Wolves banter 6

02 Jan 2026 16:11:36
Rob Edwards has said that Wolves might have to generate their own funds this month if they want to spend big on players.

He's admitted it doesn't necessarily need to be experienced players, but players with the right character and players who want to be at the club.

Who would have thought that Fosun have again promised a Manager one thing but delivered another?

02 Jan 2026 16:46:10
It will soon be time to get the ‘Save The Wolves’buckets out again .

First The Points

02 Jan 2026 17:14:43
As expected looking like more betrayal from Fosun, no transfer funds, no support, sell what decent players we have left.
Nothing changes and never will whist they are in control, absolute parasites.

02 Jan 2026 19:07:02
Agreed Oxley, so much for Fosun being keen to help as they, in reality, have no intention. RE is, like VP another 'compliant' Coach which is why they got the job.

Let's see what happens this January but I think the phrase is 'hope for the best but expect the worst'.

02 Jan 2026 20:55:35
If Shi2 has any self respect, conscious or honour there will be help to try and keep us up. Anything short will prove him to be a liar.
Time will tell.

02 Jan 2026 22:46:12
So once again fosun and shi mk2 have lied. what a shocker.


I’ve been saying it for a while fosun have zero interest/care for us a club they just want the iconic badge to slap all over their esports crap in China and South Korea
Make no mistake things can and will get massively worse next season when we don’t have the income from the premier league and sky tv

03 Jan 2026 00:45:54
Should be called poison not fosun.this is only going to get worse. For the faithful and God help us next season in the chumpionrubbish .

Welcome back LongnyndWolf have missed your input.

01 Jan 2026 22:51:33
How do you feel about keeping the same formation for Saturday but drop Hwang move Mane into the forward line and reinstate Andre to midfield. Give all strikers instruction to shoot on site and get the wing backs swinging in more crosses because if Kilman is playing we should be guaranteed a penalty or two.

02 Jan 2026 09:48:06
All of the above KHwolf but not sure about Andre.
As you say, we’d get more goals if there was service from the wings, but we’ve spent more time over the half season in and out of our own half due to sideways and back passing!

02 Jan 2026 13:04:47
Santiago Bueno is a doubt for tomorrow's game but if he is fit I'd go Sa, Doc, Mosquera and Bueno at the back, Tchatchoua and Hugo at full back/wing backs, Gomes in CDM, Wolfe and Arias as the wide players with Mane and Arokadore up top.

02 Jan 2026 13:49:35
What we are crying out for is a captain, regardless of position, someone who wears his heart on his sleeve and can drive his team mates forward, playing for the club and not just the wage. We haven't had that type of player since Coady left.

02 Jan 2026 16:39:31
Tomorrows game is massive.
I know they all are at mo.
But w.ham. Are there for the taking.
And you never know what confidence can do.
Fingers crossed we can put some sort of run together and, get past that 11 point tally

02 Jan 2026 17:31:52
Spot on Derry!….maybe Ward Prowse on loan is the best we could get though.

01 Jan 2026 18:22:37
On another note should we ask the ex chelsea boss if he is interested

01 Jan 2026 18:10:06
Right, Xmas and New Year are over and my mini break from posting, plus the removal of Jeff Shi, has re-enthused me and encouraged me to start commenting on here again. I for one will take Nathan Shi's word's on face value, certainly until the end of this window, which may yet put me back into hibernation if it's another cock up.

Now given that nothing really improved when RE first took over from VP am I reading too much into the return of
Rui Pedro Silva as Assistant Head Coach. It's fair to say performances have improved since his return so was he the power behind Nuno's throne and is he starting to have a similar impact working with RE.

After all Nuno always praised his backroom staff insisting that much of the original turnaround at Wolves was down to them. We've seen a progressive improvement in the last three matches culminating in the draw at Man U, plus a better showing against Liverpool. So is that the RE effect, the RPS effect or a bit of both?

Probably, all too late, of course, unless the wheels come off three other teams and we suddenly turn a corner thanks to some inspired sales and signings this month but it would at least give the paying fans something to cheer.

01 Jan 2026 20:58:59
Welcome back longmynd and a
happy new year to ya.
Gawd knows what's going to happen in the next few weeks, have we started looking more of a team due to wantaways putting more in or due to RE et al.

as suggested?
The team will have to be cobbled together again over January into Feb I'd imagine, but it'll be interesting to see how it happens.

02 Jan 2026 15:04:26
I don't think we should hold our breath for an exciting transfer period.
Not sure who is charge of the Club at the moment.
In previous seasons, Guangchang has come over and authorised signings, when things were bad. Doesn't look like he is coming this time.


At best it will be sell before we buy, which usually means new faces don't arrive until late, sadly then no time to be integrated.
I think we will have to wait until the summer to see if we are being allowed to re-build.

02 Jan 2026 17:32:39
Be a mad dash on the final day as usual.then bring no improvement again.heyho

02 Jan 2026 18:58:21
Welcome back Longmynd. Sadly I think that we cannot trust Fosun to do what is necessary. They have presided over the demise of our club for 3 years. They have sold our best players, and put us into a shameful position which has only one outcome. I see no change to their intention in this transfer window.

01 Jan 2026 17:08:19
At least them down the road are giving me something to smile about in the new year. Steptoes lost again and dropping Down towards that championship relegation zone, fingers crossed the football gods are trying to balance out our bad season by seeing them go down to league one!

01 Jan 2026 11:32:28
Happy new year all, what are your thoughts on ward prowse from West Ham? I think he could be an immense signing for us and he wants out from the hammers

01 Jan 2026 12:05:39
De Wolf, I suspect he will want to stay down South. A loan may be possible I suppose as he could want game time for an outside world cup call.

01 Jan 2026 12:44:47
Good shout De Wolf but I don't think he'd come to us given our situation

01 Jan 2026 14:23:30
Sorry, but no chance

01 Jan 2026 16:27:33
I think we may upset the apple 🍎 cart and beat WHU.
Nuno will get sacked as a result but the timing - yet again - is all wrong.

01 Jan 2026 17:47:38
Ward Prowse would definitely be a great signing (and Captain)
However no chance as he wouldn’t want Championship football.
Whilst Fosun are here we are SADLY also stuck with Hwang what a farce!

01 Jan 2026 20:37:41
Ward-Prowse is a great shout and if we can’t get him to come what about Scott Twine at Bristol City takes a brilliant free kick scored against us on the cup. Aris Mehmeti is getting a few goals for Bristol as well.

The problem is getting clubs to sell their best players in January but let’s hope the club decide to throw some serious money at the situation and make a few decent signings

01 Jan 2026 09:46:21
I recorded the match against the mancs as I just couldn't bring myself to watch it live. Watched it yesterday and was really impressed. Something I couldn't understand though unless I got wrong, was after Krejci scored he ran to the left hand corner which appeared to be to hold the wolves supporters (I definitely saw one with wolves gear on) but there was no response at all, just slapped arse looks.

I know for a fact that the wolves supporters would have gone mad. If they weren't wolves supporters what was that one bloke doing there?

01 Jan 2026 10:20:08
It was a Utd fan with a half and half scarf

01 Jan 2026 11:06:20
Doog, they were Manchester fans with half and half scarfs on, Wolves fans were opposite end of stadium.

01 Jan 2026 11:12:37
They were wearing those stupid half and half scarves! and the Wolves side was visible to the camera.

01 Jan 2026 16:38:35
Why would anyone want to wear a half and half scarf? Never heard of such a thing. As an aside, it seems that one of my wife’s and my favourite players Hughie McIlmoyle has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He used to rise like a Dolphin.

02 Jan 2026 08:03:30
There are vendors at every match trying to sell the things so, weirdly, there must be a market and not just from so called 'tourists '.

01 Jan 2026 09:56:19
Happy New Year everyone!
My tip for the Wolves . Toni Fruk, HNK Rijeka, a Croatian International.
24yo attacking midfielder. Career to date - Games 136, Goals 34, Assists 31.
Last season - 33, 11, 11.
Check him out on YouTube.
Could he be what is wanted to score those elusive goals?

01 Jan 2026 11:03:54
Arsenal are already in discussions with him.

01 Jan 2026 13:06:53
According to 'SportsMole', the reports of Arsenal interest came from Croatia but Arsenal have said there is 'no substance' to those reports!
Brighton and Everton are said to be interested but have made no moves so far.

01 Jan 2026 14:24:58
No chance of anyone with real quality coming to Wolves

01 Jan 2026 07:39:06
{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, Perspective Needed as Manchester United Navigate a Difficult Phase

01 Jan 2026 03:07:41
Happy New year to all the eds, posters and readers.

01 Jan 2026 09:05:09
Happy new year rko, let’s hope it’s better for us supporters than 2025 😂
