We are definitely going down.
1.) 20 Sep 2025 16:37:40
100% we are! Useless against really poor team
2.) 20 Sep 2025 17:04:41
Totally agree absolutely useless against a promoted side. I have no sympathy for Fuson they have bought it on them self's. You can't keep selling your best players and sign inferior ones year on year. Because if you do this is what happens now Fuson will be rubbishing them self's. Losing millions by getting relegated is not what they wanted but it's come back to bite them big style.

TAXI!

We played with 8 players today.
Everyone else tried their hardest to keep us in the game and competitive but unfortunately, Toti and Agbadou were awful and Bellegarde turned in Hwang for the day.
What I did notice is that the defence actually looked OK when Toti was on the left, Agbadou on the right and Mosquera in the centre. After 25 minutes, as we were winning, for some inexplicable reason, Mosquera and Agbadou swapped and from their, the defence collapsed.
Tchatchoua was itching to use his pace down the wing but no one gave him the ball. Lopez, despite the opening 20 minutes which were good, tailed off as did Rodrigo. Tolu never got any service.
It just isn't good enough.
I think we're doomed because Leeds were not very good but we insist on giving easy goals away and simply ain't good enough to break teams down.
Who is to blame? Well after the info this week, it has to be VP as this is now HIS squad with the players he himself chose.
A truly awful performance.
6.) 20 Sep 2025 20:38:16
VP did not impress or inspire me one bit wandering, and his half time pantomime didn't seem to do a lot for the players. No leader, no common cause. We're going down.
7.) 20 Sep 2025 20:52:40
A poor start certainly, not helped by late signings. However, I still feel that we have enough quality to stay up especially once the team fully gels. There are glimpses of what we can do when we are playing together, just not there yet. All this will be forgotten if we go on another mini good run
8.) 20 Sep 2025 23:28:39
Sa out and agbadou out.theyre garbage.simple as that
9.) 21 Sep 2025 03:11:40
Problem is though Wandering it's just not that simple buddy! Your blaming VP now in the exact same way you blamed GON this time last year and sooner or later you SHOULD be asking the question 'is it the monkey or the organ grinders fault'!
After the game today VP has openly admitted that he doesn't know his best team, which is both not his fault but also ridiculous! He's been given (in terms of starting players) virtually half a team of Prem rookies then been told to go out and make it work (2/4 weeks into the season)!
When we talked/debated last year I pointed out to you that not replacing our most used defender in the team and club capain (Kilman) with a Prem ready replacement was suicide, and you told me it'll be fine. Then as we now know it wasn't fine and we wriggled our way out of it in Jan and 'got away with it'. But here we are again and we've done the EXACT same thing with both Cunha and RAN! Whilst I'm sure Wolfe and Arias have quality they are CLEARLY not Prem ready players. Arias hardly featuring and Wolfe being dropped from the entire team is a frankly damning indictment of thier ability to fill those roles!
I'm no saying VP gets a pass, cause your right it is now 'his' team. But I am saying that as a club we KEEP making the same mistakes over and over again and at some point you HAVE to ask is the manager constantly being set up to fail?! And this isn't a conspiracy theory BTW I don't think it's intentional! But I do think that we've just been run into the ground by an ownership group (Fosun) who care SO little by the comparitve tiny fraction that we represent on their general portfolio that they just don't really care as long as we aren't asking for money/being a problem! So much so that they've left the average work experience lad (Jeff) to take the flak and hold the fort despite him openly admitting that he'd rather play Fifa as Wolves than have to run a footy club! And (bizarrely) none of that's aimed at Jeff, he's just holding the fort and wishing he was back home designing a game rather than worrying about why the fans are shouting at him!
Somethings got to change buddy, cause we can't keep going round in circles as we make our way down the drain! I'm not even saying Fosun out (it's not that simple it can takes years to sell a club). I just want someone (Jeff) to give enough of a sh1t about this club to actually start running it like a Prem club again!
For example, they clearly knew Cunha was leaving when he signed his contract. So why then didn't they go out and sign Arias/Tolu in Jan?! It would have probs cost a little more, but they would have at least been able to get him up to speed to prepare for Cunhas exit. Then he would have been ready when needed and maybe could of made a difference?!
Like I say buddy the same mistake over and over! Something HAS to change! ???
10.) 21 Sep 2025 07:07:53
Well articulated Bully.
Freud called making the same mistake again and again, "the repetition compulsion"
When we feel driven to repeat mistakes from the past in the hopes that this time the situation will work out differently, but it rarely does. To break free, you must identify the pattern.
Fosun take notice!
11.) 21 Sep 2025 11:45:12
Bullysboy, I know ultimately Fosun are to blame but over the last week or 2 both Fosun and VP have backed each other's claims that the incoming players were the ones VP wanted.
The performance yesterday would have been as a result of the tactics that VP wanted to play. If the players ain't good enough (which they ain't) then surely VP must shoulder some of the blame as he himself identified them and asked the club to sign them.
But to be fair, the 2 biggest disappointments from yesterday were Toti and Bellegarde who VP didn't sign. Agbadou was awful once he switched with Mosquera.
12.) 21 Sep 2025 12:28:41
We don’t have one quality player.
Mediocre at best, relegation looms, needs total reset.
On a plus point, my bet keeps winning ( wolves to lose )
13.) 21 Sep 2025 13:06:46
We are down without doubt. No Cunha to salvage points. Players look lost and without fight already. All we can hope for is new ownership come next summer before The Championship.
01 Sep 2025 18:05:45
Rumour I heard a few minutes (most likely BS) is that VP has demanded showdown talks with Shi regarding the failure to sign the required players.
It seems Teti is going to be leaving very soon as his tenure has been a disaster and VP could be following him out of the door very soon.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 18:23:59
Wouldn't be surprised but also can't see VP walking. He's been waiting for a chance in the Premier league for so long, and would he ever get this chance again?
2.) 01 Sep 2025 18:28:05
i would walk if I was him, everyone knows he loves the club . he doesn’t deserve to be miss managed by these negligent skinflints
3.) 01 Sep 2025 18:31:27
We'll soon see how happy VP is wrt this window. Will he sign a new contract?
4.) 01 Sep 2025 18:52:08
Does he 'love' the club though? He's been here 5 minutes in the grand scheme of things. Reality is he came in and did a great job when we were at rock bottom. He rode the wave and took trips to the pub and we loved him for it. Since then he's lost some of his best and most influential players and has seen them replaced with bog-standard footballers (in comparison). The positive feeling he had managed to muster has eroded in the space of a summer. I wouldn't be suprised if he walked whilst his reputation in intact. The club have let another manager down who probably could have done well for us if backed. If I was a neutral manager with no ties to Wolves I would absolutely look elsewhere for work, even if it meant moving down the pyramid into The Championship.
5.) 01 Sep 2025 19:08:02
Wandering mate it wouldn't surprise me if VP walked and who could blame him?
6.) 01 Sep 2025 19:52:46
I would not be surprised, and nor would I blame VP for walking. Fosun have let their reputation slide with their lack of support for managers and promises unfulfilled. With a stated lack of ambition it is difficult to convince players to come. I can't imagine any decent manager coming if VP goes.
7.) 01 Sep 2025 19:53:09
I can believe that he's unhappy but also surely he HAS to also be accountable?! Teti was VPs hire after working with him previously! Seems bizarre for VP to complain that the man he's hand picked (at great expense) has not done the job that VP chose him for?! I think the most frustrating part of all this is that it has played out exactly in the way many on here have been predicting from the day we finished last season! ?
8.) 01 Sep 2025 20:19:06
What's with all the VP will walk rubbish, he signed 5 players over the window, he moved on a few that he clearly didn't want, he may have wanted to move 1 or 2 more on, but unfortunately nobody came in for them, If Fosun had shafted him Larsen would now be playing elsewhere.
I can understand a little bit of the frustration, but some of the stuff posted online is unreal because we didn't sign more players, we have a decent squad to compete as a mid table team, and that will come, time for patience, why all of a sudden have we become a club who want instant gratification with new players all the time.
VP has picked up 8 payers since the January window, all costing a few million, he has been backed fair bit, so to say he hasn't is pure tripe, time for VP to earn his money, first by dropping one or 2 of his favourites who clearly have offered nothing yet this season. If he does walk he is clearly just as pathetic as Lop was.
For me its time to let things settled own and the new players find their feet, and let VP get on with being a manager
9.) 01 Sep 2025 20:29:15
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Teti, VP’s man. Difficult not to agree that we have missed some opportunities this window, especially within the last fortnight, when ‘done deals’ unravelled in front of our eyes.The annoying part is that we failed on numerous occasions to convince the player to join, when agreements had been sorted between clubs. What role did VP play in selling a project to the players.
When you hear from other clubs signings, they invariably say they were convinced by the coach/manager. Interactions I have seen of our recent signings on club videos, barely feature VP. A phone call from a manager shows a player he is wanted. Only those on the inside know whether or not VP adopts that hands on approach.
When you look at some of the missed opportunities from deadline day, that were within our price range, that comparable size clubs have got over the line, you cannot do other than label the window a MASSIVE MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
Harry Wilson, Christantus Uche, Matt O’Reilly, Manor Solomon, Tarim Lamptey, Youssef Chermiti El Khannous Brian Brobbey Tyrique George,
10.) 01 Sep 2025 20:33:46
Where ever, according to Johnny Phillips, the penny dropped for Fosun goodness knows where it landed ant what in because the Summer has been an absolute shambles. Hobbs knew what he was doing when looked at what was happening and left and kept walking. I have no doubt that VP in have Teti brought in to supposedly handle recruitment is all well and good but it doesn't get the cheque book away from Jeff and that in a nutshell is the problem as we've seen before. He knows best but sadly he knows bugger all about football and has consistently made a complete mess of things. After over 60 years supporting our great club I just despair at what that buffoon has done to it.
11.) 01 Sep 2025 20:54:36
Can someone answer me this, for all the players mentioned on who we have missed out on, how many of them would have come to Wolves?
Did Wolves look at them? VP stressed he only want players who want to come! so isn't it fair to say that we agreed condition with one or 2, only for them to go elsewhere, so do they sound like players that wanted to come? the answer is no, they went to the highest bidder . watch the new lads video, he wanted to be here as soon as heard we were interested, and low and behold the transfer happened fairly quickly. obviously lots of stuff goes on behind the scenes, but there is no point panic buying like we have done in the past, as history has proved majority of our panic buys either didn't want to come or failed, which wasted lots of money, Fabio being the biggest one
12.) 01 Sep 2025 21:19:21
Has he been backed though Sydney?! Would you naturally expect a club that finished 16th in the league to finish the window £13m+ up? And that doesn't even account for the fact Sarabia and (club captain) Semedo both went for free!
The one thing I just can't get my head round was letting Doyle and Traore both go without a replacement in place, just seems foolish to me!
13.) 01 Sep 2025 21:59:21
If Andre or Gomes pick up an injury or suspension, the only options we have are Munetsi or Krejci.
We have options in defence with Mosquera, Agbadou, Krejci, Doc, S Bueno and (Toti)
Wing backs in Hoever, Tchatchouma, Rodrigo, Wolfe and Bueno.
Attacking players in Arias, Lopez and Bellegarde.
Up front: JSL and Tolu
We wait and see if this squad can produce the goods.
14.) 01 Sep 2025 22:28:12
Sydney surely by definition the answer is none?
But as I always ask "why"?
Why do you think they wouldn't come to the club?
15.) 01 Sep 2025 22:34:35
Sydneywolf nice to hear some common sense and positivity on here. It's an echo chamber of doom and gloom
16.) 01 Sep 2025 22:53:22
I'm disappointed the TFIOG.
Not so much with the "why" but the more we have wasted 4 months not signing players?
I do think its poor offering small wages and small transfer values to attract certain players;
Pubill
Veiga
Disasi
Hackney
Yuri Alberto
What could have been?
Jeff any answers appreciated.Actually don't both we are all customers.
17.) 02 Sep 2025 07:16:31
Sydneywolf - appreciate your optimism, but there is no way that this squad is capable of finishing mid table. The quality is not there and the situation is not being helped by out of form players. Who do you see creating our chances? We haven't got a single player who looks to break the lines in the final third.
18.) 02 Sep 2025 08:40:18
Future I agree, what is the reason that players don't come? but I would say the ones that did are here, the rest of the nearly
group obviously either wanted more money or Wolves didn't think their price represented a good deal, that would be my thoughts on it.
Bully I think he was backed, yes may letting a couple of midfielders go was not the right move until they had cover, I think Lopez, Cruij are possibly back up to the midfield, is it good enough only time will tell, VP has been backed in my opinion, we just never got one or 2 players over the line, for a multitude of different reasons.
The angst and doom by the fans needs to be put to bed, and fans need to get behind the team an move forward. Its easy to point fingers, but unless we sit at the top table we will never know why or who we actually wanted, we just see and hear the gossip to rise the fear amongst the fans. Lat year we were all but gone come December, look how our season turned around, and the purple patch we had no Cuhna, one or 2 results will breath some confidence into the team, and we will make some headway, the new player bought in will settle and show their worth, we have bought in many players that nobody knew or had the experience everyone seems to bang on about, but they did just fine
19.) 02 Sep 2025 09:05:39
apologies for the typos, I didn't have my glasses when posting
29 Aug 2025 14:13:32
Fabio Silva transfer almost complete. Circumstances meant that he was thrust into action at Wolves way before he was ready.
I hoped he would make it here but the fans were unforgiving. I think he'll be a massive success at Dortmund and those very fans who were calling for him to leave will very suddenly ask questions about why the club allowed him to go.
1.) 29 Aug 2025 15:21:32
Wandering the injury to Jiminez put Silva in a position he should never have been in not his fault. That was the problem of only having 1 striker he going to a club that are renowned for bringing players on good luck to him.
2.) 29 Aug 2025 15:22:45
Why it is/ was best league in the world wandering star, so much pressure these days to hit the ground running especially with the price tag, but he was just too young when rauls injury happened and had to be thrust in with little experience and big expectations. I always felt bad for him because he’s always had so much pressure but hasn’t delivered, however I do think selling him is the correct decision as there are better players for 20 million.
3.) 29 Aug 2025 15:29:30
Agreed. Fabio is a fantastic player, just too early for a prem move for him, will surely succeed in an attack-minded bundesliga. I think a sell-on clause should be inserted given Dortmund's reputation.
4.) 29 Aug 2025 15:53:53
Yeah some won't like what i'm going to say here but the Fabio situation was on Nuno wanting a small squad.
5.) 29 Aug 2025 18:53:55
I remember him jumping to head the ball and being on the way down before it got near him.
That is not acceptable.
6.) 29 Aug 2025 21:18:54
I actually do think he'll be a success at Dortmund (they know their young players) and will likely go on to have a good career. However, I'm just not convinced he would have ever cut it in the Prem. Like Diego Forlan who did well in most leagues but just wasn't up to the pace/power of the Prem, think it'll be the same with Fabio to be honest. What I will give the club credit for is the money they recouped, never thought we'd get that much back on him ?
28 Aug 2025 20:43:13

3.) 29 Aug 2025 00:09:26
Excellent news!
27 Aug 2025 10:36:13
Wolves have offered to increase JSL wages from £15k per week to £80k per week, however Newcastle are set to offer him £150k per week.
Looks like money talks.
1.) 27 Aug 2025 11:51:38
Sorry Wandering buddy but money talks is not an acceptable excuse if we let him go! The inks not even dry on the contract he's signed so the club should have just given a flat 'not this window' from the off! He's literally just signed a four year deal so he wouldn't have kicked up a fuss if we simply hadn't entertained it from the off! Will be interesting to see how this plays out but as I've said before, I worry about what it says to others regarding our team if we can't even keep our best players for just one transfer window now?! ?
2.) 27 Aug 2025 12:23:32
I think that is the clubs stance Bullysboy but it seems Larsen now knows more money is on offer elsewhere so his head has been turned. I mean if someone offered me 10 times my current wage, I'd be off. Not an ideal situation but sadly, this is the way of the world not.
Look at Uche. He'd agreed a salary with the club but Palace are offering more so he's changed his mind.
3.) 27 Aug 2025 12:30:59
Agreed BullysBoy II, the clubs stance should have been 'absolutely categorically NO! Maybe a necessary evil but we've already lost 2 superstars, we're going to build a team around the superstars that are left, Gomes, Andre, JSL'
4.) 27 Aug 2025 12:39:05
It's different scenarios though, Uche has the luxury of choice and is exercising it (I suspect London helps). The luxury of choice with JSL was firmly within our gift and it's not one that we should be giving away lightly! No one can offer him any contract unless we agree a fee, the club should have just said 'not for sale this window'from the off and stuck to that. We've intentionally left the door open from the off so no point blaming the player for that now, his heads been turned because we've wanted it to be turned!
5.) 27 Aug 2025 13:03:13
We would appear by our stance on Newcastle's bids for JSL to be encouraging them to come back with larger bids. That is not the way to keep a player not does it indicate to the player that he is going nowhere! Clearly our senior management have no idea how to handle this situation other than to say we want the money even though it's the most absurd time to even consider selling your only productive striker!
I quite simply give up I'm sick of these idiots running our football club. Sooner they are gone the better though no doubt we will suffer either way.
6.) 27 Aug 2025 13:21:10
It's starting to become pretty clear to me that Fosun are running what can only be described as some sort of takent introduction agency to the Premier League. Seemingly every player with potential who signs for us and performs is likely to move on quickly now. Frustrating and disappointing.
7.) 27 Aug 2025 13:35:25
V worrying thread.
It seems that it is perfectly acceptable to both sell players and fail to sign players?
Won't that leave the team a bit short?
The argument that the team simply can't compete financially in the transfer market surely begs the question why?
How many teams in the Prem do people think Wolves can compete with?
Is it more than 3?
I saw a thread the other day when it was stated that the team was the one that the manger (s) wanted and had nothing to do with Jeff or by implication finances (it was actually stated that none of the players who leave do so for financial reasons!)
Well I strongly suspect that Vitor, (and all the managers since Nuno), would have loved to have RAN, Neves, Neto, Cunha etc etc in their sides.
Also although some of the players may well have been very happy to leave and indeed of late players might well be agitating to leave what is now obviously no longer a club with aspirations to compete in the upper middle echelons of the Prem all of the players that have been sold have been sold for one reason only, to cover the operating losses the club makes in order to comply with regulations.
8.) 27 Aug 2025 13:53:34
Is that right? Surely even our badly run club are paying JSL more than £15k a week?

27 Oct 2025 15:23:29
Stuck in a predicament at the moment.
I want to show my full support for the club and fans.
Don't want to give any more money to Fosun just for them to continually ignore us fans and keep VP in place.
So do I buy tickets for the Palace game in the hope that VP gets sacked before hand and a sale of the club agreed or not?
1.) 27 Oct 2025 15:58:31
Supporting any club is a bit of a drug but if you don't go I don't think you will be on your own Wandering. I always went irrespective of how bad performances were but it's the unfulfilled hope that get's to you.
I think I'm in rehab now but there's no right or wrong answer to your question I'm afraid.
2.) 27 Oct 2025 17:35:03
I don't go as often as I'd like, but I've got a ticket for the cup game against Chelsea on Wednesday. We're all the same. It doesn't matter how bad it gets, or how much we moan we still support the club.
3.) 27 Oct 2025 17:48:54
Let’s face it, VP isn’t going anywhere short term. Fosun will not sell, especially not to a US Jack the lad wheeler dealer.
If you don’t buy the ticket, someone else will do Fosun will still get the money.
It could be their first win and you’ll miss it!
Show your support and be proud that win, lose or draw you’re a true Wolves fan.

Spot on BoSWolf.
True fans buy tickets and go support
5.) 28 Oct 2025 11:06:01
Not all 'true' fans can afford to go to the games, that doesn't mean they are not 'true' fans. Supporting is also about the right to analyse and say how it is.
26 Oct 2025 22:13:40
Now that Fosun have confirmed that VP won't be sacked, I'm pre empting the next week.
Monday - Teti and VP summons to a meeting by Shi where he thanks them for their efforts and offers them a new and improved contract.
Tuesday - Light training for the team in preparation for the Chelsea game.
Wednesday - Narrow 1-0 win in extra time thanks to a goal deflected of Hwangs backside. Tolu gets a start too to thank him for his patience.
Thursday - Cool down session
Friday - Light training
Saturday - 4-0 defeat against Fulham but VP cones out and says that the squad are behind him and that the fans should be grateful that the squad try to compete. Hwang starts, does nothing and Tolu get 45 seconds to impress.
Saturday evening - Jeff Shi reiterates his support for VP.
1.) 26 Oct 2025 23:58:19
I don't think I've ever felt so disappointed and disillusioned in my 60 years as a Wolves fan than I am right now. Yes, we've been in far worse positions but that was against a totally different backdrop of circumstances with owners that couldn't afford to fund a reasonable level of success, but Fosun can, that's what really grates.
Why have they allowed it to go this far? Why would they risk losing hundreds of millions? Why is Jeff Shi still in his job? Let's not forget it was only a few months ago he was telling anyone stupid enough to listen that he had been remiss in recent years but had now rekindled his control of transfers and footballing matters. I'm guessing the decision to repeat the exact same mistake they made with GON was his as well.
Where's the urgency to correct these errors? VP will not turn this around as he is also repeating the same mistakes week after week, that's blindingly obvious. If this Club is to stand any chance of survival at this level we need serious change throughout and fast, although I suspect it really is too late as the damage is looking terminal. Can't Fosun see what's happening or don't they care? Were we all just taken in by their claim to seek success or was that all bs. Was the plan always just to get promoted then tread water, thereafter?
I can't see hope coming from anywhere at this club, VP's lost it and if he goes Teti won't be far behind that just leaves Jeff Shi really and he's of no use. What a mess.
2.) 27 Oct 2025 06:45:15
Long, most of us come on the forum because we love our Club.
The way things are being managed is soul-destroying.
.and the worst bit, I don't see any hope of change.
3.) 27 Oct 2025 07:10:27
Oh wandering that is so true, it made me laugh but it is so true.
Then again, a little bit of my heart hopes that it's the proverbial backing of the board and that after we've been humiliated at home by Chelsea youngsters VP will be gone.
Of course Shi dosnt see things as others do, his comments can never be trusted, Fosuns promises have proven to be lies, so perhaps VP is in league with him.
We in the s**t deep, there's no easy way out apart from it being shovelled clear and that's not an overnight job.
We need a new management/coach approach, free up the players so they can use their given skills and enjoy the game. VP has got the strangest game plan for us at the moment, and seemingly playing his favourites who produce very little, and seemingly upsetting players in stifling their abilities.
Fosun are taking the fans for fools and extracting any cash they can, from the seasons shirts, to the dog beds on sale whilst not prepared to invest in the ground let alone players.
My personal gripe is hearing bl**dy Mary Hopkins 'those were the days' before KO, it sums it all up really, we've long gone past the heady days of fosuns arrival, of hope and exciting players astounding us and crashing the big 6 party.
Hi Ho, every cloud as a silver lining, maybe we'll see one again after we've been in the championship and the present clowns have gone.

Yes. It's a complete and utter shambles and VP will not be able to turn this around. I've said this before but to repeat in any other business that has tailed off so badly the CEO would have been sacked. I just can't understand the recruitment policy. We immediately sign Fer Lopez, then don't play him. Jackson at RB but the play However who crosses into the box are dreadful. Andre has obviously fallen out with VP. Tolu not given any real opportunity to show us what he can do. Arias much too lightweight. It's just so frustrating to try and put into words that really apart from J Gomes we are a mid table championship side.

As I understand things, Longmynd, Fosun's initial claims of seeking success were genuine and, as history tells us, their initial years of ownership saw us move on an upwards trajectory with upper Premier league finishes, an FA cup semi and Europa league quarter final. However, the Chinese government then tightened capital outflow controls and discouraged " extravagant " overseas investments leading to a severe tightening of the Fosun pursestrings and the introduction of Jeff's self sustainability requirements on orders from above. There are a myriad of reasons for our current predicament but the root cause of many probably lies somewhere in Beijing!

Too close to the truth Wandering.

I've often made that point Old Wulf I know that is certainly a contributory factor. But if they are subject to these restrictions why not just sell the club if they can't fund it?
8.) 27 Oct 2025 10:48:22
Maybe because of the kudos attached to being the owner of a Premier league club? Spending in January has extracted us from the mire over the last two seasons but its very long odds against it happening this season.

They'll let us go down strip us of assets from transfer fees, larsen gomez Andre h bueno Sa etc sell us on and we'll be f***?*d. We can only hope for massive investment from whoever takes us on, that's why they'll refuse the offer already made.
26 Oct 2025 16:13:56
Surely he cannot survive this.
26 Oct 2025 14:34:46
Following on the Internet.
Sack him. Sack him immediately after the match. Disgraceful. Match over after 20 minutes, at home, to BURNLEY.

Craziest equaliser wandering but that spirit took us there bellegarde seemingly dancing around in circles, gets a ball in kreicji gets a foot to it, flicks up and munetsi nods in.
Crazy crazy half and 2-2 slightly flattering us, game on second half who knows how we'll perform in second.
2.) 26 Oct 2025 14:54:13
Not quite Wandering. A brilliantly worked second goal, but before that utter crappage.
3.) 26 Oct 2025 15:04:09
There's hope yet wandering, see my posts to you below. We need the bite we had at the end of 1st when we come back out. Get j gomez out there and jackson for hoever and we might be able to win it yet but VP isn't the man to keep us up with this style.
4.) 26 Oct 2025 15:05:21
Wandering game never over till final whistle i'll give Burnley there du have been the better team. Now Wolves need to do what they normally do player better in the second half and get the three points.
5.) 26 Oct 2025 15:16:09
Maybe me not being able to watch or hear the match is a lucky charm
6.) 26 Oct 2025 15:27:50
First name on the teamsheet should be J. Gomez, crazy team selection.
7.) 26 Oct 2025 15:30:11
After long spell of Burnley possession were get free kickand arias hits upright! Hoever totally useless, subs now arias off for @! Hwang!. Andre off for j gomez. Ludicrous.

Ex pat here from nz, feel now is the time for a first post
I’m quite lucky here number one I don’t have to pay to see that crap and two I get to see every prem game live,
I’ve a slightly different take on our toxic club, I think fosun are extracting self belief confidence and self esteem and shipping it back to China, sorry to make light of it but the alternative is sitting in the corner in the faetal position rocking

I'd much rather have Textor with his proven ability to bring success than Fosun. Ask yourself this question. Would you rather be in Wolves' position or Palaces?
26 Oct 2025 21:31:34
BBC now saying that VP is not in immediate danger of getting sacked and Fosun believe that his experience will lead us to safely.
It is safe to say that we are F*cked
26 Oct 2025 16:47:50
I hope your right Rated. The longer this clown stayed at the club, the longer our odds of staying up looked.
I know Fosun have a massive part in this sh*t show, but ultimately, VP was adamant that the players that signed in the summer were hand picked by him, not the scouting team. Him. The fact that we have been so poor during games is 100% on him. Look at Keith Andrews at Brentford. No managerial experience prior to this summer but sets his team up to play good, attacking front foot football with the ethos of 'If we're attacking them, then they can't attack us'.
We loved VP for what he did last season but it's clear that tactically, he's inept.
22 Oct 2025 12:23:56
Please give it a rest, or at least do some research. Please enlighten us about this 'good footballer' claim as he played the vast majority of his 152 game career in the 2nd and 3rd divisions of the Portugese League.
16 Oct 2025 16:35:57
The only people who could help you are: Someone at the club, Jose Sa, Jose Sa's family or Jose Sa's agent.

Ed, my account has 2 accounts. My dad is Jas M and I am Wandering Star. I type everything on behalf of my dad as he's not in the best of health hence why he no longer posts as much. But Jaz M is nothing to do with either of us.
{Ed033's Note - Ok thanks.

Our fixtures between now and January don't look like yielding many points.
We have Palace, Forest, Man U and Brentford at home. Fulham, Chelsea, Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd away.
From that list, I only see us taking a point at home against Forest.
Then we have West Ham at home in January.
Unless we change manager, we are guaranteed to be relegated.
27 Oct 2025 09:51:11
We're f*cked now. By 5pm on Saturday, we'll be even more f*cked unless this clown is sacked. The saying 'All the gear, no idea' springs to mind.
26 Oct 2025 20:44:48
But did he need to bring Hwang on or did he choose to bring him on. Fer Lopez was say on the bench ready and available. So was Arokodare.
26 Oct 2025 20:42:36
Guo needs to take affirmative action immediately if he does not intend to sell the club.
Sack Jeff Shi, Vitor and his band of merry men. Put a footballing person in place such a Monchi, Purslow etc and then get in a manager who actually knows what he's doing.
