I too had heard the rumours about Ince and Abraham. But I don't believe either. Abraham is worth far more than the £4.5m that people are saying. If he were to leave Chelsea it would be for the Premier. Our only chance there would be a season long loan as he has had at Bristol this year. And Rowett is a big fan of Ince. I just don't see Derby letting him leave especially to a rival.

Finally I have heard that a deal to sell Costa is already complete. I just can't find out where too. My hunch is that it might be back to Monaco where he spent last season on loan. I believe the fee to be in the region of £20m.

Chelsea are not mugs. They know that every now and again one of their academy players will come good. £4.5mil for Abraham? You could not buy him for what we will get for Costa. Abraham might be loaned out again, and we might have a chance of a loan as you say, with a loan fee of £4.5mil.

With Fosun selling Costa (cannot be any doubt) and Costa wanting to go, Fosun might come up with a sugar pill for the fans in the form on a major loan signing, and that could be Abraham.

I agree with bebsta, the team needs a huge overhaul and I would add, a quality boss To manage it - hello Marco Silva! He is that quality boss that can attract quality players. His teams are well organised. Currently, out existing strikers couldn't strike a match between them. We need about 7/ 8 excellent players with at least two that fill the striking position. Time for tough decisions and to move forward. Let's get on with it. Pay the man and get the players. ⚽️👍😉.

I have heard last night that 90% of the summer transfer business is complete. Contracts agreed etc. Costa will be leaving, but the money coming in for him will immediately be spent on another player. I have no names for this i'm sorry. Fosun will back Lambert in the market with a substantial amount, FFP will not be an issue as there will be some new sponsorship deals announced all concerning Fosun based companies. Expect 4/ 5 signings, all well over the amount of £5m, one or two CONSIDERABLY more. This is what I have been told, but, I stress as ever, just rumours I am picking up.

Tom Tit

1.) 19 Apr 2017 10:22:23
Shame about Costa but the other transfer activity sounds very promising👍 Hope your source is correct, Tom Tit 👍.


2.) 19 Apr 2017 12:29:06
What you're saying here possibly ties in with something i posted a few days ago about Thomas Cook sponsoring the stadium.


3.) 19 Apr 2017 14:57:23
Could this be why Costa isn't playing? Don't risk the asset.


4.) 19 Apr 2017 15:16:50
I may yet be proved wrong but I don't believe we will see Costa playing for Wolves again this season as I am convinced that a deal to sell him is agreed and in place. It would not be sensible to risk injuring him and therefore putting such a deal in jeopardy.


5.) 19 Apr 2017 16:08:32
I think your probably right Doncaster Wolf.


6.) 19 Apr 2017 16:15:28
I would worry, Mendes has got a couple of new Lamborghini's lined up for us from the Portuguese league.


7.) 19 Apr 2017 16:54:10
Although I don't want to see Costa leave, if the money us spent buying a like for like replacement and possibly 2 other players who would strengthen out team then so be it. At the moment we have 1 excellent player (Costa) and 3 very good players (Cav, Weimann and Marshall) and 7 decent players whereas if we sell Costa we could have 7 very good players and 4 decent players which makes us stronger.


8.) 19 Apr 2017 18:51:11
I think the above rumours are basically about right. Costa will go, a deal has probably been done. Possibly won't play for us again, why risk it. The money will be reinvested with more on top, on new players, financial rules permitting. Sponsorship will bring in more money. Fosun are deadly serious about our future, no messing around. We will emerge stronger next season, with Lambert fully in charge of the playing side.


9.) 19 Apr 2017 19:06:34
Leeds want Matt Docherty.


10.) 19 Apr 2017 19:14:14
Depends on how ambitious the owners are. For example Will Hughes is available this summer for £15 million and over £30 grand a week. Can't see any Premiership sides coming in for him, so why not? It is vital we get that midfield slot permanently sorted at last.


11.) 19 Apr 2017 22:40:21
Leeds want Matt Doherty? Start the car.

Heard some big gossip last night from within Compton I wanted to share. As I say and continue to iterate its gossip, but the person I heard it from was adamant that it was nailed on info.

Fosun wanted to and came close to sacking Lambert after the Blues game. The older heads on the board talked them out of it after the Solbakken and McCarthy sackings. But another factor is now that Fosun have earmarked one man only as the clubs next manager. That man is Marco Silva. They are prepared to wait to see if Hull stay up but should they be relegated Wolves will pounce with a big money offer to Silva. I was also told that if Hull stay up Fosun's contingency plan could involve Marc Wilmotts. But that info seemed a bit more vague.

Just passing on what I have heard guys. Need to avoid defeat tonight if we can. A point away at Brentford could be a useful one.

Tom Tit

1.) 14 Mar 2017 08:36:21
Omg yes Silva would be amazing. His football is fancy and perfect for our team. Hope hull go down then.


2.) 14 Mar 2017 09:07:22
Marco Silva? But Paul Merson said he was no good. Anybody could win 17 consecutive games of football.

Seriously though, a simple betting strategy is this. Whatever Merson says, bet the opposite.


3.) 14 Mar 2017 09:17:19
Hope for a club to get relegated so we can get their manager, no wonder we're going backwards, need some "winners" and a couple of good coaches to work with Mr Lambert would be a start.


4.) 14 Mar 2017 09:54:28
It won't be Silva.


5.) 14 Mar 2017 10:49:44
Hi Ho Silva Lining! Please 👍😉⚽️.


6.) 14 Mar 2017 11:38:46
Does anyone take any notice of what Merson says? He's an alchie! Good footballer but let himself down with the bottle. Sad as it is.! Whether we get Silva or not time will tell. I for one think he would be a good move and has a very good track record and knows what he wants! ⚽️👍😉.


7.) 14 Mar 2017 12:22:10
I imagine that Lambert has already discovered he isn't getting his contract renewed. Perhaps after his January manager of the month nomination he wanted to get some assurances on his long term future but the conversation didn't go well.
This might explain results in Feb/ March, his and the players lack of confidence.


8.) 14 Mar 2017 12:56:17
Tom Tit,

If I remember rightly, Marco Silva was in the frame for the Wolves job last summer when the first choice, the Spanish coach, changed his mind. Silva has done a fantastic job with Hull. Shame we ended up with the third choice, Zenga, who was a part-timer really, given his residence in Dubai.

Surprisingly (to me anyway) Lambert has done so badly. He probably knows he is on borrowed time now.


9.) 14 Mar 2017 13:35:30
If Lambert thinks he will get sacked he will walk so I very much doubt these rumours are true as I some how think he would know before your friend if that was the case.

The team and manager need our support and WE don't NEED A FOREIGN MANAGER!

Lambert deserves time, I hate his current team selections and tactics but with players like Edwards, Saville, Batth then what do you expect?

Biggest problem at the club is Therwell without a doubt. If anyone is to be sacked it should be him. How someone can perform so poor in recruitment is beyond belief. Why have all our underperforming players been rewarded with new contracts?


10.) 14 Mar 2017 14:31:12
DC. it is unbelievable Thelwell is still with us. He has overseen Squad recruitment and is the prime reason we are in this situation.
4 managers already this season have failed with these players.
Not supporting Lambert, but in any business situation, you clear out from the top first. Complete overhaul of the management structure needed.
Don't change the manager at this stage, it will not help.


11.) 14 Mar 2017 18:05:57
Surely they must have recognized that all he is good for is "one for the future" and that's it.
Thelwell has no idea about senior players at all.


12.) 14 Mar 2017 19:06:35
I never like putting anyone in the frame for the boot but I have to just question how Sporting Director Thelwell's performance is measured. Is he Lambert's boss? If the first team loses or plays rubbish obviously the Head Coach gets grief or sacked but it seems to have no impact on him. If the under 18's results are rubbish the coach gets sacked but no impact on the Sporting Director. Does he have responsibility for appointing managers? Did he appoint Jackett or was it Moxey or both? If so was there any comeback on him when Jackett was sacked? If his job is player recruitment he must have been busy in the summer buying our rreserve goalie cause all the other summer signings were Mendes. The two January signings were Lambert's so what has he been doing for the last six months. Who was it in the January before that who went shopping for a striker and came back with Mason a number ten. Why have we had no recognised left back since Golbourne went 14 months ago. Just curious what our Sporting Director actually does that's all.


13.) 14 Mar 2017 19:47:55
I now one or two people on here wanted Rowett as manager but he's been appointed Derby manager till end of season.


 

 

02 Mar 2017 10:27:41
Why is Andrea Butti back in town? Strange one this.

Tom Tit

1.) 02 Mar 2017 10:42:12
Hopefully Fosun realise they've made a balls up listening to Thellwell and appointing Lambert? Fingers crossed they both get shown the door 👍.


2.) 02 Mar 2017 11:14:45
There's a real problem brewing. Fosun want to make whosale changes this summer, and Paul Lambert wants to play 'the good 'ol boys' forever. I will be amazed if PL lasts longer than 2 more games if he doesn't win one of them. Fosun really won't like him dropping Tex, Saiss and Oniangue in favour for Price, Evans and Savlon.


3.) 02 Mar 2017 11:57:31
Imo he will be sacked if we lose at Readin and rightly so.


4.) 02 Mar 2017 12:04:42
Tried posting about this yesterday, He posted online, with a pic on instagram he was here for a meeting. I really don't think its a coincidence that he was in town at the same time as Jeff tbh.


5.) 02 Mar 2017 17:02:28
Paul if lambert is sacked who would you want to see appointed.


6.) 02 Mar 2017 18:09:17
I'd want Martin O'neil, as long as Fosun were prepared to back him with quality players, if they were lookin just to get us out the league i'd get Sean Dyche from Burnley. The balls in Fosuns court as to how much their willin to pay to achieve success and the level of success their lookin to achieve?


7.) 02 Mar 2017 18:27:24
I want, either Wagner from Huddersfield or Kenny back, I know I hate him but with a strong budget he could bring in some class.


8.) 02 Mar 2017 18:27:56
Not rob Edwards that's for sure, Lambert says we were unlucky against B'ham, what planet is he on, tell the truth Lambert we fans are not idiots, we are awful, Home performances is were the trouble as been and needs sorting, you can start with training on the molineux pitch until we get use to it, sorry to keep on mentioning it all the time but the molineux issue as gone on to long for me.
Losing at molineux most of the time and playing crap football is not the way to get more season tickets and it as a good chance of getting we relegated, these players not turning up week in week out have to be moved on, enough is enough now and big changes behind the scenes by Fosun have to be made and get some reality back to this football club.


9.) 02 Mar 2017 18:31:33
Shi acted like this earlier in the season when he assured Jackett his job was safe, only to sack him a week later. l think Paul Tamworth might be right, and PL will get the sack if they lose against Reading. If not, he will get until the Rotherham game, if he's lucky.


10.) 02 Mar 2017 19:15:52
I see zenga has posted on his instagram I do like him and would of perfered his attackin football cus at the moment we ain't getin goals and defence was shockin think we would be in a better situation if we didn't change one game sticks out the villa game UTW and he loves us.

2.) 01 Mar 2017 13:45:33
Relegation a dead cert - max. 9 points and 44 = down to League One for 2017-18. UK£27million spend for third division football. Fosun will sell if they can.


3.) 01 Mar 2017 14:12:52
You really are a pessimistic Farquar!

Incidentally, I have only ever seen it spelt Farquhar before. Does this indicate that you are totally out of step?


4.) 01 Mar 2017 14:49:00
We won't go down, but we need a massive overhaul at our club! From manager coaches and players, and the word Fosun need to look for is QUALITY! We need a Premier league manager who will bring in his own staff and premier league quality players! It will cost but our owners are in a position to achieve this!


5.) 01 Mar 2017 15:32:13
The crap Lambert came out this morning was unbelievable. What he basically said was that next years squad will consist of the same old core (Batth, Stearman, Saville, Price, Evans, Coady and Edwards etc) and he doesn't want to see new faces coming in. Surely, he is digging his own grave? Fosun will want to bring in new players again this summer to ensure we don't go through another season like this one again, lol.


6.) 01 Mar 2017 15:49:28
Wasn't Lambert a premiership manager?


7.) 01 Mar 2017 16:06:51
And whilst I think about it Bath, Ikeme, Stearman, Edwards, Williamson, Doherty were Prem. players and surely Costa and Cav are suitable for the Premier so we don't need to fill many positions and with Hause, Iorfa, Bright and Connor coming along nicely we should be well set without seeking to change everything again. Too many people out there think they can do a better job when they know next to nothing about the managers aspirations and plans for the immediate and long term future. Know less about the coaching staff and methods used and seem to think that wholesale change will bring back the glory years. This approach has never worked in the past so why would it work now?
And non of us know what Fosun are expecting or what support they are giving aside from financial muscle.
How many managers have we had in the past 5 years?
Continuity is necessary for any chance of longer term success not moronic knee jerk changes every time things look a bit less rosy than we would like.


8.) 01 Mar 2017 16:15:44
I'm with you Paul I don't think we will be relegated but a complete overall is needed these players are to cosy at this club and for fosun to achieve there goals a rethink is needed. There are two ways that they can go about this and like Paul said you can go and get a top premier league manager and back him 100% with staff players and money for big wages which fosun can obviously afford or you need to offer a big money incentive to the current squad to get them to put in the big performances that they did against Stoke Liverpool and Chelsea week in week out. These players no that if wolves get promotion that there all out of work because only a handful of these players good enough for premier league football I just wonder where this squad would be if they were offered a million pound a man for promotion at the start of the season not lying in 20th I think.


9.) 01 Mar 2017 16:21:19
In his own mind he was! And I used the word QUALITY!


10.) 01 Mar 2017 17:24:20
Lupinehowler r u Lambert or Edwards or Pat Mountain or Tony Daley in disguise? The cosy camaraderie between players and coaches needs breakin up! A big clear out is necessary top to bottom and Quality brought in if we are to achieve anything.


11.) 01 Mar 2017 17:43:15
We had an OVERHAUL (check the spelling) at the beginning of the season and that didn't work. What we need is to give a guy with a track record of getting promoted from this league time. The reason Lambert has come in halfway through the season, is because things weren't going well. We had a massive squad, which he wants to shrink, so he was never going to sign many in January. So how can he be getting so much stick for the problems that were already here. As for what he said this morning, does anyone expect him to say that the players that are here now, the ones he needs to keep us up, will be dropped next season. Come on.


12.) 01 Mar 2017 18:20:50
The best thing PL could do, is bring back Sako, Afobe and Kmac. At least those players could just slot back in, having already been here. The club would probably become a top eight side again with those 3, then you could build from there perhaps?


13.) 01 Mar 2017 17:50:04
And there is the problem. A complete overhaul of players and staff would mean a stupendous financial outlay. Severance pay to get rid of the deadwood plus multiple millions to build a new squad. Even with their vast resources I don't think Fosun will be investing at that level with no guaranteed success.
I can't think of any other club who has been able to start from scratch the way you are suggesting so it is all wishful thinking I'm afraid
Cost of such a folly on postcards please.


14.) 01 Mar 2017 17:56:18
The squad obviously isn't big enough for him as he keeps pickin Saville and Batth? The guys got a worse record than Zenga and we sacked him! While he's here he needs to get his arse into gear and do the job he's paid a lot of money to do! Get us up the league!


15.) 01 Mar 2017 18:00:20
No Paul, just a Wolves fan in excess of 50 years who has seen too many changes when some stability may have brought better long term success.
It would be nice to be able to wave your magic wand over the club and see the trophies come flooding in but, sorry to inform you, life and football are not like that.


16.) 01 Mar 2017 18:02:14
Just out of interest Paul, which manager would you appoint and what would be your preferred team?


17.) 01 Mar 2017 18:07:35
English was never my strong point thanks for the correction I have never said that lambert should go ( check previous quotes) but these player are to cosy and if you look at what I said then you will see that I said these players can play and have proved it on a few occasions this season. Players play for one thing and one only MONEY and what I tried to say was if we gave them a big money incentive at the start of this season then I believe this team would be pushing for promotion this season. The cosy Compton club will not play them self's out of work any other way.


18.) 01 Mar 2017 19:06:10
As long as Fosun were serious about success, one of my targets would be Martin O'neil as he proved himself with villa, finishin 3 seasons runnin in the top 6. Players wise we need players of the ilk of Costa. It will be expensive but with success come higher rewards.


19.) 01 Mar 2017 19:30:59
THE APPRENTICE MANAGERS LAMENt.

Good morning Mr. Tamworth thankyou for applying for the vacant managers post, as you know we had to let Mr. Lambert go because he failed to bring instant success.
You have indicated in your application that you see a wholesale overhaul as being necessary for progress.
It seems that you wish to oversee a complete change to the playing staff. Could you let us know what costs you may invisage.

P. Tamworth. Well I would replace all the defenders and would imagine that I could convince good quality, experienced players from the premiership to come and join the club.

What would be the cost of these players Mr. Tamworth.

P. Tamworth. Quality comes at a price but if we are careful we should get four quality defenders for about 60 million initial outlay, wages will be much higher of course but I am sure our owners can afford it.

And you would redesign the midfield Mr. Tamworth?

Of course, the engine room of the team. You would need a quality attacking midfielder and an effective ball winning midfielder at the very least. But quality costs and I would be encouraging you to put by at least 40 million for these vital positions.

Now you pointed out that the current strikers are worse than pathetic so we presume that you would look for alternatives Mr. Tamworth.

Of course, you can't win anything without at least two 20 goals a season strikers.

And what would they cost Mr. Tamworth?

Decent strikers are not cheap so I would think we should be prepared to invest at least 50 million.

Thankyou Mr. Tamworth, we can see you are a man of vision.

We, ll be in touch.


Or maybe not!


20.) 01 Mar 2017 19:51:51
If Fosun r serious they will realise when u buy a football club if u want to play with the big boys spending never stops? This is Wolves best chance in years to achieve something, but it all depends on Fosun? In time with investment and quality we can be a big fish in a big sea or we stay where we are. Only Fosun have the answer?


21.) 01 Mar 2017 19:58:55
Lupinehowler why do you worry so much about the money is it coming out your account? The facts are clear and if fosun and Jeff shi are to achieve what they have set out to do then you can't do it on the cheap. To get anywhere near the top 6 in the premier league we need to spend somewhere in the region of 500 million and to get anywhere near the top at least 1 billion look at what Tottenham and Liverpool have spent and there nowhere near winning anything. I no Leicester won last year and fair play to them but that's not going to keep happening.


22.) 01 Mar 2017 20:01:40
The key phrase --- "in time".


23.) 01 Mar 2017 20:08:51
Lupinehowler it won't be in your lifetime if Fosun don't put serious investment in, and bring the quality required?


24.) 01 Mar 2017 20:24:50
Who said I was worried about money?
What we all know is that Fosun have currently committed to 30 million so all the dreams of massive financial outlay is currently wide of the mark.


25.) 01 Mar 2017 20:25:55
Hi Paul.
I support Wolves win, lose or draw.


26.) 01 Mar 2017 20:49:50
So do I that's why I go home and away to support them.


27.) 01 Mar 2017 21:02:43
We all support them win lose or draw but what you joked about in that essay you wrote about Paul is exactly what is required to move forward. You say you've supported wolves for 50 years and that great so you've seen two league cup wins European football at molneux well I'm 39 and as an average wolves have been about mid table in the championship for the 30 years that I've loved them for so when a billion pound company buys us we all get hopes up. I no Rome wasn't built in a day but all I tried to say hours ago was that this team can play but there not putting it in week in week out because they all no they'll be down the road if we were to get promoted so you've got to give them something to play for.


28.) 01 Mar 2017 21:13:46
I know who I would give a shot to. Hi Ho Silva Lining. said it months ago. it won't happen, but we need significant change in the order to make progress like Southampton went through when they were in league one. right from the top down, to get from the bottom back up. A complete restructure! 👍 On a positive note the academy is at least looking good and guess what, that was due to significant investment and change!


29.) 01 Mar 2017 21:24:17
Sorry meant molineux.


30.) 01 Mar 2017 21:24:56
Paul I just thought overall was quite funny no need yo get personal!


31.) 01 Mar 2017 23:06:39
Jas M, I see no comment from PT referring to your hilarious comment and it's to get personal not "yo get petsonal" as you clearly like to point out grammatical errors! . At least PT speaks the truth and doesn't live in the dream that our squad depth is good enough to see us through. We are poor and I'm afraid to say our manager is poor. We played 433 under zenga and is didn't work, Edwards played 433 and it didn't work but the master tactician that is lambert continues to play a 433 and guess what, it doesn't work! . Get Rowett in and make some changes. Or if not Rowett someone who has a plan b when we look awful against let's be fair pretty much everyone! .

I have a strong feeling that Nuno Santo will be the man. If he is prepared to come to English 2nd tier football then I think this might be what Fosun have been waiting for.
His record suggests he is a winner. And a technically sound coach. Its just the lack of Championship experience that worries me. But I don't think Fosun are too bothered about that anymore.
My gut is telling me that this is the man.

Tom Tit

1.) 24 May 2017 10:19:34
I wish this manager business was sorted so we can start doing business ar self and what a load ov waffle about deals for targets were already in place lambert must ov known he was a going to let's see wht this Santos blokes like we can always sake him if he losses a couple ov preseason matchs haha now tht would be stange.


2.) 24 May 2017 12:56:18
If we are going European, which I think is highly likely, then this guy looks about the best option. We need to realise that although we have massive backing and potential, we are realistically a mid table championship side so we are not going to get a massive name who has been there and done that. I understand the worry about a lack of championship experience, but look at the top six this season. Benitez had never managed at this level. Stam had never managed in England at all. Neither had Wagner but he kept Huddersfield up then play offs this season. Wednesday fans were asking who the hell Carvalhal was but in play offs both seasons. Jankovic took Watford up at the first attempt despite no experience of managing here and using loads of foreign loans and signings. We have tried the proven route in the past and it hasn't always worked, eg Hoddle and Taylor. No appointment or signing comes with any guarantees, some mangers/ players work at some clubs but not others so whoever we get instead of moaning and finding negatives let's get behind the lads straight from the off. COYW.


3.) 24 May 2017 13:14:50
Is that South banker? I agree with you! If alladyce was given the job though and appropriate responsibility I believe he would be a good bet and able to match what Benitez has done and also move us up the prem when we got there. Would Fosun give him the guarantees he would need and allow him his coaches etc to get on board. That's another question quite apart from Sam A agreeing to it! If Benitez can do it I'm sure Sam can. He would help us attract the right sort of player wouldn't he? It's all taking too long to sort. If Sams not interested then go for Nuno and let's get started. 👍😉⚽️.

Hope you are all well and enjoying a break from what became a turgid end to the season. One or two observations from me.

1. It does seems obvious to us all that that Lambert is going. But what's the delay? I don't believe its a contract running out at the end of the month. Would 3 weeks really bother a conglomerate like Fosun.

2. If Karanka is to be our new manager then why hasn't it been done already. He is out of work and totally available. If it is him what is the delay.

3. I believe that there choice is definitely Marco Silva, that is who they are waiting for. If he declines or doesn't leave Hull then yes, I would guess that Karanka is probably second choice.

4. Wolves had agreed fees and contracts with 4 players. This is a fact. So are they still waiting to sign for Wolves or are the deals off. I have been led to believe that one of these deals was in excess of £15m.

Just my thoughts and observations on the last week or so. Any thoughts fellow gossipers?

There has been no press release of any kind from the club unlike the situation we had with Zenga/ Jacket so it could well be that PL is still in the managerial position and all the rumours are just that, rumours.
I would imagine that player purchases are being handled by Mendes/ Lambert and we will not be aware of them until the ink is dry on the contracts so all the guessing is pointless as there will be a focus on younger foreign players who will be under our radar--- who would have picked Costa last year?
Bottom line is that we will not know what has happened or is going to happen until the club decides to let us know so some patience will be required, just hoping that whatever the situation it can excite us for the coming season.

Tom I agree with 1 - 3 have believed similar for a while.
On 4 you can't name names I know but will these transfers still be good under the uncertainty of who will be head coach?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that new signings started on 1 July. There may be players lined up who have agreed to sign, but it is probably wise to keep quiet until they are signed to avoid approaches from other clubs.

Think its 1st June.

Im not sure that Helder Costa has a lot of say in what happens in his career at the moment. I think he just leaves it up to that parasite Mendes and just turns up to play where he is told to. That is the reason I believe, why he won't be at Wolves next season. So if a bid in the region of £20m comes in for gods sake let's take it. I feel sorry for Costa. (Well as sorry as you can feel for a bloke sitting on his arse taking home £40k a week after a twisted ankle) . And this is the reason, as I have stated before, why I wish Jorge Mendes was nowhere near our club.

I couldn't agree more Tom Tit - as I have ranted about before, there is no way on Earth a club should take transfer advice off an agent. It's a conflict of interests as he is primarily going to be lining his own pocket, not giving impartial advice.

We should be cutting ties with him, getting shot of Thelwell and appointing a proper, respected, knowledgable football man as Director of Football and shaking up the scouting system.

Stop panicing everyone. I know it seems like a lifetime. But the story only broke 2 weeks ago yesterday. That is nothing time wise in a multi million pound deal. We have no idea how long they had been in negotiation prior to then. So we just have to be patient. My thoughts on it are simple. If the deals falls through, the club will HAVE to make an announcement, there is no doubt about that. So let's just wait and see. i'm as excited as every Wolves fan out there. As I said yesterday. PATIENCE.

{Ed001's Note - when the Manchester City takeover took place, Robinho was bought as a good faith payment during the early stages of the takeover, about where Wolves are said to be now. That was in August. The takeover only actually completed just in time for the January transfer window. They take months. People just didn't notice the time it took because of that good faith payment and because there were no hitches or issues being highlighted by the media.}

Morning Ed.
What an excellent point that is. As I mentioned above, we just don't know how long the negotiations have been going on. It could well be months away. But you know us football supporters! We are an impatient bunch. The only thing that might point to it being closer is the total lack of transfer activity. Our squad is threadbare, and relegation would be more of an option than a Play Off push. There are rumours that players have agreed deals and are waiting to sign. Perhaps they have already signed? But your point above is very valid and interesting. Thank you.

{Ed001's Note - the reason I mentioned Robinho being a good faith payment was because it was the same there. They had no transfer activity because of the takeover. Sheikh Mansour paid for the Robinho deal outside of the takeover. He took a big risk, as that £30+m would have been thrown away if the deal had fallen through.}

Wednesfield Wolf. Wake up and smell the coffee. It might be simple in your world. But some of us live in the real world.

Wolves011 - Don't for one minute think that Mendes is worried about whether Costa will be starting in the Prem. He is in this business for one reason and one reason only. And that is to line his very deep pockets. We are lucky that Fosun have a link with his company, and that is what has bought Cav and Costa to Wolves. But I can assure you, as soon as Mendes can sell them both on, he will. No question. And he will not give two s**ts about Wolves. He will then repeat the process again with other players that are signed to him. I personally hate this. And as I have stated before, I wish he was nothing to do with our club.

It won't be. The next person out of the door will be Thelwell. The only way that Lambert will go is if we are relegated (highly likely at the moment) or if Shi goes. I have heard nothing to suggest that Shi is moving on. Although we won't til it happens because that decision will come straight from China. I have been led to believe that if we are relegated then Lambert will walk. He won't wait to be sacked. And I have also been told that Shi is fully aware of this. Just rumours though.

Why are you trying to be so argumentative. If you read my post properly, you will see that I am saying exactly the same as you. That Jackett had taken us as far as he could. Mid table Championship was Jackett at best.

My point was that of stability. That it would have given Fosun a chance of bedding into English football. Finding there feet and pushing forward. But no. And look at the mess we are in now. It is just my opinion. I was one that knew that Jackett had done all he could.

And I was one that wanted a change. My point is, and hindsight is a wonderful thing, that I don't think we would be where we are now if Fosun had shown a little bit more patience and not tried to run before they could even crawl.

This is indeed very worrying. Seeing as it was the paper that broke the news in the first place. But we just don't know anything do we. So we have to wait. But I do worry as to why the deal for McDonald has stalled. Are we trying to hang onto him to cover all eventualities?

Decent this. Makes us strong in Goalkeeping Dept. I wonder if there was an outstanding payment due on the Stearman deal and if we have taken Lonergan as the final instalment. Just a hunch.
