Kieran Trippier considering cancelling his contract with (Vodafone and) Wolves. Feels he's been misled. Maybe Peixoto can turn Tchatchoua into a world beater. Good times.

Liam Keen has said it's fake news.
The longer this saga goes on, the more info is coming out.
Apparently Edwards was told after the Burnley game that he was going but this wouldn't be announced until Wolves had secured his replacement.
I've listened to a few different podcasts today and it's amazing just how varied the information is. What to believe is anyone's guess.

Tottenham apparently sniffing around Rodrigo Gomes. Will be a very decent player for Wolves in the Championship, but a good offer will see him leave.
1.) 29 May 2026 20:45:51
Trippier captain for sure. Part of the deal. If R Gomes leaves, it's gotta be 40mil. The guy is class and will get better.

Wolves fans shouldn't worry so much. Looking at things with a clear mind, Fosun didn't sign Jimenez and Trippier, plus give Andre a new deal, to have a team of muppets stinking out the Championship. Rob Edwards being binned further shows Fosun aren't messing about. I don't even think Wolves will make a slow start.
1.) 27 Jun 2026 18:13:27
Willy Gnonto, anyone from Leeds?
2.) 27 Jun 2026 18:52:45
Would be a superb signing, but would Leeds be willing to sell? Pretty sure, he can play both sides. Young player, too.
If Leeds were happy to let him go, he would cost serious scarole/benjamins/clams/moolah/dough.
3.) 29 Jun 2026 08:38:05
Play both sides? Hmm!
4.) 29 Jun 2026 22:38:16
I'd take Dan James as British based, etc. Got pace, something that we are desperate for.
13 Jun 2026 20:20:53
Having calmed down, I can see that Nathan Shi and Fosun have made the right decision - Rob Edwards definitely wasn’t the right man to take Wolves forward.
Someone on here made a comment and smashed it. To paraphrase, imagine if Rob had been given ‘his’ team and then been fired after so many games. Rob was never the right appointment - another Jeff disaster. Rob is a lovely guy, and hopefully he’ll do well in his next job. Football is a brutal business, and Re knows this.
Cesar Peixoto must be a dark horse, and he’s clearly going to be given a very decent squad of players.
Hopefully Wolves players will be sold and new players purchased in a systematic manner, and Wolves will be 100% ready for pre season. Nathan Shi seems to be a man of his word, and a huge upgrade on Jeff. As Gerry Rafferty - a genius - sort of said: You’ve got to get it wrong to get it right next time.
Bit late to the party, by my God, learning of Kenny Jackett’s passing knocked me for six. Wolves in League One under Kenny Jackett will live long in the memory of many Wolves fans. One of my favourite Wolves managers, who managed one of my favourite Wolves teams. Rest in peace, Kenny.

Four clubs in two years. Four clubs where he hasn’t achieved a win ratio over 30%. Three clubs he couldn’t get above a 29% win ratio. Two clubs he couldn’t get above a 25% win ratio. Peixoto’s poor win ratios come in a poor league. Edwards’s recent atrocious stats come in the PL with a dog**** squad.
Cesar Peixoto is 46 years of age; Rob will be 44 this year. Both have had a lot of managerial appointments in a short managerial career.
I saw the Edwards being sacked rumour very early on, but dismissed it when I saw who the potential replacement was.
People can say “Well, we never heard of Nuno”. There’s a huge difference between the unknown Nuno and the unknown Peixoto.
Either this new guy is going to be Ibiza Final Boss or Walter Zenga 2.0. Hopefully Mendes knows something everyone else doesn’t.
1.) 11 Jun 2026 11:30:30
Sorry, Ice, but where are you getting those numbers from, mate, because, having just glanced over his last job, they seem entirely wrong?
Last season he managed to win 13/34, giving him a win ratio of 38% (which incidentally is about the same as Nuno in the Prem). Over the course of his career he's averaged approx 35%, so I'm just unsure where those numbers you've got have come from.
Also, worth noting that if win ratios are the metric here, then that doesn't look good for Edwards. So, whilst Peixoto managed a 38% win ratio last year, Edwards managed 11%. ?
2.) 11 Jun 2026 11:34:36
As much as I wanted RE gone at the end of the season, this development now feels like it'll disrupt our prep for the Championship.
I was beginning to feel a little hopeful.
Now, an unknown taking charge for an inexperienced season in England, let alone the Championship, concerns me.
He's to win over and get to know existing players, recruit and integrate new ones.
Study what's needed, style-wise, and put it all together to succeed on the pitch.
I dearly hope I'm wrong, of course, but I think the 10-game start may be all he'll get.
Fair dos tho, he'll be given the chance and my support.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 11:44:06
On those numbers, Bully's, you might say Peixoto is less bad than Edwards, but I think Edwards should only have been replaced by a proven good manager. Peixoto doesn't do it for me. Let's hope I'm proved to be wrong.
4.) 11 Jun 2026 11:53:28
I get what you're saying, Innocent, but do 'proven good managers' take jobs at recently relegated clubs? I think the reality is for the position we find ourselves in this is in fact a relatively ambitious hire.
Now, I'm not saying it'll work, only time will decide that. But, clearly, Nathan had decided that Rob was not working, and I can't say that I disagreed with him on that front. Let's hope Peixoto has a dream! ? ?
5.) 11 Jun 2026 12:05:48
I have to concur with Bully's statements. Also, the issue of prep for the Championship is a non-starter; simply because most staff and players are still off for the summer. Hopefully Cesar comes in and pre-season starts with his staff and players.
6.) 11 Jun 2026 12:56:36
That's one of my concerns, Pikey. What players will Peixoto attract or bring? With Trip and Raul, I was hoping RE was carrying some influence on homegrown lads who know the Championship.
Lads from Portugal may take time to adjust if that should happen. Sadly, he seems an unknown for others to commit to. Really hope it works out. Just find it hard to get excited about.
7.) 11 Jun 2026 13:30:38
Uncle Jorge will supply the players and Cesar will be tasked with fitting them in (just like Nuno had to). They have gone back to their model of all those years ago. The talk of players coming because of the manager is just because they're never going to play if they don't say otherwise; Trippier is here because his kids live minutes away and Raul is here because Nathan got in there early and sold the "project" to him.
All we can hope for, as fans, is that Jorge gets us a few players who turn out to be as good as Jota, Neves or Neto.
11 Jun 2026 09:16:57
Well that shows what I know about football. Why wait so long to sack Rob Edwards? Why sack him to replace him with a manager who seemingly has a worse track record than Rob? This is clearly a Mendes appointment. Mendes must know something that the Wolves fans don't, and Peixoto is going to be Nuno 2.0.
I've never been a fan of RE; he's had too many clubs for such a young manager, his stats are dreadful, and his football was murderous to watch, but for him to be sacked in the way that he has is nothing short of disgusting. It's embarrassing.
1.) 11 Jun 2026 09:49:38
Problem being Ice, we know nothing about who knew what and when, etc., but most wanted RE gone, and Nathan has delivered on that. Whether his replacement is any good, only time will tell, I suppose, but football at this level is brutal and clubs sack managers/coaches with far better stats than RE's. It often follows relegation, so is it that much of a surprise?
2.) 11 Jun 2026 09:58:20
Not sure how he's performed worse than Edwards, exactly? Last season Peixoto averaged 1.47 ppm, whereas Edwards averages 0.67 ppm. Peixoto, therefore, got over double the return that Edwards did over the course of a season.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 09:59:56
Very good point, Longmynd, but wrong way to sack RE if true, in my opinion.
07 Jun 2026 19:19:16
Wouldn’t it make more sense for Wolves to buy Bastien Meupiyou for the £1 million buyback fee and then sell him on? Give Alverca a bottle of wine for their trouble.
If Wolves allow Meupiyou to stay at Alverca and let them sell him for approx £15 million, Wolves will get their original fee back plus 50% in the profit range, which equates to about £10 million.
1.) 07 Jun 2026 22:20:48
It would make more sense, and, looking at news reports, it's something we are looking at. It would, however, also rely on him agreeing to the move, which could be a sticking point.
2.) 08 Jun 2026 03:11:25
But would Dortmund want to deal with us after the Silva fiasco?
3.) 08 Jun 2026 09:01:59
According to Football League World, the buy-back option doesn't exist, so, on a $12 million plus $5 million in add-ons, we would get $6 million + $2.5 million.
4.) 08 Jun 2026 13:58:44
Wolves will get back their original EUR5 million purchase fee, plus 50% in the profit range, so they're looking at about EUR11 million in total. Apparently a few clubs are sniffing around him, so Wolves/Alverca might get a very decent initial fee with fewer add-ons.
13 Jul 2026 12:33:53
Of course the World Cup affects clubs signing players? Are Wolves a League One side trying to sign non internationals from the UK? Are Wolves trying to get rid of players who are Internationals? Are Wolves trying to sign players who are internationals? Has Matt Jackson - a sporting director and ex player - come out and said the World Cup affects players coming in and going out? You know more than Matt Jackson?
Have Man Utd signed a player who has just come back from the World Cup without injury?
The World Cup has 48 teams in it. How many players are there? 600+. 600+ players who will move around the top leagues in the world. The Championship is one of those leagues. Is the Championship classed as one of the most important leagues in the World? You want Wolves to sign a player at the World Cup who does his ACL in the next game? Raul is different.
Wolves had to take a massive risk and sign him or risk losing him. Hence Nathan moving pre World Cup to get him.
Matt Jackson has stated that now clubs are back in training, and the WC is effectively over, players will now start leaving and coming in. You know better? Get yourself to the Mol and take over the transfer dealings. The club only needs Good. Guys got it sussed.
Highly unlikely Wolves are looking at Alfie Flowers and Matty Bloomer from Isn't Life Easy FC, so players coming in will be affected by the World Cup, in one way or another. Incomings are also linked to outgoings.

No point in keeping Tolu at Wolves if he has no future at the club. There wouldn't be a place for him in the team with King Raul Jimenez. I’m hoping Wolves bring Sasa back into the team. He would complement Raul.
08 Jul 2026 10:46:24
Get him in. He would be a great signing. Not too fussed about Liam Keen not picking up on the rumour (if it's real), as he's normally a little off the pace.
07 Jul 2026 14:38:35
Excellent points made, Good.
14 Jun 2026 11:20:25
No. No. No. No. No. Too much play has to go through him to make him effective. He'll want a decent contract, which is of no use to Wolves going forward. In the PL he'll be nothing more than a 20 minutes here and there player.
09 Jul 2026 10:55:09
Jesus, forgot about him. That's quite depressing that I forgot about Hwang: a Wolves player who's been pretty much anonymous from day one.
08 Jul 2026 11:17:35
According to Nathan Shi and Fosun, the Molineux is being looked at for a rebuild. The problem is they're saying 3-5 years. The Steve Bull Stand is an abomination. It was refurbished more than 30 years ago, and it was already a cramped, cheap stand. Wolves wouldn't need a huge ground unless Fosun has huge plans for Wolves, and that is very unlikely.
07 Jul 2026 18:44:33
HS2 won't be finished for years. Literally years. The Curzon Street station will be near to St Andrews, but that's about it. Will HS2 be putting a stop in Small Heath?
Curzon Street's current progress in the equivalent of one huge stone that'll be part of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
I was speaking to a HS2 engineer, in his 50s, who he told me by the time it's all finished he'll be retired.
People shouldn't underestimate the Chinese. They take their time, but they eventually overtake everyone.
07 Jul 2026 14:30:28
You a Baggie in disguise?!
Wolves will always be a bigger club than the Brummies. I know the Blues have big plans for their stadium, but until the McAlpine lads turn up with their shovels I won't believe any of it. Envious fans should also realise that Small Heath is a massive toilet, and until BCC start improving the transport links and pedestrian routes to the ground, nothing will be getting built.
If Fosun are sticking around then they'll have to eventually do something with the stadium. The Molineux doesn't need to be a huge stadium. Look at the Raiffeisen Arena: 19,000 seater stadium that is utterly beautiful.
05 Jul 2026 16:34:10
I don't think it's the end of the world if Gustavo Sa moves to West Ham. Do Wolves desperately need a 21-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder?
If Rodrigo Gomes and Mane are going to be playing in forward positions, I don't think the club needs another kid. They need older, more battle-hardened players.
