Wolves banter 3

Domenico Teti follows Vitor Pereira out of Wolves exit door after four and a half months at Molineux

04 Nov 2025 22:51:34
Always on the cards once VP left, let me guess 'by mutual consent'.

05 Nov 2025 00:03:36
What did he do in 4 and a half months?

05 Nov 2025 06:03:44
My thoughts exactly Oldgold.

05 Nov 2025 06:36:38
So, of the 6 football departments reporting to Shi as now Head of Football, there are 2 vacancies!
I am intrigued to know who is facilitating the recruitment of a new manager?

04 Nov 2025 21:47:34
TETI GONE JESUS WE ARE A LAUGHING STOCK

04 Nov 2025 22:26:05
Can you list his positive contributions then, JB?

04 Nov 2025 22:39:19
He deserves to go, he has done nothing to support or help the team. He’s have a feeling Shi will be next.

04 Nov 2025 23:09:12
Teti looked like a Harry Potter character. He was the 'mastermind' behind the last transfer window, I don't honestly think he'll be missed.
Get rid of Shi too and put a couple of folk in who understand the Wolves.

05 Nov 2025 08:01:36
TETI did nothing just hope shi follows him because he’s done F all

04 Nov 2025 19:16:32
What a sorry state we are in, fans calling for the Manager to be sacked (that worked), fans calling for the Chairman to be replaced (not yet) and a collection of fans groups writing to the Chairman and principle shareholder of Fosun International demanding to know what is going on and expressing their lack of confidence in Jeff Shi and the decisions he's making.

In fact, fans are now so desperate they are calling for managerial appointments that 5 years ago would have been laughable. I commented a while back that we need a 'name' managing the team and the only thing that will get that is £'s and that's if one could be persuaded given our perilous state. What we don't want is to hook a decent Manager who with help from the January window keeps us up get's a better contract only for Shi (at Fosun's behest) to sell off our best performers the following Summer and put us straight back to where we are now, total lunacy.

So here's hoping that 'fans letter' get's read, understood and Fosun return to the table with a sensible constructive reply, make more funding available, move Jeff Shi and replace him with someone who is at least interested in developing the Club both on and off the pitch. If those things don't happen I can see a pretty empty stadium after Xmas and that's in no ones interest. It's up to you Guo this Club needs help otherwise you are putting £100M's of your own money at risk.

Big sam - it's his childhood team, he has plenty of matches to sort the defence out.

Football is evolving again, and his tactics would suit us at the moment, with big strand and A up front.

Better chance of keeping us up anyway. But he's not a long term option.

04 Nov 2025 17:39:08
Big Sam with Robbie Keane maybe?

04 Nov 2025 18:02:36
PLEASE NO BIG SAM now aged 71 and hasn’t been near a football pitch for 3 years

De wolf was god has written an article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sliding Toward the Abyss

04 Nov 2025 20:51:51
De Wolf - Why do you think Tolu will stay?
Surely his salary will be way out of Wolves pocket if they go down. Plus he will still raise a transfer fee albeit nothing like the amount paid by Wolves and Wolves will be desperate for cash injections.
Otherwise pretty much agree that the squad will be almost entirely disposed of one way or another - sold, bought out, contract not renewed or sent out on loan.
Consequently with what is left you may well be correct and a double relegation is far from impossible even before you take into account the genuine possibility of Wolves entering into administration and thus being hit with a 12 point penalty.
The next few weeks will tell us a lot about how Fosun sees things.
A serious managerial signing and a very healthy January transfer budget will indicate they are still committed.
A cheap option for manager and the sale of J Gomes and Andre - the two remaining diamonds in the squad - indicates Fosun are simply looking to extract as much value from the club as it can whilst it still can.


As Abbey pointed out in a post earlier today Seville was a real "sliding doors" moment.
If Nuno had been left in control - with Thelwell and Dalrymple - Wolves may well have been a European team on more than one occasion over the last few years and certainly would be a solid top half of the table team, highly profitable and worth a fortune.
Jeff taking control meant that none of this happened and Wolves have been a massively loss making club and may well be no longer a Prem team next year worth nothing or close to it.
Unless Fosun has extracted hundreds of millions over the past few years, which seems highly unlikely, Jeff has not just spectacularly failed Wolves but Fosun as well.

04 Nov 2025 21:18:01
I’m not sure with tolu I just get the impression he’s not the sort of character to jump ship, I could and probably am wrong and like you say he will probably go as well. I did post the other day on talking wolves about how fosun may stick around and leech the parachute payments for as long as they can before peeing off.

I genuinely fear for the next few seasons and can see a free fall like the 80’s on the cards

04 Nov 2025 21:23:36
Also I point out in my article that Jeff and fosun are equally culpable for the mess we find ourselves in, as for the money side of it when you work out sponsorship, tv money, premier league money the club have had an income just shy of a billion pounds since returning to the prem, I’m not including transfers in this as over the years they have pretty much balanced out now, slightly in the red but not by much.

A good example is when the first spectres of psr started to appear, the season we had to sell neves etc that same year Jeff’s annual pay shot from 220 grand a year to around 660 grand a year this is when we are being told as fans that the club is in dire financial crisis

05 Nov 2025 06:15:17
From a purely non football sided of things, and Iknow nothing regards the financial world, if Fosun are likely to attract offers of 4/500m selling wouldn't represent a loss on their original investment would it? In fact I'm imagining a positive return, so why are they hanging in with us given the current global tensions.


It's not to run and develop an English Premier football club, even if just for fun. We've been sold a few lies for whatever reasons, and perhaps Jeff as been doing his job for fosun successfully in their eyes De Wulf.?

05 Nov 2025 07:26:51
I absolutely agree abbey I think they bought the club and thought they could chuck a bit of cash at it at first and end up as big as Barcelona Which would tie in with Jeff’s delusional comments, then through a perfect storm of covid/Chinese government restrictions and the reality of football they have realised it’s actually a very expensive business.

They have zero interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers apart from being able to use our iconic badge for e sports, the sooner they have gone the better but I think it’s going to get a lot lot worse for us before that happens

05 Nov 2025 08:28:54
Totally agree De Wolf. They need to unload Wolves to meet their commercial strategy since COVID. They are struggling to find a cash buyer due to the uncertain financial world we live in and the PL restrictions on direct investment.

04 Nov 2025 15:59:55
Bos : Does anyone think Shi's going to read it, he should be the writer not the reader, addressed FAO Mr Guangchang.

04 Nov 2025 16:53:35
He get's a dishonourable mention in the letter Ron and it does reflect the fans views on the state of affairs similar to those expressed on here. It's a pity that's it's taken so many about 5 years to wake up to the fact.

04 Nov 2025 15:01:15
Robbie Keane for manager young got experience won Hungarian league ambitious and liked by the fans.

04 Nov 2025 16:07:04
I'm on the Allardyce (yes I can spell it) mentoring Robbie Keane and recruiting Coady to the team. It's gaining momentum.

04 Nov 2025 16:40:56
Robbie Keane - Yes
No to Allardyce. He’s probably fixed more things than Bob the Builder!

04 Nov 2025 17:34:36
Agree Allardyce no
Keane yes, young and hungry with new ideas and not just coming to top his pension up

04 Nov 2025 19:11:25
Big Sam. It's a perfect situation for him. And his age is irrelevant.

04 Nov 2025 20:03:42
Haha, a perfext situation in that no other club even in the Champ let alone the Prem would be mad enough or desperate enough to give Big Sam a job?! Lordy lord, I find it hilarious that we were all up in arms yesterday (rightly) when GON was interviewed but then in the next breathe peeps are suggesting Big Sam! For the record GON has still never been relegated whereas both of Sam's last two Prem jobs ended in relegation! His age might be irrelevant but the fact he's not been able to hold down a job in footy for almost three years now is not! People moaning at the club for lacking ambition then in the next breathe calling to employ a manager that's not succeeded in the Prem since 2017!
Good to see your good at spelling Mike cause clearly maths isn't your best subject.

How exactly do two managers work? Who picks the team and why would either even want or agree to that exactly? Then there's the money, we've just paid a fortune to get rid of VP and all his back room but we are paying two manager wages are we?! Then there's the Coady scenario, the guy hasn't even suggested he's ready to hang up his boots and even if he did I can tell you now Jeff is the LAST person he will ever work for again and who can blame him! 🤣
Still thanks for the laugh gents, much needed after the current nonsense from our club! 😂😂😂

05 Nov 2025 07:46:28
Funny that BullyBoy I seem to remember a number of Managerial partnerships working rather well in the past adding up to European Cup and Champions League success (Forest and Utd just to mention the obscure ones). On the money side if you want more of the same be cheapskate, and as regards Coady neither you nor I know what's in his mind, so shut tf up.

05 Nov 2025 09:43:51
What are you even on about?! Both the examples you've given were a) decades ago and b) not two current managers both taking a lead role in a club, cause that would be ridicolous!
Haha, your spellings gone bad again buddy or in fact it would seem that you are just throwing ya toys out the pram either way it made me laugh again so thanks for that! Oh and it's quite easy to know what Connor thinks of Jeff he's talked about it at length in multiple interviews (e.g.

Finding out Shi wanted him gone through a Sky report) so it really doesn't take a genius to work it out, well not that I thought anyway. You keep chucking around the angry words though big man, like I say I need a good laugh this week! 🤣

04 Nov 2025 14:51:08
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool v Aston Villa - A Very Quick Liverpool Perspective

04 Nov 2025 13:49:47
Too much like "hard work" for EvT it seems.
Just who (with any worth) would have the appetite to take this job on given the Shi/Fosun connection?.
Dead Man Walking!

04 Nov 2025 11:53:07
I see the fan groups have sent an open letter to Fosun
Very interesting reading, also some of the groups involved traditionally ones like always wolves have defended fosun and Jeff but not now.
Would be good if something came of it, organised protests would be the next logical step

04 Nov 2025 13:29:35
Defended the defenceless, this has been 5 or 6 years in the making, they must've all been too pre - occupied watching games through their cameras to notice what's happening on the pitch and interviewing disappointed fans outside Molineux, must be getting serious, Fosun will be losing them their followers and subscribers.

04 Nov 2025 13:59:16
Does anyone know the letters’ content?

04 Nov 2025 14:15:26
Try the Express and Star sport website with the heading 'Wolves fan groups pen open letter .', everything is there.

04 Nov 2025 14:54:50
Have a look on news now bos there’s a few bits on there where you can read it in full

04 Nov 2025 16:44:47
It's on 'X'

04 Nov 2025 17:24:51
Thanks all!
