout nonsense about sustainability and how Wolves must operate within their means, when in truth what they actually mean is Fosun will no longer put their money into the club and they will saddle the club with massive debts.
My biggest fear now - a fear shared by many Wolves fans - is if Fosun don’t wake up very quickly, Wolves will end up in the same **** state as Leicester.
