WW stands for Wonderful Wolves, and they were that today. The discussions have been what price Neto, my question is what price Gomes. He was magnificent. I'm sure a top six club will come knocking. Next up Sheffield United a team that will try and disrupt at any cost.
1.) 18 Feb 2024 13:00:18
Many of our players will be wanted. Our players need to decide if they want regular play time with Wolves and build something or a potentially only a backup role in a big 6. Think Matheus Nunes with City now. I know I personally would want to play. Wolves need to continue upping contract pay to these main guys so they have less incentive to leave.
2.) 18 Feb 2024 14:08:36
Many of our players may indeed be wanted, however we are in a strong position as most of them have at least 2 years left on their contract so any interested clubs will have to pay top dollar.
3.) 18 Feb 2024 15:14:45
£100 million, Neto.
£80 million Cunha.
£80 million Gomes.
Not a penny less.
4.) 22 Feb 2024 07:47:16
That's over a 1/4 of a billion Lostcity 38 years ago 1986 £65, 000 for Bully and Thommo.
5.) 22 Feb 2024 07:48:55
Ps saying that kilman was it £35, 000 how much he worth now 30 million maybe.
6.) 04 Mar 2024 13:25:28
£80M for Neto is exceptional price for his goal return, £50M if he stays fit for another 10 weeks would be good.
Cunha not worth any more than we paid for him until he shows he can perform over more than a full season
Gomes is going to be worth £50+ if he develops as much as he has done already, maybe £80 one day but not currently
Biggest job this summer is turning some of the loanees into a pot of gold, in Matt we trust

Changing the subject, I heard Mr Lineker state again that Wolves have not scored from outside the box, I seem to remember a certain Tommy Doyle scoring a belter against Brentford from well outside the box. Admittedly it was a cup game but a goal is a goal. I'm sure that when Lineker played and totted up his goal tally for a season he included all cup and league games.
24 Aug 2023 20:31:15
I'm a New Zealander and have followed Wolves for decades I'm 75 years old, my source for Wolves rumours is via Wolves Rumours/Banter and Express Star. Can someone please clarify where Wolves currently stand. Are Fosun selling is Jeff Shi still involved, are Wolves selling players because of FFP.
1.) 24 Aug 2023 20:56:49
The only honest answer is that no-one really knows what the status of the club is. Only time will tell.
2.) 24 Aug 2023 21:17:18
No-one knows for sure it's all speculation but the rumours are gaining more traction by the day, I believe we are up for sale based on what i'm seeing, but ofcourse that isn't a dead cert it is just my belief.
3.) 24 Aug 2023 22:16:24
Yes LindsayB, someone can answer your question. That someone is Jeff Shi, but he won’t. You could try giving him a call to express your displeasure and you can tell him I’m not happy either. Better you divert your energies to supporting the All Blacks!
4.) 24 Aug 2023 22:52:10
Not a rugby fan but thank you for your post.
5.) 25 Aug 2023 04:16:24
has fans are saying all rumour's at the moment most of us think something is going on why sell players making the team weak and not replacing them not even loan players its getting very toxic with the fans forsun/jeff shi can only blame themselves
6.) 25 Aug 2023 06:47:50
Not a rugby fan? Strewth LindsayB, be careful saying that or the Kiwi’s will revoke your citizenship!
7.) 25 Aug 2023 10:10:48
I understand your point Rated but what is it you're seeing that makes you believe we are up for sale? Expressions of interest from qualified buyers? Consortiums being put together? There is zilch!
Fosun are not mugs. We are not dealing with an entity like the Bhatti Brothers here. If Fosun ever want to sell, they will very publicly appoint a merchant bank to run the whole process and to achieve the maximum sale price possible. The Premier League will be involved in vetting a number of potential buyers. When Fosun bought us in 2016 they were just one of a large number of bidders.
There is not a single piece of concrete evidence that we are for sale, just fans reporting and repeating rumours.
8.) 25 Aug 2023 11:49:05
Deep Throat there are posters on other sites who have been heavily involved in takeovers. There view is what Fosun are currently doing indicates a takeover or preparation for one.That is my experience as well.
As for using a Merchant bank is that what Morgan did?
9.) 25 Aug 2023 13:32:44
Wittonian, so you're just repeating 'views' of other posters! My view is what Fosun are currently doing is.running a football club.nothing more, nothing less.
The sale from Morgan to Fosun in 2016 took such a long time that Lopetegui reneged on his agreement to coach Wolves then.
A £400mil sale in the Premier League today is a totally different animal to a £30mil sale in the Championship in 2016. Fosun would appoint a specialist merchant bank to vet the finances and credibility of every interested party, of which there would be many.
10.) 25 Aug 2023 14:30:04
Get what you're saying Deep mate, it's just my beliefs as so many rumours about it on the level I saw when Morgan sold us to Fosun, it is just a case of wait and see what happens.
11.) 25 Aug 2023 14:33:48
Well said Deep Throat.
12.) 25 Aug 2023 15:32:48
Good thread. I have to be honest here the more I look at it the more I think Deep is (saddly:) absolutely right! And Wit I wouldn't beleive a word those posters say about 'being heavily involved in take overs' cause there's absolutely nothing to show there's any truth in it (basically the same as all the idk stuff which is almost always trolls/fake)!
I think what is more interesting is how desperate we all seem to be to WANT to believe that we are up for sale (and yes I very much include myself in that so not pointing fingers)! What does it say about Fosuns ownership that we've all snow balled along with this sale rumour?! When as Deep quite rightly says there's not a single shred of genuine news to actually back said rumour?! Seems like a pretty damming review of Fosuns work that we are all seemingly desperate to see them gone right now?! I actually think their biggest mistake right now (and there seem to be many) is the complete lack of PR! This level of discontent from the fans is almost entirely because Jeffs lost all credibility and all we have had to explain the current crisis our club seems to be in is a mealy mouthed letter (which most of us wouldn't wipe something with:)!
Deep is right though, when you look at it openly there is not a single piece of GENUINE news that suggests we are being sold! Saddly guys I think we are all wishful thinking and that's the REAL tragedy to this story! Jeff needs to get this house in order else (as I predicted before) we will start to see banners at games and I doubt Fosun will like um much! COYW ?
13.) 25 Aug 2023 15:37:00
Deep - strongly suspect that everything you say in the 2 posts in the thread above is correct particularly regarding the manner in which Fosun would act.
However far from certain re the £400m. Sadly whilst we were def worth that and more in the aftermath of Seville today I fear that ship has more than sailed.
If we go down and that has to be possible ( I still think we have enough to survive although rumours of further sales are scary!) the value of the club would plummet as most of the squad would have to be sold - simply can't afford the amort let alone the wages - and it is quite possible that we would struggle in the Championship both on and off the pitch.
Any buyer will be aware of that.
Note also that the underlying financial position - (the FFP issue) is v v weak.
Although we have lots of posters saying there can't be a problem or that the sale of Neves will have solved it (Along with the other sales this summer it presumably has for this year, (23/24) but obviously not next (24/25) year!) I'm far from certain that is the case.
Look at the latest accounts and extrapolate.
Turnover if we stay in the Prem is going nowhere ( if we get relegated it plummets)
But our principal costs wages and amorts currently vastly exceed turnover even before we buy a pint of milk a football or turn on the lights.
Those amorts and wages are reasonably easy to project given you know the tranfer dealings and the new contracts awarded.
Although it may not feel it we have made lots of "transfers in" recently the guys in Jan plus Cunha and Traore this summer.
plus of course "settled" with two management teams!
Consequently I thnk we are probably losing circa 60-70m a year pre players sales for the next couple of years until the amorts/contracts start to unwind in the summer of 2025.
Buyers will also be aware of that!
We have overspent massively and badly under Shi since Seville and the chickens are coming home to roost!
thanks Jeff!
14.) 25 Aug 2023 16:21:38
When Morgan sold, everybody new he was selling.
15.) 25 Aug 2023 16:25:09
I get what everyone is saying but there's not a single piece of evidence out there that we are for sale. Not even clickbait from a dodgy copycat football site. Just beliefs, views and hunches etc. Maybe just wishful thinking?
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE a sale to go though. When Morgan sold us in 2016 he fired the starting pistol on the process and I think Moxey said they had about 15 credible bidders amongst the timewasters.
16.) 25 Aug 2023 17:14:51
This summer could all be down to ffp but not how people are expecting. We all know you are allowed to make 105 million loss over 3 years if it is underwritten by the owners. Where as if the owners won’t underwrite the loss it is only 15 million. So it could be fosun realigning us to be self funding luke they said we had to be all along.
17.) 25 Aug 2023 17:27:30
There are opinions coming from deep within Molineux that we are for sale (rumours, granted). They are accompanied by concerns over the financial health of Fosun Int.
Fosun stock rise
As for public sale - It is unlikely Fosun would publicly market the club, as it would be unnerving for their financial partners / investors. Only once a suitor is found, the details will start to emerge.
Unsettling as it may be, sale is our best hope for both investment and stability. The apparent erratic management style can’t be endured for much longer without dire consequences - the best players leave, the club exits the premier. Those of us who remember the early 80’s know just how low the mighty can fall.
18.) 26 Aug 2023 07:43:01
Deep Throat read what I said please. I also mentioned my experience. Other posters elsewhere with great experience of takeovers are saying the same thing.
Lopetegui turned us down because he took the Spain job.
19.) 26 Aug 2023 13:01:20
This is what I don’t understand yes we’re selling players like hot dogs, but why aren’t we getting a few loan players through the door?
20.) 26 Aug 2023 14:05:48
That's the part none of us can understand Wolfie. When you break it down if we were doing that there wouldn't be half of this sale talk. Cause the way we are running things defies logic, so peeps are trying to find logic with theories. Entirely understandable in the vacuum that is our current PR dept! ?

Edward's said on Express and Star he is fed up with losing. Hello Mr Edward's we are all fed up with losing. Find a solution. I see Jimenez scored again.
1.) 28 Dec 2025 09:25:47
We shouldn’t have let Jimenez go. We ay had a decent striker since.
Then again we should have let Nuno go, we ay had a decent manager since.
We ay had a decent captain since Coady either.
When I say ‘We’ I mean ‘Fosun’ of course.
2.) 28 Dec 2025 13:08:39
Jimenez was sold due to his wages, Nuno was sacked for disagreeing with Jeff, he wanted tammy Abraham but Jeff decided silva was the better player, coady fell out with the club due to a contract extension being withdrawn, that was on lage, ruddy, saiss and boly all had the same.
The crux of the problem is the owners plain and simple, people think that we will just “bounce back” from the championship need to give their heads a wobble
20 Dec 2025 20:04:42
Whose is sick and tired of seeing the letter L alongside Wolves result column. I am. Unfortunately I don't see the pattern changing anytime soon. If you thought the Paul Joshua boxing fight was an embarrassment, Wolves are an embarrassment to the premier league.
Opposing teams don't have to play at their best to beat this woeful Wolves team. I would like to wish everyone a merry Xmas from New Zealand. Stay safe, keep the faith.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 21:37:46
The luckiest Premier club this season must be Newcastle United. They almost formed out 50mill plus for Larsen, boy would that have been an embarrassment for them. The seasons biggest mistake made by us when we turned their offer down.
2.) 20 Dec 2025 21:41:56
Don’t know about anyone else but I’ve gone passed the angry and emotional stages now and just become accepting of the situation.
On a positive note we are the only team to guarantee any team 3 points for Christmas. God bless us everyone!
3.) 20 Dec 2025 22:08:52
I have a feeling that Larsen wouldn’t be playing this badly if he had joined Newcastle Ray. Much like other players we’ve sold, the Wolves shirt recently seems to make players look a lot worse than they actually are.
Anyway I for one can’t wait for this year to end, I hope next year is more lucky for Wolves and myself. 2025 has been a challenge to say the least.
4.) 21 Dec 2025 08:22:20
Fingers crossed that the new year rings in some luck for our team. Starting to feel that Rob is just another VP. Have a safe and merry Christmas to all my fellows Wolf’s out there. Merry Christmas from Australia
10 Dec 2025 22:07:29
Wolves have already broken a club record this season, are they about to break another when they play Arsenal. The biggest league defeat against Arsenal 7-1 in 1932.
1.) 11 Dec 2025 08:34:22
Doc no.
Agree 8-0. Defeat on the horizon at least
But does depend on when arsenal score their first, as then our heads will go down,
Resaid some transfers needed in jan,
Whod have thought that
08 Dec 2025 22:05:55
Not that it could happen, I would like Wolves FC write to the FA requesting Wolves remaining league fixtures be canceled, all three points given the the opposition, accept relegation, start afresh next season. This season is an absolute nightmare.
08 Dec 2025 07:15:44
Here's how I think tonight's game will go. Wolves will hold their own for an hour or so. Concede a goal and capitulate. Man United don't want to be the first team to lose to Wolves.
1.) 08 Dec 2025 07:47:31
Here's how I think it will go.
They will start energetically but get nowhere and will start to get frustrated passing the ball sideways and backwards. The crowd will become more vociferous when they realise that they have paid good money to watch something akin to a pantomime performance and player confidence will evaporate.
Man Utd will recognise that we have fundamentally given up and will take control and begin scoring at will.
The fans will leave early. Last one out please switch off the lights.
2.) 08 Dec 2025 08:41:10
Just reading that a lot attending tonight won't be taking their seats for the first 15mins. What that will achieve I'm not sure, but its hardly getting the lads fired up and involved, or helping RE in his challenge to the team to up the intensity is it.?
I'm in the strange mood of wondering wether to lie in bed with the radio on, or watch it just out of curiosity and fear of missing something.
I just can't bear watching more dross and the frustration I felt v Forest.
I expect I'll assume the latter option, but I'm just not enthused, if I thought we'd lose 10-4, ok, but as it stands I can only see a 6-0, offering nothing.
So depressing to even post that on here.
3.) 08 Dec 2025 09:44:49
At a cost of £66 for the Man Utd Category A match for non season ticket holders in the BW stand, anyone who pays and then misses one sixth of the game is just donating money to Fosun.
Fosun have more money than all the fans combined and arriving 15 minutes late for the game will not alter their plans for the club.
4.) 08 Dec 2025 11:20:06
Our game plan is pretty simple guys.
1: Refuse to play the ball over the top for Jackson to chase (which he'll easily get to).
2: Don't pass to Arias and then blame him for not doing anything.
3: Insist on giving the ball to Toti who will look to slow the play and pass backwards.
4: Send on Hwang to pass the ball to the opposition and run around like a headless chicken.
5: Give Arokodare 2 minutes at the end of the game to try and snatch a consolation goal but don't allow any of our players into the opposition penalty area.
6: Lose 3-0 and Edwards to come out and say 'We're in a bad situation but we're working hard'
This will be repeated again on Saturday.
5.) 08 Dec 2025 15:15:55
This so ca!led playing out from the back was VPs way of play it but we don't have the players who can pass the ball exce pt backwards. Get punished most times and still they don't learn, just watch Toti . Really think tonight will see the final nail for us. Please RE let's have Sa back and no Whang
6.) 08 Dec 2025 15:44:35
I think 3 nil to the Mancs tonight and Cunha to score
7.) 08 Dec 2025 16:49:13
I'm fed up just reading and thinking of it. Just hope I'm not head butting the wall after 10 minutes.
Well for what it's worth, COYW
16 Apr 2024 02:04:17
I wonder if Man City Will consider a player exchange with Nunez returning.
24 Aug 2023 22:52:10
Not a rugby fan but thank you for your post.
01 Mar 2025 22:42:30
I wholeheartedly agree, for all his obvious skills, his discipline gets the better of him.
07 Mar 2023 01:25:38
Must of had an off day.
