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.

Really sad. A huge part in rebuilding after the drop to League One and unlucky to be fired when Fosun took over. A true gent and an important part of Wolves history.

I'm not defending the club, but I suspect they have been sounding out targets for a while, and wanted to have someone lined up and in place to sack Edwards, to avoid a delay with no manager and a rushed appointment. If they found nobody, they would probably have hoped to continue with Edwards.
I expect someone leaked about the new manager before the club were ready, so they had to either lie about it, or bite the bullet, and that's why the new man hasn't been formally announced yet, and if the deal isn't done, the club will end up looking stupid now.
The situation could have been handled better, but after Rob's performance, and the way he has left roles previously in his coaching career, especially the way he left Forest Green, I really have no sympathy.

It's a strange one in terms of timing. Nathan Shi has clearly decided to take a different direction. Whether it works or not, who knows. Was Edwards the right appointment last season? No. Was he the best amongst slim pickings? Maybe. Could he have done enough in the Championship? Maybe.
It just seems odd, after Trippier and Raul have signed, to do it on the eve of the World Cup. Things must have been happening behind the scenes for a while, and now the club have what they see as a better option ready to go, Edwards is out.
I expect the new manager will be announced today, and the plan is to show the club have some sort of plan. Whether it's successful, let's wait and see. It definitely isn't boring being a Wolves fan (except watching some of the sideways passing of previous regimes).

I took Raul coming back with a pinch of salt, until I saw him in the shirt. Great signing. He won't play every game, but 46 plus cup games is a packed schedule, and having him will definitely help the squad.
I was fortunate enough to bump into Raul outside the ground once.
He's a nice guy, and regardless of how many he scores for us, we know he will give his all for the club.
There's a lot to do to repair the damage of last season, but no one can argue signing Raul and Trippier is a decent start to that journey. Hopefully the intention continues.

Doc gave us some great moments. I believe he scored the late goal against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup to get the replay in our semi-final season. Otherwise, history would be very different.
He'll be good in the Championship for someone, but sadly not for us, and here is why.
Trippier is better. I don't think you could play both as first choice with a 34/35 year old on each flank. Doc would want a decent wage, so would be an expensive back up, and if swapping to a back 4 I think there are better options at centre back for the money at that level.
