Wolves banter 7

{Ed's Note - BullysBoy II has posted a new article entitled, Wolves Selection Debates Need Better Perspective

11 Feb 2026 08:17:24
Bully's, you seem to think that there is some underlying aversion towards He Chang, there certainly isn't from me and I'm rather upset that it's suggested of others.

Wolves are and have been an internationally comprised squad, there have been good and bad amongst those players. In turn they will have been criticised or celebrated accordingly is association with their abilities and performances not their nationalities.

When we're having a poor run (or season like never before) we get frustrated and look for answers, Hwang has been one of those players who has been perceived as not being up to the job on several occasions, the focus is then upon him and his inclusion in teams draws attention.
I've openly admitted on here that I'd been actively watching him in matches and thought he'd contributed little to MY mind.
The pros and gaffers who know the game obviously recognised something else, and that's how it should be.

However, they don't explain fully why they choose players, why should they?, so we again look for our own explanations.
Shirt sales, yes we know that's not big money but it's sarcastic and offers a lchance to relieve frustrations of a sort.
The Korean Web company appearing on the wolves app. Etc is perhaps a coincidence, but it feeds towards a connection to one of our players so it's easy to add up 2 and 2, joining dots and drawing a possible link.
And, finally my thoughts that the player has a personal 'appearance ' clause in his contract in order to maintain his profile in concerns outside of the game itself.

These are of course simply people looking to explain why a manager is constant in his choosing of a player that we the humble fan may believe is not up to his job.
It is not born out of any discrimination of nationality or ethical reasoning.

Hwang-Hee Chan might be good enough to play in the Premier League, but he hasn’t been very successful at Wolves. Maybe the system doesn’t suit him — a system that hasn’t worked at Wolves for far too long.

Yes, Hwang is often anonymous in games, his work rate isn’t good enough, and he doesn’t provide enough goals and assists. Sadly, Wolves are not a good team anymore - this has been the case for a few seasons - and players like Hwang are not rare at Wolves.

Wolves fans need to look at things subjectively. They should list all the truly decent PL players at Wolves, and then consider how many would get into other PL sides. The truth is most of the players at Wolves are not good enough for Premier League football. Scapegoating Hwang is ludicrous.

11 Feb 2026 09:54:23
Haha, well I absolutely did not write that article I'm afraid. I am assuming it was as our friend AI, not that I especially mind as it does neatly sum up my feelings on it.
Good post Name, agreed fella. And on a side note Abbey, I wasn't aiming it at you buddy and apologies for catching you in the cross fire.

In fact I know all too well that you have also spoken out before about the nonsense conspiracies around this debate so not intended at you fella 👍

11 Feb 2026 11:20:26
Ryan Leister of The Wolves Report is one of loudest most prominent voices when it comes to hammering Hwang Hee-chan. As if dropping/selling Hwang would have made any bloody difference to Wolves’ league position and how dreadful they have been this season. Wolves are where they are due to many factors - a dreadful CEO, penny pinching, woeful player recruitment, inexperienced ineffective executives, ineffective scouting, substandard coaches/managers, etc. The list goes on. In reality, without the surprise of Mane literally exploding onto the scene, Rob Edwards’ Wolves wouldn’t be any better than the mess left behind by Vitor Pereira.

To see how poor the player recruitment has been at Wolves look at the RB/RWB position. At stages throughout this season Wolves have had Ki-Jana Hoever, Jackson Tchatchoua, Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Gomes, Pedro Lima and Yerson Mosquera available for ONE position. Six players for one position. Utterly pathetic recruitment.

Wolves are a shambles from top to bottom. Fans can have a go at one player not pulling his weight when other players are good enough. How many players around Hwang are good enough? Taking the whole squad into account, they can be counted on one hand.

11 Feb 2026 12:02:45
Get Frank in ready for next ssn.just been sacked at spurs.

11 Feb 2026 12:43:20
No problem bully's mate, it's a banter site and that's what we share. COYW.

11 Feb 2026 13:05:34
I was just going to say get Frank in. Terrible at spurs; he will prob walk easily into another prem team but would give him a chance to re build us and prove any doubters wrong. We would also start becoming a Danish team and no longer a Portuguese side!

11 Feb 2026 15:20:06
The last decent manager Wolves had was Julen Lopetegui. Under Fosun, those days have gone. Wolves head coaches now come from a bargain bin. Gary O’Neil, Vitor Pereira and Rob Edwards. The executives who make all the decisions behind the scenes come from the same bin.

11 Feb 2026 16:09:45
The bloke doesn't even know how to chew properly (thankfully won't be getting to see those open mouth close ups again for a while) Bux never mind manage a football team.

10 Feb 2026 19:36:07
Has anyone tracked Wolves rise and fall to the engagement and disenchantment of Jorge Mendes?
That may be more of a reason for the downfall and many fans wanted him to not be involved with Wolves.

10 Feb 2026 22:06:04
Because of agents and ‘super’ agents - the rapacious, blood sucking parasites that they are - players fees have spiraled out of control. Yes Wolves have had some class players thanks to Mendes, but they’ve also had some overpriced dross.

Wasn’t Fabio Silva’s fee so ludicrously high because Mendes wanted £6 million for himself? Imagine a £250,000 house selling for £500, 000 because Marcus the Estate Agent wants £250,000 for brokering the deal. That’s what football has become.

11 Feb 2026 13:14:11
There was more wrong with the Fabio Silva deal than Mendes alone. If Mendes got £6mil from the £35mil paid, that still leaves an astonishing £29mil net for a poor player, the so-called 'generational talent' as described by Jeff.

Why and when did the rot set in at Wolves? Maybe the Silva deal disheartened Nuno? Maybe the block on further investment by the Chinese government? We all have our theories.

10 Feb 2026 18:42:27
Does anyone have any decent links for football feeds? Showing Championship football. I want to watch Blues vs Boggies.

{Ed001's Note - we can't give out those on here or we will get taken down. We are on our final warning across the sites as posters put those up and then, after we asked them not to do so, they started putting them on live chats. We nearly got removed due to it, so have to be really careful.}

10 Feb 2026 19:02:23
Apologies.

{Ed001's Note - no worries mate you didn't know.}

11 Feb 2026 08:41:40
Ed, I occasionally put up links including tonights game. Nobody told me not to do it! Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

{Ed033's Note - No links, please.

10 Feb 2026 14:36:15
Some good news coming out at Molineux at long last.

Hee Chan Hwang has a calf injury and is definitely out against Forest.

This means Wolves will opt to play 11 v 11 and may actually stand a chance of a positive performance.

10 Feb 2026 15:21:26
Perfectly timed ‘injury’ to take him out the firing line.

10 Feb 2026 15:32:34
Excellent Goodwil1, I think it should be:-
Sa, Hugo, Santi, Krejci, Mosquera, R. Gomes, Joao (if fit) Angel, Mane, Armstrong and Tolu.
About time we got another win. 🤞👍

10 Feb 2026 16:11:12
Lordy lord you are obsessed with the guy! Is that how far you've fallen, celebrating players injuries?! How pathetic!
I honestly can't wait for him to get a transfer cause then you'll have to find someone else to blame for everything wrong with the club! My monies on Toti 🤣
Well our ONLY positive performance this season was with two goals from him. So good to see your basing this on the sound statistical basing that most of your posts are done on.

Or did you speak to some random/imaginery fans who you decided were South Korean to get there views on it?! Just not sure how the club will survive without the millions a match he supposedly brings in! Just make sure that foil hat doesn't fall off eh lad! Priceless 🤣🤣🤣

10 Feb 2026 17:03:29
Hwang isn’t injured. Wolves are protecting him from all the toxic hate against him. I want a Wolves team that doesn’t need Hwang, but Wolves fans cheering his substitution is disgusting.

10 Feb 2026 17:27:26
This negativity is half the reason for the season going so badly. Do you think the players don't know there are knobs celebrating injuries and other pathetic things?

10 Feb 2026 17:28:00
BullysBoy, I see that you don't do sarcasm and wit.

Which game are you referring to where Hwang scored twice? I remember the West Ham game but seem to recall Arias, Hwang penalty and Mane scoring. Perhaps Hwang was awarded one of the other goals but only you were told about it.

Also, I take it you haven't seen Hwang play this season either because if your suggesting his 1 decent performance against West Ham warrants his continued presence in the team, then you my friend are living in cloud cuckoo land. Just remind me who the MotM was? That's right, it was Mane.

And also, why do you think these fans I spoke to are imaginary South Korean? Everyone who attends Molineux knows that week after week, there are loads of South Korean fans. You are either so blinkered that you1: Simply don't see these Korean fans. 2: Are blind or 3: Don't actually attend Molineux.

Taken from the Club website:

While the exact monetary value of the KOCOWA+ sponsorship has not been publicly disclosed, it is part of a strategic push to engage the club's growing Korean fanbase, which saw a 95% increase in viewers during the 2023/24 season.

Obviously we are now 2 years further down the line and the partnership has been extended. But as you say, it must be imaginary Koreans that we all see at Molineux.

And yes, I don't rate Toti either. Again, I base this on seeing him play.

10 Feb 2026 18:03:42
Well we'll see tomorrow just how much better we can be without him Bully's. I'm personally glad he won't be starting, and struggle to understand how he has.
But, as said before the ex-pros recognised him and so have several gaffers. I just think he's got an appearance clause in the contract.

10 Feb 2026 19:01:03
I don’t agree with celebrating any players being injured or cheer substitutions.
Both Hwang and Toti have been very poor for sometime and should not have played as many games as they have, particularly Hwang.
Surely picking and playing anyone who is not performing well sends a poor message to any player that is competing for a place in the side.

10 Feb 2026 20:06:46
I agree banksy celebrating injuries and substitutions is poor.
Personally I think Hwang has played well since the Arsenal game. Yes he hasn't scored. But he has been holding the ball up and turning to allow other forwards/ midfielders to make a run.
The past two home games he did this 6-7 times and none of his team mates moved.
Maybe he is just a higher calibre squad player. If he played for a team in Europe he would be useful. With a front line that doesn't move and wing backs that are hesitant to get forward he looks isolated and wasteful.


BTW this isn't me saying Hwang is a tactical genius like Rob Edwards.
Toti is a great servant but is woeful in a back 4. I do think the confidence has been kicked out of them this season.
Plus is it Toti's fault that it becomes a little predictable when we play the same players every week. We are sussed out in defence, midfield and upfront.
There are no options in this Wolves team.

10 Feb 2026 20:10:10
Oh I'm fine with sarcasm and wit, you just lack the ability to pull off either sadly! And your right he didn't score two, but he got a goal and an assist so still played a greater part than most on the pitch that day.

And yes I do see a lot of different fans at the Mol, but you didn't talk to any of them because they wouldn't be stupid enough to leave a ground at half time when the players don't come out for another couple of hours after that, like you say seems odd that as someone that claims to go every week that you in fact clearly don't seem to know that eh?!

Speaking of things you don't know, it would also seem that you lack the ability to understand basic business as well buddy because (as I've told you before but clearly you either don't like or lack the ability to read) it's NOT a sponsorship with KOCOWA which is precisely why you can't find the 'monetary value' because there is none. OK so now I'm starting to understand your confusion, it's not that you misunderstand why he's being picked it's that you misunderstand (very basic) business! KOCOWA are primarily a streaming platform not a sponsorship, we triggered an extension with them and not the other way around! ?

Seungmin Kang, CEO/COO at KOCOWA, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Wolves for the 2025/26 season. Last season, this collaboration provided us with a meaningful opportunity to share Korean content not only with football fans in the UK, but also across Europe."

You seem to be missing the point here, they are using Wolves to push Korean content in the UK that's why it's called a partnership! Whilst it has certainly helped improve revenue streams with Korean fans I will ask you again how much do you think that's worth? What price do you think everyone of our last 6 managers would see as acceptable for giving up their pride and their reputations for picking a player they don't rate?! Haha, honestly it's too funny! Stay away from those chem trails and maybe stop being gross about our own players being injured, think you can manage that?!

Abbey I never said we couldn't be better without him, in fact the whole way through this I've been consistently clear that I don't especially rate him. That doesn't however mean I think it's OK to target one of our own players for the simple crime of being picked by multiple managers and happening to be from South Korea! It's really quite gross to be honest, I don't see people assuming anyone else is getting picked due to their nationality, do you?! No everyone's else is allowed to be rubbish and that's fine but poor Hwang has to justify his place simply because of where he's from and frankly I'm bloody sick of it! It wouldn't even be so offensive if it was CLEARLY absolute horse sh1t! Just bored of it now to be honest, clearly so is the Edwards hence his press release ?

10 Feb 2026 22:34:09
1: I admit that I don't know about business. But I do know that Wolves wouldn't partner with Kocawa for little to no gain. If that is to gain a higher Korean fan base, then what better way to draw them in.

2: Who said the fans wanted to see the players? I said that the South Korean fans left at half time and when I asked why, they said they only came to see Hwang. Not all fans wait for the players. The reason why I spoke to them was because they were leaving the ground and I wondered why. Had they have stayed, I wouldn't have bothered.

3: If someone has a different opinion to you, why do you feel the need to jump down their throat?

4: I back each and every player 100% every time but I'm also honest to know that when a player is not very good, we should look to get rid of them.

5: Your point to Abbey - Who's having a go at Hwang just for being Korean? let's not make this a race thing. The reason why the fans are having a go at Hwang is because he is useless. Nothing more, nothing less. Us fans have called out other players, Fabio, Guedes and Hoever being just 3 in the last year. Did we ever mention their nationality? No. We wanted them gone because they were rubbish.

I agree that none of the players should be booed, but believe me, everyone on Saturday was relieved when he was subbed.

There is a reason why we are bottom. If you look at the player rating on BBC which is submitted by the fans. Hwang is usually down the lower end of the scale, so ask yourself, are all Wolves fans racist and against Hwang ir is he just not very good.

10 Feb 2026 23:40:54
See then that's problem with making up stories Good because this is (literally) what you said:
"they had only come to see Hwang play and now that he had gone off, they weren't interested but were going to take their position outside the players entrance to try and meet him" so they were you words fella, was there a wolf there as well cause I think there could be a fable in this story?!
With any of those other players listed did you ever even ONCE assume they where being played by EVERY manager that worked with them simply because of there nationality? No, no you didn't, in fact the ONLY player you have decided that for is the one player that EVERY single manager that worked with him has picked, why do you think that is exactly?! I've only jumped down throats because this is boring and also complete fantasy! It's fine if people had just said he doesn't deserve to be picked, hell most weeks I might have even agreed but you (and others) didn't JUST say that did you. No, instead you had to come up with some genuinely ridiculous conspiracy that justified your (frankly bizarre) dislike for the guy because he couldn't be picked on meret right because then you'd be wrong and EVERY SINGLE MANAGER that's worked with him would be right?!
Sorry but celebrating an injury tonight was the final straw, you don't have to rate him but at least pretend to judge him on his meret eh?! And no that doesn't mean assuming that his selection is the result of a 'partnership' which is SO financially insignificant that it doesn't even register in our top ten deals (I checked btw, I'm guessing you didn't)?!
It's not personal at you Good, as you've seen previously I've agreed with other of your posts.

But I'm just sick of it, our entire club has been a complete bloody shambles all season yet week on week are you (or others) having ago at the manager, the owners, hell even the other 10 useless players on the pitch?! No, no your not, instead you are focusing all your vitriol on one guy, simply for the crime of being picked and not shying away from the job when MANY others have! It's just got FAR too personal for me and I'm done with it, either support the guy or don't that's fine but don't turn him into the villain of this story because it's not right, it's not fair and like I said before (frankly) it's a little gross! You've even said it in your last line 'there's a reason we are bottom' and I hate to break it to you buddy but it ain't Hwang, it's 5 years of neglect and negligence! Blaming the guy that happens to still be here when the music stopped is just ludicrous!

11 Feb 2026 06:13:59
OK BullysBoy, you just continue to believe whatever it is you believe. I don't need to justify myself to you.

Bottom line in that Hwang is paid a Kings ransom, and week after week, he continues to disappoint. Yes, others have been bad too but Hwang is easily the worst hence why most fans are feeling the same way.

11 Feb 2026 06:16:39
For those interested in Hwang, his stats so far this season:
Successful passes: 76.3%
Accurate long balls: 61.1%
Successful crosses:17.6%
Successful dribbles: 36.4%
Duels won: 38.5%
Aerial duels won: 38.5%
Source: FOTMOB, taken from Premiership official figures

11 Feb 2026 07:04:23
Hwang isn't easily the worst, Good. He is admittedly poor but we've got a whole squad of players that are of similar low merit, starting with possibly the worst Premier league defence I've ever seen. That's why we're in the position we're in and Bully's right about the years of neglect.


By the way, where exactly do these "loads" of Korean fans sit and roughly how many does loads mean? I go to every game and used to see a few (a dozen or so) but that's definitely tailed off this season.

11 Feb 2026 07:14:05
If I may clarify 2 things, I was not suggest YOU personally see how we're fare without Hwang tonight Bully's, I was genuinely posing the option of us being able to see how much better we might be.
In no manner am I celebrating his injury and in no way am I suggesting anything in relation to a players ethnicity., in fact I'm now looking for how the S Korean have fared in their games, the same as I do Spain portugul Uruguay Colombia and Brazil etc any wolf anywhere.

I merely found it strange the Hwang was being chosen despite, imo, some dire performances also having mentioned that others obviously see something in him or he has appearance clauses in his contract. Others have had that, I believe, nothing to do with sponsorship directly to the club.

There's no doubt Hwang has a big fan base and he's a nice decent guy willing to meet and oblige them from what I've seen.

Finally I think it'd be true to say every year, every team will have scape goats and we'll all see them differently, Sa or Johnstone, Toti or Santi, larsen got his fair share after the Newcastle transfer episode etc.
Truth is we've been awful and we scratch around to look for blame, it's not personal it's something that makes football 'football' to us fans.

Rugeley, go to ask, what percent of what?
I cross out of 2 - 50%. etc, because it looks like 60-70% of his attempts don't come off, and maybe that's where a lot if frustrations come from.

11 Feb 2026 07:36:29
Old Wulf, I'm in the North Bank and there were about 30 in total on the concourse before the match. My mate was in the Graham Hughes stand and says there were similar numbers there too. Maybe not 'loads' in the grand scheme of things but certainly more than a few years ago.

11 Feb 2026 07:46:59
As I said earlier in this thread, if you go on the BBC site and look at the player rating for every match played this season, you will see that of the starting 11, Hwang is usually in the bottom 3 ratings wise.

11 Feb 2026 12:37:00
BB2.i feel it necessary to make this post about you on here.
its very noticeable over the years of your posting on here, thst sadly you often take a very sanctimonious tone and phraseology.
You tend to talk down often to other posters, and attack them on a too personal and rude basis.
You've excelled yourself in that on the Hwang issue.

And none of us, not even you, know the actual finances around the Korean company taked about.
Yes its banter rumour and discussion site and we all have our own views.
Can you please take a more friendly and conciliatory tone, even if you don't agree with folk.

11 Feb 2026 13:37:42
I'm sorry you feel that way Rollo but as I've been pretty clear with MANY times previously I'm only rude when I'm meeting like with like. Personnaly I find it pretty repugnant to celebrate one of our own players getting injured, if you think that's OK then fine but I don't! Equally if you don't like my posts simply don't read them.

And I don't need to know the financial details around the Korean company (although I have clearly researched them more than those using them as an example mind) because this is the REAL world and therefore a club the size of ours simply wouldn't have a big enough player to warrant the manager having to pick them, it's just not logical! 🤣
What exactly have I said above that's personal to anyone? I'm intrigued to know because there is nothing personal written on here, in fact I don't even know the names of the people I'm speaking to so not sure what I've said that is 'personal' please clarify?
In fact the ONLY personal post is yours, ya know where you call me sanctimounous, other than that I can't see anyone else calling people names like we are on a play ground can you? Maybe take look in the mirror fella, cause I think everything you've said there could just as easily be said about your own posts, difference is that I didn't say it did I?
No, in fact I've even said it's not personal and more of a general issue around the vile treatment our fans have given one of our own players! So yeah sometimes I am rude on here but generally only after that tones been set, if posters don't like it maybe they shouldn't set that tone? Or just don't read my posts either way I'm not especially worried about anything I've written on here buddy, hope that helps? 😁

11 Feb 2026 14:42:08
Looks like people have different views about everything regarding our club. A good debate about Hwang. A few crossed wires and misunderstanding but you did blatantly call me a liar so Rollo does have a point. But let bygones be bygones until the next subject not all of us agree on. That's the point of a banter site.

11 Feb 2026 15:42:57
Fair dos Good fella, I don't disagree with ya there. For the record I didn't call you a liar, I simply pointed out that your owns words were conflicting with a previous post (which they clearly were).


Either way, I genuinely appreciate that you've posted on that and could not agree more that it is the entire point of this site and that bygones be bygones, until the next debate buddy👍

10 Feb 2026 10:05:57
Hilarious comment from a West Ham fan on Saturday after they won. On BBC HYS:

'My MOTM was Max Kilman, for staying on the bench the whole game'.

10 Feb 2026 11:28:33
It’s fair to say that Wolves had West Ham’s knickers down with the Kilman sale. He was a young left-footed English CB, with PL experience, and for the lower teams fishing in a different pond that means £££££ - and more often than not wasted £££££. Look at Liverpool pulling Wolves’ knickers down over Hoever. £12 million!

Kilman occasionally looked decent for Wolves in a back five, but 40 fecking million! I’ve seen canal boats move and turn more quickly that Kilman.

10 Feb 2026 15:56:31
The crazy thing was JL signed him who had worked and trained with him at Wolves. So whereas another coach may not have known everything - he would or should have done.

We've sold some players too cheaply, but how much Wolves got for Kilman, Nunes and now JSL is at least some comfort.

{Ed's Note - Madman has posted a new article entitled, Wolves Need a Plan, Not Another Reset

10 Feb 2026 10:21:44
Good post Madman but Fosun had a plan, keep Wolves in the Premier League, bottom half being fine, whilst of course constantly selling off our best to balance the books. A plan borne of ignorance on their part and arrogance on Jeff Shi's part.

Either way the die is now cast and our fate all but secured but you're quite right we now need a new plan. Everything from squad depth, tactics and playing style to the facilities rebuild. Until I see a halt to our better players being sold off every Summer or Winter, as it happens and movement on the latter I'll remain sceptical.

For what it's worth, I see the appointment of RE as an admission of failure and a total surrender of any final dregs of ambition. Some people like him and that's fine but it's results that matter and so far, it's not happening is it. So over to your Nathan let's see what you've got.

10 Feb 2026 12:40:00
Good post Madman.

I do wonder why any professional club would need incentives for any player if they are indeed professional players 🤷🏼‍♂️ OK then, how about performance pay? Win - you get paid! 😂

I also don’t see any reason why we should bring back old, slow players. Certainly not for a dog fight in the Championship. I know experience is required but so is pace and determination.

What we need is a quick thinking, agile Goalie, big scary monsters in Defence, pinpoint accurate Midfielders (who steal balls) speedy, accurate Wingers and slippery, venomous Strikers 🤣🤣🤣

10 Feb 2026 19:54:24
Cheers Ed. :)
The football landscape has changed dramatically since we got promoted BosWolf and Long.
But I think its more a a cultural change across the western world tbh.
Everything is about money and success but we should have also nurtured Fabio Silva and many other players a little more.


To think we had Goncalves, Trincao and Vitinha in our squad is a mad one and you look at our forward options at the moment.

09 Feb 2026 21:13:27
Wolves to beat forest 2 v 1 and relegate forest same as we got them promotion in1976/77 when we beat Bolton last game of season and dyche sacked as a result any takers

09 Feb 2026 21:25:58
I expect the usual MGW show where he’ll bang one in and do that wretched fingers in ears celebration.

Following Sheff Utd vs Middlesbrough and it’s depressing seeing Boro seemingly improving post Edwards, and Hoever being so sh1t he can’t get in the Utd team - though he could get in the Wolves team. What a sorry state Wolves have become.

10 Feb 2026 10:34:28
Thought exactly the same of the utd Borough game NaN, and I expect we'll have to go the MGW routine again tomorrow .
I'm really hopeful that we can turn up tomorrow and put in a shift, although it must be a near impossibility for RE to get any level of disciplined enthusiasm out of the squad now.

Every game is watched in resigned curiosity by me now, still wishing and hoping of course, but not overly excited

10 Feb 2026 13:09:02
God I would love to see us beat Forest but I just can't see it right now. Our squad is possibly one of the worst this league has ever seen and I'm not convinced Edwards is making it much better either to be honest. Time will tell but we look light years off being a Prem quality outfit right now! 😭

10 Feb 2026 14:01:47
No confidence they will win any game, have a bad feeling about Forest game. Wouldn't be at all surprised at 3 or 4 - 0 Forest. Can't defend and can't score so bleak times. Most teams like West Ham etc. strengthens in transfer window, we actually weakened ours.

On a lighter note, what’s happening with the Steve Bull stand refurbishment? Jeffrey Shi was about to get it all signed off in December 2025.

The stadium would have had a full rebuild, with the ability to stage rock concerts and the 2024 Champions League final, but Wolverhampton Council were refusing to assist Jeff with his vision.

Seriously though, is the Steve Bull getting a rebuild? It’s nice that the city of Wolverhampton has a football stand mentioned in the Domesday Book, but it desperately needs a complete rebuild.

Probably more of Jeff Shi bulls**t

My understanding was anything that happened would be an internal refit. It really needs bulldozing and completely rebuilding. The proposition was a half a job as a gesture to show something would happen, but it wouldn't actually achieve what we all know is needed.

Good grief, the Steve Bull getting an internal refit. Is that the best idea when the stand is older than Methuselah and one corner of the North bank basically encroaches on it?

Refurbishing the Steve Bull is like diving down to the Titanic with a duster, tin of Pledge and some Sellotape.

The Steve Bull Stand needs bulldozing. While we're at it, we need a bulldozing centre forward like, err, Steve Bull. Would wreak havoc in the Championship. Sometimes a cloud can have a silver lining. We should take the the opportunity next season to rebuild the stadium as well as the squad. Let the JCBs roll.

Being in the Championship would give Fosun the perfect opportunity to sort out the Molineux. A refurbished/rebuilt Molineux would bring great joy to Wolves fans, and it would be of great benefit to the City of Wolverhampton. Alas, greedy corporations have no interest in people, and Fosun has no interest in Wolverhampton.

The only way it would happen next season is if Fosun fund it rather than the club which unfortunately I can't see them doing.

It would be the right time though to bulldoze the Steve Bull and dismantle the embarrassment that's the Graham Hughes stand and redo the Steve Bull to join up with the North bank.

I'd imagine that planning permission etc is still an issue, but it would be good to see at least some concrete evidence of progress with the ground.

They would probably rename it ‘The Golden Temple’ and rebuild it in the shape of an actual temple. There will be an official ‘takeaway’ exit door for all good players of any worth! 😂
