Some of you are in cloud cuckoo land with the names being thrown around.

Excuse my ignorance. Which names have been mentioned?

06 May 2026 16:09:28
Don't you think we're going to get Pochettino with Thomas Frank as his assistant? Totally realistic. Granit Xhaka as the skipper.

Dan Ashworth or similar as CEO on £5 million per year.
I remember Jez Moxey raking in £1 million per year, and that was years ago. At least, Jeff 'CoD' Shi was only taking £700,000 per year.
He was probably also raking it in from Fosun Sports, but a club like Wolves cannot spend fortunes on CEOs when they probably spend most of their time doing SFA.

Fosun couldn't afford his chewing gum budget.
06 May 2026 13:05:18
Our 'Chinese takeaway' type of ownership (pun intended) just hasn't worked. What does Fosun know about English football, let alone Wolverhampton? If Fosun really and truly can't or won't sell us, then put in place independent expert management with strong connections to Wolves and Wolverhampton, and back them.
Give them the power to hire and fire at all levels, including head coach level, in other words absolute authority. Maybe someone like Robbie Keane could be chairman or CEO, replacing the Shi's of this world. Then maybe we could compete with the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton for starters.

Y would Robbie Keane want a CEO job tho? He's a manager at present, and not even as experienced as RE was when we got him. I think we should go for a more experienced manager with knowledge of the English game. I ain't got a clue who, though.

Roy Hodgson?

A CEO with a sport background, but primarily business qualified, and an experienced football director who can build a team to scout and attract hidden quality are the two critical management positions that have been an issue since Kevin Thelwell and Laurie Dalrymple left.

06 May 2026 14:38:42
Daniel Levy, Peter Kenyon and Christian Purslow all spring to mind. Let them run the club, but have a football man overseeing the playing side, maybe try and entice someone like Dougie Freedman back into English football.

As much as it pains me to say it, Nathan Shi has to be given a chance to make the right changes at Wolves.
A lot of Wolves' troubles stem from Jeff Shi. Fosun basically gave him absolute power at Wolves, and he was running the club into oblivion. Had Jeff stayed as Wolves' CEO, there is no doubt that the club would have ended up in League One. Look at the mess he has left behind.
Fosun is based on the other side of the world, and Wolves is a small part of their business, so was given way too much power. Being polite, the guy knows f*** all about running a successful football club.
Nathan Shi wants to make things right at Wolves, and Fosun seemingly has no intention of selling the club. The Wolves fans, through gritted teeth, will have to be patient.
5
06 May 2026 15:43:27
I think, as most others will agree, we've been patient enough!
Fosun's idea of 'investment' is use the club to make money for our investors.
Good news for Nathan is that we are not a 'successful football club'.
3
06 May 2026 16:15:56
You're talking about Wolves under Jeff Shi. Fosun and Nathan Shi have to be given a chance to make things right. If they don't, then the Molineux will have 16,000 fans at every home game and the club shop will be turning over £97.00 a week.
I don't want Fosun at Wolves, but I also don't want muppets similar to those running Chelsea.

07 May 2026 10:12:42
Nathan Shi was at the club before the end of the last window. The same window where we intentionally waited till after it shut to sell Agbadou so that the club couldn't replace him. Yet again, this move sold the manager completely down the river! Sorry, but Shi 2, much like Shi 1, will simply be a fall guy for Fosun's continued complete lack of care and ambition when it comes to our club! Until that changes, the role in question is just a mouth piece for a want away ownership group.
🤬

08 May 2026 09:55:39
I for one want to hear what Shi/Jackson & Re have to say at the fans forum on WM this Tuesday. I believe telling questions will be asked of the 3.
Until then, you can speculate all you like, but we may at least be clearer on the way forward to next season.
Oh, and to the fan who said hire Daniel Levy (really??) he still has a part ownership of Spurs, so thank God, he can't come near a second UK club.
05 May 2026 16:06:35
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.
8
05 May 2026 17:33:52
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.
5
05 May 2026 18:29:01
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.
3
05 May 2026 19:47:38
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.

06 May 2026 08:48:10
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?
2
06 May 2026 09:34:07
Well said Abbeywolf, some sort of statement from Shi 2 is required. Doubt that we will get one, unfortunately.
2
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.

05 May 2026 10:02:42
Not a chance while Fosun are here mate.

05 May 2026 12:01:43
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?
4
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.
6
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.
6
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.

05 May 2026 16:51:11
Apparently fosun have been spotted at Dudley zoo they are conducting interviews with some chimpanzees to take over from rob Edwards

05 May 2026 17:15:10
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.
04 May 2026 19:55:06
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!
2
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.

05 May 2026 11:23:39
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.
5
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! 😭
8
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!
