We are going down with a wimper? Any signings to suggest the owners are going to give it a go?

Agree0 Disagree0

It's said that it's not over till the fat lady sings
I reckon she's singing now Mark mate

24 Jan 2026 23:38:11
Yeah we're down for sure hopefully Fosun sell us to someone who cares.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 22:31:11
Mcatee and Elliot. What world are you living in. This is Fosun we are talking about. RE not for me, we have nothing to lose now yet no strikers on the pitch.Did he not watch Bodo in the weak. The Hwang thing really puzzles me though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mini unbeaten run has ended. With teams above earning points I think Wolves are now certain for relegation. My only interest now until the end of the season is who will join Wolves in the championship .

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 19:00:04
Think I may have to finally admit we are down, not sure what Rob doing starting Arias and Hwang ahead of JSL or Tolu. May not have made any difference but odd decision in my opinion. Not sure who will come and go now, all we can ask for is good performances and finish the season in a positive manner 🤞

24 Jan 2026 20:03:57
Watched Derby v Boggies last night , we have nothing to worry about next season.! Awful standard of football.! FWAW.

24 Jan 2026 20:30:55
I personally think RE got it wrong today

25 Jan 2026 00:51:35
Manager RE. Not good enough. Was it a damge limitation team cus goal difference ain't coming into it. Rob Edwards is not the man to take us forward. I'm not being negative but it's my opinion.

Went to team on their own turf who have been struggling and conceded defeat before the whistle went to start the game.city are no big threat anymore and we bottled it. poor manager.

25 Jan 2026 14:27:44
People who think we will breeze the Championship, are, I am afraid completely misguided. Most of the players will be gone which means a complete re-set and that will be difficult for any coach to handle, let alone an average one.

An ownership that is inbred in lies and deceit as well as lacking in football acumen and a fan base that has been stripped of practical and vocal angst against the abominable mismanagement.

25 Jan 2026 17:14:39
Excellent post QS so true!

26 Jan 2026 15:29:12
Presuming also that Birmingham and Wrexham don't go up; they will be two clubs with more power and ambition than Wolves-we may also have to add in Preston who are subject of a Saudi take over.
Fosun had their chance and responsibility and blew it, and as per usual the fans are taken for complete mugs.

Add in the cheating and lying from several perpetrators and it all mounts up to a return to the wilderness

24 Jan 2026 17:23:34
Disappointing result but to be honest an expected one.
Much better second half and I thought a great team effort.
Other results not helping us and it almost seems inevitable.
So let’s prepare for next season, see how many of this lot want to stay a recruit replacement for those that don’t.


JSL J Gomes Andre are all likely to be in the departure list as I would also have thought John Arias and maybe Krejci could also go.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 15:50:22
Well this game is over 2 0 half time

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 15:38:45
Hate VAR. Games gone. Arms are not meant to be stuck to your side when you are running or jumping or slowing down. Joke of a decision and it has taken a good 5 mins to decide.

Wow. I take that back. Finally a good decision. I cannot believe they used common sense there.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 13:24:46
What's the feeling for today's game? What line up should we be going with? It's the same starting team as Newcastle for me.
Obviously I want a win, or draw at best, being real how will we keep city out? So also being a realist would a 1-0 or 2-1 be acceptable given the circumstances.


I'll keep the faith though, and hang on to my dreams, a unexpected away win by an odd goal. (maybe literally).

Abbeywolf must have a chance Haalands on the bench but so are Arokodare and Larsen playing Whang and Mane up front. Me I would drop Whang and play Arokodare or Larsen more of a goal threat.

24 Jan 2026 14:25:48
Already can see it is ultra defensive. Atleast have a go. We won’t be able to sit behind the ball for 90 mins and keep a clean sheet.

24 Jan 2026 14:25:53
Just seen the team, no JSL or Tolu if BBC have it correct. Over in US for work so trying to keep eye on it 🤞👍

24 Jan 2026 14:45:05
We are expected to lose but I think Man City have been a little disrespectful by keeping Haaland on the bench.

24 Jan 2026 14:46:26
Can't believe the team he has picked today, only strikers we have sitting in the bench. But playing Hwang of course, he must have some dirt on the management to get near the team. Last game he was poorest on the pitch, and still Rob picks him. Waste of time trying to park the bus against City.

24 Jan 2026 16:04:29
I know we are away at Man City but the team selection is baffling to play without Tolu upfront means the ball keeps coming back. To get out of the mess we are in we need to win football matches so to set up so defensively is disappointing.

Let’s hope he brings Tolu and Larsen on and push Mane up second half and let’s give it go what have we got to lose?

24 Jan 2026 17:05:26
Better second half but game was already gone. Be interesting to hear why Edwards started with Arias and Hwang who have proved continuously they offer no threat. Who would you rather mark at a set piece Tolu or Arias baffling decision. Well done to the ref though took some guts to go to the screen at the Etihad and not give a pen!

24 Jan 2026 17:07:52
Only listened on radio major Frank but the second half with both tulo and larsen on seemed to suddenly give us a threat, but Rigardo instead of jackson may have had a lot to do with it?
Mane sounded as if he was freer in the second too.
2-0 didn't flatter City and by the sound of it they could have Upped gear at any time.


VAR was never needed to look at the pen claim but the Ref finally used common sense in denying their penalty claim.
I've no real feeling after match, expected to lose and only 2 against a class team can't be too bad.
Downwards and then upwards.

24 Jan 2026 17:44:09
Baffling decision not to play tolu against gui
Or jsl tbh.
What u playing at rob
It doesn't give any positivity to the team even getting a draw or to us fans
Still don't think he's right for us
Hes certainly got a thing about hwang.
Must be related

24 Jan 2026 18:52:32
I think he was thinking we'd be able to thread balls between city's lines grelyleg, and that hwang (poor choice) Arias (unlikely) and mane (too deep) would run onto them. That wasn't going to happen with city closing in on gomez and Andre and Hugo/tchouchou not getting upfield.


Interestingly our biggest threat going forward seemed to be mosquiro in the first, and he proved a bigger goal threat in the second.
Tolu/ Larsen should have been the obvious starter before hwang/arias methinks.

23 Jan 2026 22:52:36
Rob Edwards interview about players coming in. He says maybe 1 or 2 if it improves us! We are on 8 points? Improves?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2026 07:33:30
And should we beat City today it'll be 11 Marks, oh no I've been dreaming again.
Seriously we've been showing signs of improvement (couldn't really get any worse you're right) but a couple in might give us a little more,
Manes presence seems to lift the team alone
Said before, our target now is not to be bottom and to get more than 12 points.

23 Jan 2026 14:15:21
Very interesting comments from RE about Larsen Wolves do not want to sell this month. The player Larsen is quite happy at the club and not pushing to leave. Leeds valuation did not meet Wolves so offer was turned down and no body is trying to force a move. Which brings in the move about Agbadou all reports are saying he wants to leave and is pushing to go.

But now reports are saying Besiktas need to pay the 20mill Euros that Wolves paid only a year ago or he's not going anywhere. As reports are saying BBesiktas have only offered 13 to 15 mill which is a 5mill less for Wolves after 1 season tell them to get stuffed or pay what Wolves want.

Agree0 Disagree0

I rarely get to say this BUT I actually think Wolves are being quite savvy with the JSL bids. Because they know that at £30m we'd get that at the end of the season anyway. However, if by some miracle he actually finds form and scores 5-10 goals before the end of the season then they are in a MUCH stronger negotiating position at the end of the season to get closer to that £40m that they value him at.
Add to this that I also think RE has a point in his appraisal of the situation, because what all us Wolves fans have done (myself included) is seen the player we had before the Newc bid followed by the player after and we've all just (naturally) assumed the causation of his currently woeful form i.e he wants out/can't be arsed. While we've also all been ignoring the other mitigating factors, largely being that every single creative player that made his goals last season has since been sold or let go. I'm not saying he gets a free pass BTW cause I agree that he also hasn't worked hard enough this season. But again whilst I previously assumed that was because he was sulking in truth it's FAR more like that (like the rest of the squad) he's just become completely unmotivated by our complete lack of creative talent. I suppose what I'm wondering is what happend first did he stop working or did he just become entirely sick of making runs that none of our squad were even capable of seeing much less finding with a pass.


It is also worth remembering here that the back drop of all this is a striker that last season that scored 14 goals in their debut Prem season, that's IMMENSE! In fact at the £25m paid that's virtually unheard of these days outside the top four! Normally at that price your lucky to get a striker with 7+ goals in a debut Prem season.
Now I'm also realistic and know he will inevitably leave (next week or at the end of the season). All I'm saying is that I understand the club's reluctance to sell him when his value is (literally) at its lowest point it's been since we signed him. Don't forget here that Shi (the second:) has just seen his predecessor hounded out of the club for consistently poor transfer business. If Nathan has ANY sense he will know that selling JSL on the cheap now, only to (potentially) see him bang goals in at the next club would have every Wolves fan yet again questioning our transfer acumen. It would get him off to the worst possible start with the fans!
Let's see what the next week or so brings, but all I'm saying is that with our current situation (essentially relegated) then the club should be in no rush to start a fire sale. From what TFG says (and he knows his financial onions) then we are screwed financially eitherway and with that in mind every penny counts! Add to that with the entirely uninspiring players we've been tied with then (personally) I'm in no rush to see JSL leave on the cheap COYW 👍

23 Jan 2026 16:59:24
BullsBoy I know what your saying but if Wolves keep on improving and keep there best players. You never know and I put a post o befofe if Wolves are relegated they have a price and stick to it. Reports going round Liverpool 26mill for Andre get stuffed 45 to 50 mill if PLor champioship simple as.

23 Jan 2026 17:55:32
I agree DMac, the low ball bids are sadly a reflection of where we are. The vultures are circling and hoping for a distressed sale, especially with our Brazilian lads because they will want to try and push there way back into the squad in time for the WC.

Like I say though I agree with your premise, now is not the time to panic and sell every last bit of talent we have left at flea market prices because right now if we sell yet ANOTHER manager down the 'transfer window river' then we really could be screwed if RE becomes disinfranchised with the whole project (like those that have gone before him) 👍

23 Jan 2026 18:26:34
I agree Bully, we're down anyway so let's play hardball if we have to sell in this window. JSL has had to make up for the loss of creative players by becoming more creative himself. He's put a lovely couple of defence splitting passes to Mane, one of which was a goal. In fact, they are developing into a bit of a duo.

23 Jan 2026 19:10:41
Absolutely agree with every single word you say BullysBoy II and I’m as guilty to judge JLS as anyone.

I know it’s difficult (as with others who post) but I lose interest and the will to live when posts are really long! 😫😂

23 Jan 2026 20:55:43
It'll be interesting to see what happens next week and what Shi's resolve is like if a 35m comes in for Larsen.
I was saying let him go for whatever we could get as I thought his heart was no longer here, but you make good logical sense Bully's, considerations I hadn't given, but, we have to face the fact that he'll go at some point and it's abit of a gamble as to what we might get.


We'll see how RE and Shi II work together soon.
