James Fielden reckons there's a very interested party currently in discussions. It's tucked away amongst his Tweets.

Well spotted 'Glenn.!
25 Apr 2016 15:02:05
Done deal it's Bob Laslett with Indian backers. Will be announced end of season, just dotting i's and crossing t's so expect Moxey to stay.
25 Apr 2016 15:15:01
If it's true and they bin Moneyshop sponsorship it can't be bad. If they keep Moneyshop sponsorship, makes no difference, still as bad.
25 Apr 2016 15:15:06
Yeh but I know JACKETTS goin! 👍👍👍.
25 Apr 2016 15:42:30
I hope jackett is going don't think bob laslett will buy wolves.
25 Apr 2016 16:24:03
Banbury wolf.
When Bob Laslett stepped down as chairman of Margate he said he wanted to hand the baton to someone younger. Why would he change his mind now and take up a position at Wolves that he clearly thinks he is too old for?

There must have been loads of preparation in the Moneyshop sponsorship announcement at WWFC, it's a massive thing that's extremely contentious, but we didn't hear a squeak about it, no one heard a whisper until the day the club announced it.
The club clearly control info very tightly, I'd bet we won't know anything real about a new owner until it's announced by the club, rumours claiming to be in the know about a new owner are highly unlikely. All we can do is deduce stuff from circumstance, and think at moment Moneyshop / Lone-Star as buyers still makes most sense.
Considering Moneyshop are poncing off our rep as a family club, our almost unique reputation for financial prudence, the damage it will do to fan relationship, the crash it will cause in merchandising and shirt sales, the way it will put off other sponsors, the way it makes us less saleable - that sponsorship has a right be worth many millions to Wolves, maybe £20m over the 3 yrs, paid up front.
So we should have a warchest now, courtesy of Moneyshop. If that kind of money doesn't show in WWFC's spending this Summer, then maybe Morgan is just looking to recoup his £30million by asset stripping our brand and selling it to sponsors?
25 Apr 2016 17:34:18
20 million to sponsor us for 3 years sponsorship?! Never heard such nonsense, they could have bought us for that!
25 Apr 2016 19:21:32
If someone does buy us, be it Bob Laslett, John Grayken, or even Jack the Ripper, one thing is for sure, there will be a complete news blackout at Wolves. You could torture Moxey but he wouldn't talk.
Mind you, I'd like to torture Moxey, just cut off the pie supply!
25 Apr 2016 19:45:29
Tea-time - it's on assumption Moneyshop owner would be buying us too (maybe for further £30m or whatever) , and sponsorship was to get big amount of his investment into club, but as sponsor, not owner, to get around FFP. It's about the amount of money the FA would accept is market value for sponsorship and not falsely inflated. Moneyshop could potentially be used as excuse for £20m for FFP, because they are so sub-prime (undesirable) . Leicester are claiming £10m sponsorship for last year they were in Chump, but FA not swallowing it because their sponsor was prime, not sub-prime sponsor like Moneyshop.
And re Deep Throat, the danger would be if we took away Moxey's pies, he'd just eat us instead. Or the team. Maybe this is what's really happened to Byrne?
25 Apr 2016 20:41:44
I only post what I know, wait and see its correct Laslett is the man.
25 Apr 2016 21:55:21
I hope so as I like Laslett, true Wolves, but right now I'm more bothered about Moneyshop. If Moneyshop aren't throwing many millions at us, I'd hope Laslett / new owner would bin them, but looks like Morgan might anyway.
Rumours Morgan angry about Moneyshop (it's claimed he agreed it without thinking as he isn't taking much interest, Moxey assured him there'd be no trouble over it, but now loads of trouble and Morgan worried about harm being done to his Community work and legacy) . It's claimed there's angry phone calls going on with Morgan, Moxey, and Moneyshop. Also claimed Matt Grayson (WWFC PR) is fire fighting angry corporates / Director Boxes and other sponsors, it's totally kicked off.
I'm hoping for a Moneyshop and Moxey double dismissal, would be better than winning FA Cup :-P
I think if Moneyshop is binned and Moxey goes, we should have a bus parade.
25 Apr 2016 22:29:00
ULF where do you get all this info from would be amazing if true but I can't see any contract being broken without wolves paying for it!
26 Apr 2016 00:11:48
It's all over the comments on todays E&S article about anti Money Shop petition going over 10k signed. (I related pretty much everything it said in my post) .
Morgan is a very proud man, and he has a temper, I'm hoping the E&S comments are true, Moxey his pet hippo has been waggling his tail and has covered him in $$$$, he's going to sack him :-P.
26 Apr 2016 12:23:33
Had to laugh at Jacketts comments him saying he is to blame for bad results, does he think we wolves fans are thick, the sooner he as gone the better what a complete numpty, how he as survived with the pathetic, awful football he as played is beyond me who in there right mind wants to keep watching that football.
The tea lady could pick a better team than him, even the pie man and that's saying something.
If I owned the club and didn't want to spend any money like Mr. Morgan, I would pick the side myself than have Jackett he as lost the plot, and I would definitely go with 2 strikers at home win or lose get some entertainment back at the molineux instead of these 0-0 draws at home he is pathetic, sooner he as gone the better, he picks the side.
26 Apr 2016 14:34:59
if he's on a season long rolling contract he's probably just running this one down so we don't have to pay compensation to Jacket. I know there's only a few weeks left of the season but he may have a clause where he his compensated with a certain sum. You how tight Jez is.
26 Apr 2016 16:18:41
I believe a year long rolling contract means he always has a year on his contract. Wolves would have to pay him for a year regardless of when they happen to sack him. There isn't a situation where his contract runs out per se. It could be reviewed every year but if one party wanted to cancel then compensation would probably have to be paid. I think that is how it works.

Cheers Clivewolves.
26 Apr 2016 16:31:46
Let's face it James De wolf could you stand that football he plays every week, it's utter negative rubbish football with absolutely no creativity whatsoever and I hate to say I told you so, but due to not getting those 3 players plus Sako's replacement to push on for promotion to the premier league which we all thought would happen, we are doing what I said we would do and sell all these good young players coming through and all the money will go to line Morgans pocket.
Let's hope we have a new owner or owners for next year to invest or MR. MORGAN realises is mistake and invests some of is vast amount of money to get we back on course but he must move Jackett out he as showed is limitation this year with some dire football, seen better football in the Sunday works league.
26 Apr 2016 16:58:52
Bigwolf I totally agree. We should have got Zyro (and others) when Sako left. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure we could of had him earlier but managed to save a few quid by signing in Jan. Then players like Afobe could see we had some ambition and our intention was to make a good push for promotion. It's all a joke.
