Wolves rumours 2

11 Nov 2025 13:53:39
Interesting article I read today, apparently the club have no plans to spend heavily in January and will rely on loans to get players in
If true this points once again that fosun are looking to get out, now I know all the Jeff shi fans and fosun defenders will say “ why would they risk us going down and see our value lose 2/300 million overnight” well they paid 30 million for us, they haven’t invested in the ground, academy ( which is about to lose elite status rating) the women’s team, why? As there’s no return for them, yes they have spent on players but they get a return on them sometimes a really good aka kilman, Neto, jota etc
Make no mistake folks this whole mess stinks to high heaven

11 Nov 2025 15:28:11
Makes sense as well because they probably realize now that we are going down and spending lots in January would be to much of a gamble for them. To be honest I don't think they could attract good enough players even if they was willing to spend a lot.

Loaning players make more sense as the players themselves know they aren't going to be there long and they will be playing. Fosun will see it as something that isn't costing them much and its a safer gamble if there is any very small chance of survival.

11 Nov 2025 15:38:20
I hope you're right. The club has been run into the ground. The sooner this lot are out the better.

11 Nov 2025 15:53:37
Fosun only wanted the badge for their esports side of things.

11 Nov 2025 19:12:04
Loans make sense. We would really struggle to attract top targets. Enough good quality players not getting game time at parent club. Given the size of top Premier League academies there are plenty of young players with aspirations of making their country’s World Cup squads who need minutes.

If the focus is young English players then loans from top clubs and perhaps some Championship clubs not challenging for promotion is a possibility.

12 Nov 2025 12:10:30
Looks like we will be scrambling for crumbs from the rich man's table in January! This could work out for us. Any PL team not expected to be in a relegation battle could have quality players needing minutes. Not that I'd want him, but Raheem Sterling is being paid a fortune by Chelsea and he's not even in the squad, for example.

The wastage is enormous. We should review every player we have out on loan who could be recalled in January. A herculean effort will be needed to save us but I believe we will survive. Regardless of where we are next season, Jeff must go and preferably Fosun too.

12 Nov 2025 19:53:39
Some interesting thoughts in this thread. Players of Raheem Sterling standard would I imagine be payed wages to high for most clubs, even for a loan move.

If we do go down we will clearly need to reduce the wage bill quickly so I also suspect Gomes and one or two others will be released for the usual lower fees that we've come to expect. After this shambles I frankly can't see the more marketable assets staying even if we survive.

Taking any championship young players would probably be with a view to signing them for a promotion push next season as I can't see most championship clubs loaning young assets, they will surely want to sell.

They've rolled the dice. What happens next is anyone's guess.

Wolves in talks with Lescott to become Edwards no 2 has experience as a coach with England.

10 Nov 2025 17:07:21
Lescott has done nothing to warrant the position

10 Nov 2025 18:37:12
Looks like he's currently playing in a six a side league QS, going off the players we have if we do sign him might be worth making him a player/coach! 😂

10 Nov 2025 21:54:31
If the back room staff are just going to be our old players that's just sentiment and not common sense. We are in enough trouble without having inexperienced coaches. Perhaps just preparing for Championship next season. Get the white flag out Jeff!

10 Nov 2025 22:45:41
Lescott has been a coach since 2021 so is qualified.

I'd bring in another ex player in Mike Stowell too.

11 Nov 2025 10:11:24
Lescott had an exceptional playing career, including over 200 appearances for Wolves. 4 years coaching experience with England Under 21s and also the full England squad. He must know a thing or two about the game. If he's prepared to put his reputation on the line by joining Wolves, we may be onto a good thing.

11 Nov 2025 12:27:22
Its all to keep the fans on side.
We should be showing more ambition.
Nothing against Edwards or Lescott but they don't scream a path to a brighter future.
Why have Fosun gone quiet time to start explaining what's happened?
And can Shi please step away from football affairs this is a minimum but I would move him on.

11 Nov 2025 13:51:42
Whilst I agree about Fosun and Shi (silent t) going I’m fully behind Edwards and Lescott.
After all, beggars can’t be choosers.

11 Nov 2025 15:28:58
According to reports this is unlikely to happen at the moment

11 Nov 2025 15:35:49
Lescott ain't coming anymore.

11 Nov 2025 17:41:55
He’s probably been intimidated by comments from the great ones such as Rooney, Shearer, Neville, the mighty Simon Jordan, etc. etc.
Seems Rob Edwards has the biggest b@lls!

09 Nov 2025 13:37:36
David ornstein saying Edwards will sign three and a half year contract next week with a compensation of 2mill to Middlesbrough.

09 Nov 2025 14:26:05
In place on Monday, just agreeing his coaching team.

09 Nov 2025 14:31:50
Nice package

09 Nov 2025 15:59:03
Hoping this is the one thing Jeff has got right! 🙏🤞🙏🤞🐺⚽️

08 Nov 2025 17:50:19
It's done guys Wolves have agreed deal to appoint Rob Edwards as their new head coach after Vitor Pereira got sacked.

Edwards will leave Boro and sign for Wolves - source Fabrizio Romano

08 Nov 2025 13:14:54
Rob Edwards given permission to speak to Wolves👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

08 Nov 2025 16:42:44
Well it appears that Rob wants the job, he's local, it's his club as a supporter, so I'm sure he fully understands the situation he's taking on. It could go either way, what experience did Nuno have, who had heard of him, similarly Zenga.

One worked the other didn't. The biggest issue I see in the short term is language barriers. Dreaming here but Joao Moutinho as a coach/interpreter!

09 Nov 2025 14:23:46
Its not even a similar comparison.
Nuno had won leagues with Porto and managed in the champions league.

I wish Rob the best of luck.
Revert to a back 5 focus on clean sheets and get the players with pace in the squad. 10 points by January might keep us in touching distance.

Sign Christensen (Loan), Mingueza, Pubill (Loan), Elliott (Loan) and Poku.
Bring Doyle back.

09 Nov 2025 20:05:10
Nuno was fired from Porto after one season after finishing second. He was also fired after one season at Valencia after finishing 4th with questions asked at the time about the size of transfer fees being payed for players who were clients of Jorge Mendes.
In his second season at Rio Ave he took them into the europa league.

Ahh my bad Arddunby getting mixed up with Lage and VP.

11 Nov 2025 17:29:38
Hopefully Rob Edwards can galvanise the players and we'll see an upturn in performances and a more attacking team. If we go down, at least we've got a manager who knows how to get promoted.

08 Nov 2025 10:29:48
Middlesborough have removed Rob Edwards from taking charge of there match today.

08 Nov 2025 11:23:43
Yes I seen this got to be a positive on our part looks like he's on his way to us

08 Nov 2025 12:14:31
All very unsavory.
Listened to Jacqui Oatley on the radio this morning.a Wolves fan and knows exactly where the blame lies. She has asked to interview Shi and he has refused. She also said he will not engage with the E&S either.
Fosun's reluctance to sack him is killing our Club.

08 Nov 2025 12:35:06
Mowbray tipped to replace Rob Edwards. Southgate, Martin and Robbie Keane all mentioned as potential new Boro boss.

08 Nov 2025 13:20:22
Now confirmed. All fans will wish you well Rob.
Though best of luck working with Shi.

08 Nov 2025 13:59:42
What gives ex owners and managers the right to complain about how we conduct our buisness. didn't see anyone moaning when amorim was tapping up cunha in the tunnel at the theatre of dreams. Good luck rob, hope you can turn our season round

08 Nov 2025 14:25:32
Hope I am wrong but I don't think the appointment of Edwards is very ambitious. Perhaps they are resigned to relegation and want a championship coach.

08 Nov 2025 08:42:30
Sky sports news, just accidentally posted a press clip with RE in training top with wolves, sudu background saying I feel at home this is my club, massive ball's up by sky!

08 Nov 2025 08:54:32
Sorry my mistake old clip, still got blurry eyes hangover, just like our season, sorry guys 😞

08 Nov 2025 12:36:42
OOTD that will be corrected in the coming days hopefully - how’s the hangover 😵

08 Nov 2025 04:47:17
Laugh of the day!
Website 'Football Italia' says that Wolves enquired about coaches Motta and Tudor ex of Juventus to be the new coach.
Their previous salaries were 11m+ Euros including staff!
Could you see Jeff Shi paying that?

07 Nov 2025 15:24:34
Rob Edwards now 1/5, seems likely, don’t think bookies are normally this much out. Refreshing to hear we may have 3 academy players on the bench for Chelsea, long overdue young players actually getting into the team. Everyone will get behind Edwards if it does happen.

08 Nov 2025 00:36:13
Is he really the best choice?

08 Nov 2025 08:43:16
To be perfectly honest he may be our only choice.

08 Nov 2025 10:56:09
A manager that got relegated at Luton sacked at Watford just what we need to keep us in the Prem

07 Nov 2025 11:47:22
Boro have cancelled Edwards press conference today after rejecting an approach from Wolves. Do Wolves now go back in with another approach or move on to another target. Surely Wolves have to get someone in next week at the latest to start working with the players who are there.

07 Nov 2025 13:46:51
February 2024: how's this for a reference?

Jurgen Klopp full of praise for the “insane” job Rob Edwards is doing at Luton. He’s not sure he’s seen such footballing development of a team within the season before.

07 Nov 2025 14:04:48
Seems Rob Edwards is keen to have Joleon Lescott and a couple of other ex- players in his back room staff. Sounds great! Would be even better if it included Matt Murray, Lee Naylor and/or Kenny Miller - anyone else you fancy?

07 Nov 2025 15:21:13
Mike Stowell

07 Nov 2025 15:23:18
BoSwolf, I reckon they'd have half a chance of beating the current team!

07 Nov 2025 15:41:55
Conor Coady for his enthusiasm

07 Nov 2025 16:17:24
Carl Ikeme?
I like the names above. Make them Wolves Ambassadors. They could work as unofficial cheerleaders at home matches to buoy up the fans.
Rob Edwards must have Wolves blood in his veins if he is coming here against the general consensus of the usual suspects, the pundits. Former players can strengthen in pack.

07 Nov 2025 16:36:36
Why not.now is the time to bring them in nothkng to lose

07 Nov 2025 21:08:06
Bullys Magic Boots - totally agree! 😂😂😂
