Maybe I was over hopeful, but given the lead time on Cunha and likelihood of the departure of Ait Nouri, I would have expected the position on incomers to replace them to be well advanced, but no news yet. Could the changes re Hobbs have come about for reasons of disagreement at that level, or above? I really am banking on a sensible window to preserve and build on what we have. Anything less will be like nails in the proverbial. I really hope we can avoid a last minute scramble and panic purchases.

Think we should spare a thought for Liverpool fans after the horrendous news.
1.) 27 May 2025 16:20:30
Agree totally Wimborne mate.
2.) 27 May 2025 20:33:31
Naturally offer my sincere thoughts towards Liverpool fans, and Liverpool folk alike Wimborne, seems nobody is safe in this country anymore. Why/how do these idiots think they're going to achieve anything by doing this?
3.) 27 May 2025 20:34:02
Looked horrendous. I know a few people who went who were stranded in Liverpool overnight.

After the good run, a fizzled out end to the season. Still, better than it might have been, thanks to VP. Crunch time now with the transfer window, could be a roller coaster.
1.) 25 May 2025 19:42:46
Yes. VP will have learnt a lot from these last 4 games. TBH those who we think might go apart from Cuhna aren't good enough. Guedes missing a golden opportunity again. Anyway we're still a PL club and with a decent transfer window I'm optimistic that we'll be a better team next season.
2.) 25 May 2025 21:57:31
So we've reached the end of yet another chaotic season with only the avoidance of relegation to celebrate. Finishing the season with 3 losses and a draw, so pretty underwhelming after such an encouraging run of wins leaving us in 16th place. Not unsurprising given what's gone on but what's next, owners loosening the screws a bit, finally deciding that they can't afford to do this and selling or just more of the same?
I'm not sure if it's through luck or judgement but we now have a Head Coach who is not only happy to be here, but also seems content to navigate the current transfer policies inflicted on the club, for now at least, all that whilst attempting to help improve the squad and it's performances. He strikes me as a realist and won't expect stupid amounts of money to be made available.
I get it that Fosun have been going through a restructure and probably got fed up of watching their hard earned disappear faster than a Villa fan leaving the ground after a Wolves game but have they really reconciled themselves to being owners of a bottom half club or will things slowly change as this Coach proves his worth and Fosun's Group restructuring improves theirs?
Pereira will build something, slowly but surely, and seems to not only be a very capable football Coach but one who can cope with the hand he's dealt, unlike some of his predecessors. We should be grateful for that at least and I for one am looking forward to seeing what next years squad will look like and what he can achieve with a full pre-season to get them fully primed and organised.
So will the likes of RAN, the Gomes's, Andre and the like, all be sold on at some point in the future or will VP be allowed to build and retain a strong squad? We all know it's the club that buys the players not the owners but income development and some financial injections are allowed within PSR which may just be the difference. If that's not forthcoming then more of the clubs decisions that appear to defy logic, are inevitable.
So for me, happy that we finally have a seemingly capable Head Coach and feel more positive that he will do better than his recent predecessors but annoyed with Fosun for keeping sleeping beauty, asleep. Will they give us an awakening kiss and revisit old ambitions, or not? They need to think this through very carefully now, as already others are eyeing VP with envious eyes ready to offer juicy contracts, I'm sure.

I share your nervousness Long.
4.) 26 May 2025 11:18:06
I said this when we secured PL status. He's worked himself into a great position and well done VP. If this is the guy Fosun want then they need to support him, or he walks it's that simple. At least we'll know Fosun's true objectives for this club.
5.) 26 May 2025 11:37:48
Long unless vitor is backed decisively and quickly he won't be around to build anything.
6.) 27 May 2025 09:06:44
Good post Longmynd. Absolutely correct in summary. This is a vital window that I believe will define the club for the next three years. Add to that my belief that Fosun wish to sell, and it becomes more so. A thriving club with a good team will fetch more. But as you suggest anything less than acceptable support for VP will see him go and I don't think this club will survive another relegation battle with strong clubs coming up.

It is so good seeing some 'names' below us. It would be like winning a trophy to end the season with Spurs, West Ham, ManU and Everton below us.
1.) 22 Apr 2025 14:18:12
And to think, some pundits said West Ham had the best transfer window of any team in the Premier League at 144m euros.
And Man Utd have only spent 246m euros to be level on points with us.
2.) 22 Apr 2025 14:36:11
In a very short space of time we find ourselves no longer in the mire or even looking over our shoulders thanks to a record breaking run, so now everyone is looking up the table not down. It's the teams immediately above us that interest me at the moment as we still have to play 3 of them and I know we also have to play Leicester but I would like to think we will take 3 points from that.
Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace, who all have some dangerous players but equally have all been stuttering a bit, of late, so how many points will we take from those games? There's 9 available so is 12 overall being a tad ambitious? Can this team keep finding a way to win?
That leaves City who seem to be playing better again after a hit and miss spell so that may be a step too far for us, which is a pity as it will break up what may yet be an incredible run in.
'
If and it's a big 'if' we maintain this form we could finish in the top half of the table, as crazy as that sounds given the chaos of earlier in the season and recoup some additional financial benefit for it.
We have to give huge credit to VP and his team because to pull off this kind of a turnaround at this level is either a minor miracle or a damming indictment of previous Head Coaches / Managers working with this group of players.
Yes some will go, Sa, Johnstone, Sarabia (shame imo), Guedes, Cunha, Silva, Doyle (also shame) all probably nailed on to leave. However, we do seem to have a capable Director of Football and scouting network particularly in South America, so I trust they will find further quality to fill those gaps.
Blackfords is right though there are a number of 'big' clubs faltering at the moment that could all see VP as their saviour as well, Man U, Chelsea, Spurs so it's important that Fosun take care of business in such a way to keep him onside. VP does appear to be planning for next season, however, so do this right and next season could look very different and the positivity will come flooding back.

Apologies for the duplication I didn't think my original submission had gone through as I didn't expect it to become the featured article above.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate, Ed33 hadn't spotted there was a post held for him, so I had to nudge him.}
20 Apr 2025 16:04:45
Sell Sarabia? Not today! Great double, up to 15th.happy days.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 23:12:58
Certainly he's learnt his money from the bench in recent matches, well done to the players and management team.
15 May 2025 14:56:58
Good post Madman, lots of interesting variables and possibilities within a plan. No doubt VP has similar thoughts along those lines to keep to his style. I think it would be daft to unload RAN, just because the is not the full deal. He makes many contributions to attacking moves and assists. We do not have the luxury of being in the market for perfect oven ready players, and cannot keep unloading good players in the vague hope of getting a better one. Building on what we have would be a welcome change.
05 Dec 2024 18:25:25
I agree Bullys. I cannot think that a quality mamager would contemplate taking on this basket case. Maybe a has been who would look at some short term role, ie to season end, for quick dosh. Surely anyone with a CV would want written into a contract firm commitments from Fosun that they are unlikely to sign up to.
24 Aug 2024 11:08:58
Well said Rugeley?
20 Aug 2023 11:56:22
If it is a sale the timing seems strange. Fosun is a global investment company and would have been more likely to sell when Wolves were a more attractive prospect. At present they are a club hindered by FFP, which will be the same for a new owner, and a possible scenario of championship football on the horizon. It is possible Fosun are under pressure to raise cash, but what they would get for Wolves is small beer.
18 Jun 2023 18:27:56
He is big enough to make his own decisions, been a star for Wolves. I hope it all works out for him.
14 Jul 2025 08:28:35
Our problem as fans Abbey, is that we judge managements by performance, by their past actions. In recent times Fosun have fallen short, so short that many like you, myself included, have little confidence now in their custodianship of WWFC.
13 Jul 2025 17:01:37
Given that Wolves have yet to replace Cunha and Ait Nouri, it seems highly unlikely that they would be able to add a further replacement for Andre.I believed VP saw Andre and Gomes as vital to the way he wants Wolves to play. This gives hope that a few additions can blend in and create sufficient momentum for a for better season. In my view if Andre is sold it would be catastrophic to the team building, and I cannot see VP staying, nor Wolves surviving. We have a chance to do well next year, but if Fosun blow it, it will take more than a January dash to the sales to save us.
03 Jul 2025 16:32:26
That is such sad news. What a tragedy. I won't forget him and Raul gelling so many times together and bringing such hope and joy to the fans.
02 Jul 2025 08:35:35
How does VP feel reading all that. It totally lacks any vision for the future, and suggests that where Fosun can spend money, such as improve the ground to create revenue there is nothing on offer. Their original plan when buying Wolves is off the table, and Fosun seem content to tread water with a fear of spending more money. I still feel they are in sell mode, but buyers are scarce. I think they made a naive purchase.
27 Jun 2025 08:45:02
Agreed Longmynd. It is a good read that gives a bit of substance to our hopes and view of what we need.
