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.

The crazy thing was JL signed him who had worked and trained with him at Wolves. So whereas another coach may not have known everything - he would or should have done.
We've sold some players too cheaply, but how much Wolves got for Kilman, Nunes and now JSL is at least some comfort.

The only way it would happen next season is if Fosun fund it rather than the club which unfortunately I can't see them doing.
It would be the right time though to bulldoze the Steve Bull and dismantle the embarrassment that's the Graham Hughes stand and redo the Steve Bull to join up with the North bank.
I'd imagine that planning permission etc is still an issue, but it would be good to see at least some concrete evidence of progress with the ground.

Rob Edwards was never the answer this season. I don't think he is next season either but that's a whole different conversation. Remember he wasn't even first choice. He was behind bringing GoN back as a preference.
He isn't helped by the fact there isn't enough quality in the team, we were already down when he was appointed and we've got arguably less depth now than a month ago.
What should we do though? Who would come before the end of the season? Do we wait it out and make a change after the season? Do we give RE the summer and start of next season?

My understanding was anything that happened would be an internal refit. It really needs bulldozing and completely rebuilding. The proposition was a half a job as a gesture to show something would happen, but it wouldn't actually achieve what we all know is needed.

That's kind of what I was angling at Arddunby. Infrastructure, income are all things possible by the owners and as far as I'm aware don't get hit by PSR. The issue is even if the owners did want to do it it needs the right people to execute it all, and previous recruitments leave much to be desired.
Just on our academy it should be a place developing young domestic and overseas talents that either supplement the first team or are sold for the supposed 100% profit to help supplement improving the first team. Other than Mane for a few weeks so far this season (hopefully he has a fantastic career), our academy developments are hugely disappointing and that's at the doors of the owners for who has been recruited to operate it.
Unfortunately with the value of the club going to be decimated by relegation I can't see Fosun as an investment company letting go any time soon. Also who know with the next owners whether we'd get sense and progress, or a bunch of clowns who still could end up being worse than what we have now as crazy as that may sound in this moment.
