Surely even Shi 2 and Fosun can see the style of play Rob is using is terrible, regardless of players or if they have now downed tools.
Vast majority of fans think we need a replacement in Asap.
If they don’t act it is even more evidence that Fosun do not care and we are in free fall, League 1 here we come.
So very sad what bad owners can do.

I'd love Fosun to come out and admit that the last 6 years have seen us go backwards, and that they are going to put it right by backing the manager financially and ensuring that relegation was a blip which will be corrected immediately.
Then, and only then, will I get back behind the owners like I did when they first took over. But this is Fosun we're talking about, and they simply won't care about me or any other fan. All they chase is the £££'s.

So, GoodYou, would you be happy for them to back this manager/head coach after the performances we have witnessed? Do you think he is the right man to go and make signings after his first two efforts in the January window? I would like to think we could do a lot better than them with a better man in charge.

In an ideal world, I'd like to see a more progressive manager come in. Someone like Mousinho from Portsmouth, who clearly likes to play good football, but is also clearly hampered by financial restraint.
At the moment, all of us fans think Rob Edwards is out of his depth, but we all know that Fosun are the main issue.
What I'm saying is, if Fosun do decide to splash the cash and Edwards is their chosen man, then, as long as the owners show ambition, I'll be happier and more willing to give Rob a chance, knowing that he has been given every opportunity to do things his way.
But if he is still failing after, say, 10 games next season, he needs to go.
But, as I originally said, Fosun are unlikely to change tack, so we are stuck in this soulless rut of unambitious owners and a negative manager.

That's what we need to know Good, why can't Fosun & Shi II come out, say what they intend to achieve and what resources will be allocated? What and when we will see developments regarding the mol.?
As always we the paying, loyal and long suffering fans are left to speculate, wondering if we can believe Fosun at all in anything they say.
After all they gave us their intent, almost took us there with Nuno et Al, the bulked, sold, unsettled the squad, lost a manager who had been doing a wonderful job and the rest of our demise we know.
I'll not be accepting of Covid as an excuse either. Every club had pressures to surmount, granted finances may have been difficult, but I don't think it was, perhaps, as bad as was being touted.
Truth is Fosun are not interested in the football aspects of our club, they don't get the uplift a successful club can give to the city.
They don't care about Wolverhampton, they don't care about Wolverhampton wanderers.
It's income from the 'wolves' name.
So Mr Shi, can you address us fans with truly honest, clear proposals and reassurance towards the upcoming season and developments with an expected timescale?

Well said Abbeywolf, some sort of statement from Shi 2 is required. Doubt that we will get one, unfortunately.

06 May 2026 12:40:59
Shi 1 & Shi 2 are equally bad. They've just missed the 't' from the end of their surname!

Let's see what comes from the Q&A's next week.
05 May 2026 09:31:58
Should West Ham be relegated, who would be happy to see Nuno back?
All hypothetical, I realise. West Ham, if relegated, may keep him. Would Nuno return, etc.

Not a chance while Fosun are here mate.

It's now so toxic under Fosun, it doesn't matter who the gaffer is. Bring Nuno or Thomas Frank in, then see what happens when Wolves lose five games in a row.
Villa fans are online, hammering their gaffer for losing to the Spuds. It's bloody bonkers. He's probably their best manager since prime Martin O'Neill. Not so long ago, Villa fans were calling for him to be sacked!!!
I don't see how there is now any way back for Fosun.
It doesn't matter who the gaffer is. Imagine Fosun in charge next season with 'insert name' as the gaffer and Wolves get beat by the Baggies at the Molineux. Imagine the same scenario with Rob Edwards as gaffer, a team filled with cheap signings, and Wolves get mullered by the Baggies at the Molineux. The Wolves fans' vitriol will make World War II look like a vicar's tea party.

Load of b******* about Edwards and s*** supposed to be having a talk today. Anybody heard anything?

05 May 2026 13:53:51
Probably discussing the summer transfer budget. Namely, how many players on free transfers can we attract, as well as how many over-the-hill players does Rob Edwards see as part of the long-term project.

05 May 2026 14:45:04
As good has said, Nathan Shi's and Edwards's meeting is probably about how Wolves can punch their way out of the Championship with free transfers, pensioners, and £20 million donkeys.
So glad the Wolves fans hounded Steve Morgan out of the club. Morgan and Moxey were a bloody dream compared to the s__theads currently running the club into the ground. At least M&M had the club at the front of their thoughts. Fosun couldn't give a stuff about Wolves other than needing the badge for Jeff's Call of Duty team.

05 May 2026 15:43:47
Or they're drafting the letter to fans, when the transfer window closes, saying that they tried their best to get the players in, but being in the Championship just wasn't appealing to them. However, the manager is happy with using the returning loan players and the youth players.

Apparently fosun have been spotted at Dudley zoo they are conducting interviews with some chimpanzees to take over from rob Edwards

I can't wait to hear Rob Edwards stating how Tommy Doyle, despite him struggling to get in the Brum team and being 25 years old, is the greatest player he's ever seen, and having him in the Wolves team is joyous in the extreme.

First The Points.
Forest are loving life with Vitor.

04 May 2026 20:42:24
Let's see how he does next season.
2
04 May 2026 21:09:39
I'll give it about a 75% chance he won't go more than 22 more matches at Forest. 12 clubs in 15 years, and only at 3 of them has he managed more matches in charge than the 38 that WWFC were generous/naive enough to allow.
2
05 May 2026 07:25:19
Let's see if he spends his transfer budget as wisely as he did at Wolves!

05 May 2026 09:14:01
Since Fosun have owned Wolves, we have had 9 different managers/head coaches.
In the same timeframe, Vitor Perreira has managed 9 different clubs.
2
05 May 2026 11:15:44
Yes, Fosun have been pretty poor in some regards when choosing managers. However, in fairness to Vitor, he did manage to outlast the hapless Walter Zenga, who managed about 17 games in charge.

In a way, VP and Jeff Shi were made for each other, the perfect storm. VP presumably acquiesced in the most disastrous transfer window in Fosun's reign last summer. Jeff declared himself very satisfied; didn't get every target, but got 90%. That transfer window left us mortally wounded as a club.
What the hell was VP doing, letting that happen? Lopetegui at least walked when he saw the writing on the wall. The wall and the writing were a whole lot bigger last summer, but VP did nothing. Maybe he knew, but was just being cynical in waiting for the inevitable sack and payoff.

05 May 2026 11:52:19
I think you've pretty much nailed it in that last sentence there, Deep. Cause, do you remember how, at the time when he signed, it was right at the end of the window and we still hadn't won, leading many of us to question why give him a new contract before the first win of the season?! Well, in hindsight, I suspect VP knew exactly what he was doing, having just had a front row seat for the entire circus that was our transfer window.
Peeps can say what they want about the signings, but not a single one of them was VP's first choice; in fact, many of them (both full backs) weren't even in his top three picks! VP saw what a complete mess the squad was in, and ensured, under such circumstances, that he got a decent payday. I don't especially blame him. It's on the club to manage such situations, and good old Jeff was asleep at the wheel, as usual! 😭

05 May 2026 15:01:05
Bully, if VP signed the new contract knowing what a complete mess the club was in, it doesn't say much for his professional standards nor for the numbskull who offered it. VP was obviously looking after Number One when he signed. First the pounds, then the escape route?
04 May 2026 16:12:28
History is made. Wolves Women reach professional status for the first time.
Congratulations to our Womens team.

Good match, although Plymouth put them through the mill a bit in the first half. All they need now is for Fosun to step up. I don't know if they are fully professional at the moment, but they will have to be next season. They will definitely need a few more players as well. Really chuffed for them. Come on Fosun, do your job!

Well, it's 0-0. It was like watching Man City (Plymouth) playing against Bilston FC (Wolves). If Wolves do not play better second half, they will not get promoted.

Many congratulations to Wolves Women on their promotion. They now have to turn professional. Interesting. Fosun won't back the men financially, so what lies ahead for the women???

04 May 2026 20:48:44
For the foreseeable, avoiding relegation from WSL2 will be the only priority. I remember a couple of years ago watching FC Barcelona Femeni vs Real Madrid Femenino, and the standard was jaw dropping. Remembering that game, I wouldn't dare say anything disparaging about women's football.
04 May 2026 12:34:28
Is there Any way fans/supporters/certain board members can convince (or even force) the owners to quit and sell the football club? Has it ever been done?
Surely if it’s clear that there’s no intended investment (ie in ground & facilities and that we are only being used as a ‘shop window’ for other clubs/players) something could be done?
2
04 May 2026 13:38:54
The only 2 instances I can think of are Reading FC and Sheff Weds. Both sets of fans repeatedly protested about the owners, and both are now in financial turmoil, but are under new ownership.
2
05 May 2026 12:56:32
Thanks, Good. In that case would we gain anything?
04 May 2026 09:06:32
Just seen news that Jeff Shi has been visiting Compton lately. Looks like he still has an influence.
Have to feel a little sorry for everyone that has to work with these people, don’t get me wrong Rob has not been good enough.
Is Shi 2 really in charge or is he under instructions from Jeff?

Probably come to tell RE what a wonderful job he is doing, or someone has seen his double from the local takeaway.
