If I was buying the club (unfortunately I'm not a billionaire) I'd lease the wolf head to fosun on strict terms as an additional income for the club. Then I'd invest in the stadium, academy, fan experiences, corporate, all the things needed to try and make the club sustainable at a higher level. And most importantly have good commercial people for the commercial side of the business, and good football people for the football side of the business.
PSR will still be a problem for whoever owns the club, but if they invest where possible without breaking the rules it at least gives the club a chance of being competitive in the long term.
I wouldn't guarantee promotion next season. Championship is a tough league and if the recruitment isn't spot on in the summer it could be a real slog.

I think this window is the perfect storm of all worst cases. Not staying up or even within a realistic chance of doing so, so no one wants to come. Players been moved on are mainly the summer signings showing what a disaster the previous window was. January is a nightmare to sign anyone decent in at the best of times, but the club have nothing worth offering.
I wouldn't be surprised if no one comes in this window. It's a case of clear out anyone they can to get some cash in, write off the end of the season and then cobble something together for next season. I can see players coming in pre season, but not for big money.
Serious questions need answering about the failure to sign any premier league experience in the summer. Also why so few of our youth prospects make the first team or go out on loan and seem to come back regressing as players and not improving.

Very true. It's all well and good fighting until it's a mathematical impossibility - and they should. However Forest will pick up points. Realistically to get into 17th place as a minimum will take 35 points unless 2 of Forest, Bournemouth or another team fall off a cliff. That means needing 30 points in the second half of the season. At the half way stage 30 points leaves you just outside the top 4.
To turn around a team with 1 win in 20 to top 4 form in 18 games with a difficult January window really is the making of miracles.

Rosenior would be a good shout if he wanted the job, but also if he's given 18 months and not just to the end of the season. If / when we go down changing the head coach again seems a waste unless we go down without a fight.
At the moment we just may have to accept whoever it is due to a lack of pulling power (unless it turns out to be Shi in a tracksuit).

At this rate Jackett or Lambert will be coming back.

Since January we've had a habit of conceding a second goal within minutes of the first. This is a mentality thing, and completely at Edwards' door. Even lower league opposition can manage a game against a Premier League side better than that.
To me, there are two options. Let Edwards carry on over pre season, but if it backfires, the club are in a worse position and it's a big risk.
Or, admit that, even in preparing to manage the team in the Championship, it's been a massive mistake and use pre season to try and fix as much as possible, even though trying to fix everything in one transfer window is going to be an almost impossible task.

Edwards got the job because nobody else really wanted it at the time. It was also likely to prepare us for the Championship, because the squad isn't good enough. However, Rob Edwards' limited abilities are only part of the problem. A master craftsman couldn't carve a masterpiece with a plastic teaspoon. In the same way, no matter how good a coach is, he still needs decent players and football people around him.
I can see next season going a similar way to the Zenga/Lambert season, and there may be some nervous looks over our shoulders at the bottom 3. And if we have any financial issues, the EFL will be on us quickly, meaning things could go from bad to worse.

That's exactly it. The waiting list is now turning into a years-long stretch of lost revenue and missed opportunity.

We've had a long waiting list for about 7 years. Yet we have a couple of outdated stands and the 23-year embarrassment of the Graham Hughes "temporary" stand. If it's temporary for much longer, it will end up being grade 2 listed!
On top of that, revamped stands give us corporate and other match and non-matchday experience revenue options.
We should also be funding the women's team properly. It's a huge growth area, and Wolverhampton should have a top WSL team.
All huge failures and missed opportunities to increase the revenue the club generates and keep us competitive.

There are clearly a couple of bad eggs upsetting the dressing room, but I feel, mainly, they just don't have the quality. They aren't good enough. Maybe another manager could get more out of them, but to be honest, it still wouldn't be enough.
This season, the failure lies at the door of the board and those responsible for the awful summer transfer window.
