Simon Jordan on Talksport said he does not think Larsen is a good footballer. I hope Larsen proves the critics wrong. He did score some good goals for Wolves. I wish him luck.
1.) 04 Feb 2026 03:14:26
Personally I hope he flops, bad attitude and numerous times had pops at fans too.
2.) 04 Feb 2026 08:38:05
One of the reasons we’re in this position. Fully agree Rated.
3.) 04 Feb 2026 09:23:15
No longer a Wolves player, don’t give a damm about Larson anymore
4.) 04 Feb 2026 10:04:40
Throws his toys out the pram after failed Newcastle move and wasn't a committed Wolves player after that. He's the only c forward I've ever seen that doesn't jump for a ball he is also the laziest just constantly walking around the pitch. After watching player's like bull. Dougan. Blake.
Mclmoyle. Curran. Wignall. Gray and of course king john well larson couldn't lace their boots. One premier goal all season but you can bet your grannies best tea set he'll score against us on 22nd of this month and then kiss the palace badge on his shirt. nah he ain't wolves, and I hope he fails miserably.
5.) 04 Feb 2026 10:35:04
It's a no-win situation for Larsen. Seemingly a panic buy by Palace, just like Newcastle attempted last summer. At £48mil he must score, and score well. It's expected, so no win there. On the other hand, if he doesn't.!
6.) 04 Feb 2026 12:51:46
Personally I hope he flops on his backside, I don’t get this love in for players when they have made it clear they no longer want to be at wolves, ie Larsen, cuhna, Neto, Adama.
Neves for example never wanted to go but knew the club needed the money ( even though that season Jeff gave himself a 62% pay rise!) so I have nothing but good feelings towards the guy.
7.) 04 Feb 2026 14:05:38
Great money for an average striker who didn't want to fight for the wolves!
Edward's has said Armstrong really wanted to join the club so hopefully he can score a few goals he has said himself he will give 100% every time he puts on the shirt
8.) 04 Feb 2026 16:02:25
100% Agree with you De Wolf. If players don't want to be here, get rid of them.
I think over the summer I think we'll see Agbadou (if he isn't sold sooner to Turkey) Jose Sa and Andre all pushing for a move. But I'd rather have Toti (who I don't rate), Munetsi, Boubacar Traore and Sasa back as at least they want to be here.
17 Feb 2024 19:47:46
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
7.) 04 Mar 2024 15:21:57
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! ?

You have to feel sorry for VP.Treated badly by Forest after helping them retain priemership status. Thank you but so long.No loyalty anymore.
1.) 03 Jul 2026 09:08:28
Maybe they don't trust him with the transfer window. Glasner going there from Palace is a shock, though. After what he's achieved at Palace, it seems at best a sideways step.
2.) 03 Jul 2026 09:36:16
Agreed, Acle. I think sideways step is actually generous, as Palace seem to have a far better set up in place. Forest, however, do like chucking money at people. Remember when they miraculously poached Edu from Arsenal? Fair play to Glasner, but for a man that was wanted by Bayern at one point, you can't help but feel like he's sold out a bit.
Then Forest will be crying foul when they are hit with PSR again. It would seem that cheaters do in fact proper. Nothing new there then, eh, Man City. ?
3.) 03 Jul 2026 10:56:52
I believe they avoided a payout by emailing him a few minutes before an agreement to leave for nothing expired. So that was about saving money in this instance.
4.) 03 Jul 2026 11:26:40
It does seem a strange move for Glasner as Forest seem to have worked through close to 10 managers in as many years.
5.) 03 Jul 2026 11:54:08
I can only imagine he is looking for a sacking and a payoff, given the owner's track record.
6.) 03 Jul 2026 12:05:35
Astonishing turn of events at Forest. VP did a good job keeping them up. At 11.58pm on 30th June, they sacked him by email without compensation, as midnight on 30th June was the cut-off for such a clause in his contract.
Maybe, by the letter of the law, they were entitled, but what a disreputable way to go about it. Glasner is taking a hell of a chance working with the Sheriff of Nottingham!
7.) 03 Jul 2026 12:09:40
I think VP will be happy with the millions in his bank. He's no one's fool. Just like Rob Edwards taking the Watford job, knowing full well a nice pay off is around the corner. There are far too many second-rate coaches going from club to club with only one ambition: boosting their bank balances.
Obviously Rob Edwards wanted the Wolves job, but he wasn't good enough. The minute he came in, I said to a fellow Wolves fan that he wouldn't be in the job for long. He was another Jeff Shi disaster.
I think there's a serious issue within football where coaches know they're not going to succeed at a particular club, but they take a head coach job for no other reason than monetary gain.
They don't care about the circumstances under which they leave, because another job isn't too far away.
As for Glasner, he should have got a decent move upon leaving Palace - he is a genuinely decent coach - but it hasn't materialised. His career at Forest won't last long, purely because the owner is a fruitcake. Glasner probably knows this. Probably why he's taken the job.
8.) 03 Jul 2026 12:45:02
Financially foolish of clubs to hire head coaches with expensive sacking clauses in their contracts. If it goes poorly to start, where is the incentive for the coach to succeed when a big payout for the sack is the easier option? Eventually, such a head coach should, in theory, be unemployable, but they all seem to snap up new jobs regardless.
I wish that I could have made a fortune in my career by being sacked all the time. At this level, football is out of touch with the real world.
9.) 03 Jul 2026 14:04:49
Yeah Bully, I was being kind to Forest. Didn't want to call them a smaller club, even if right now Palace are the more successful one.
The rules for ownership in football should be that PSR isn't a thing. However, if the club racks up huge debts and faces liquidation, the owner is liable for all debt and the club is protected for the fans. I'm not sure how it could work, but preventing clubs spending creates a closed shop to the detriment of fans, and letting owners spend silly money and walk away with a club folding or dropping down the leagues like Portsmouth did also lets the fans down.
Would also be good to be able to see some of the sacking clauses in these coaching contracts and what the full costs really are to the clubs.
10.) 03 Jul 2026 19:29:35
I think it has something to do with everyone thinking Premier League experience is more important thwn Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or other leagues experience.
It's going to cost you to be a British bigot.
11.) 04 Jul 2026 00:20:02
I don't feel sorry for VP. He's a millionaire & took us to the cleaners.
15 Jun 2026 23:15:44
There has been some posts regarding Traore. He certainly wasn't the most consistent Wolves player. Who remembers his two goal brace against Man City a few seasons ago. On his good day, very hard to stop. If he returned he would be a handful for some Championship defenders.
1.) 16 Jun 2026 16:29:59
He's past it. It's time our fans stopped pining for ex players to return (except Neves, of course) and move on.
2.) 16 Jun 2026 17:29:20
Have to agree, Rates buddy, it feels like the scouting team have opened up a saved document from 2018 and are working their way through the list from back then!
As a club, we need to start a whole new chapter and start creating some new heroes, nice to have Raul back but that's enough reunions for one window. ?
3.) 18 Jun 2026 22:41:18
Rated and Bb, totally understand what you are saying, but if Ran, Neto and Cunha came on season-long loans, I wouldn't mind?
11 Jun 2026 22:06:42
I do feel sorry for Edwards, he could have stayed at Middlesboro and maybe got promotion. Instead he joined Wolves who at that time were winless and certain for relegation. Inherited a poor squad and didn't win the fans over with his style of play.
08 Jun 2026 02:09:05
It's a shame Doherty is leaving. He could be a good squad member for Wolves in the Championship. My best moment for me was his winning goal against Man City.
1.) 08 Jun 2026 09:42:20
Mixed emotions about Doc. Would be valuable in the Champ no doubt, but I think there is more to this than meets the eye (or ear). When he left for Spurs, he seemed to burn his bridges behind him. Just now, he has deleted his Wolves' social media posts, if reports are correct.
Whatever, Wolves did very well out of him, considering that Mick signed him from Ireland by chance for what, £80K? He was PL player of the month during our Nuno glory days.
2.) 08 Jun 2026 10:25:03
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.
3.) 08 Jun 2026 13:52:34
Doc was a good player who peaked beautifully under Nuno. At his age now, with his fitness levels, Wolves can't give him a new contract out of loyalty. It could be argued that Wolves shouldn't have re-signed him - it smacked of desperation and (a form of) nepotism. He's had a few brief moments at rcb, but other than that, Wolves have been paying him handsomely for doing very little.
He could be half-decent in the Championship if he played at rcb, but how many games will he play and how much money will he want? Laters, Doc, thanks for good times.
24 May 2026 21:43:30
End of a woeful season. Goodbye premiership. My reflection: how did Wolves win three league games, draw against Arsenal yet collect just two points against the three promoted teams. Race form would read: Wolves started slow, never recovered, always toiling in the bottom three, finished last.
It will be an interesting close season at Molineux.
1.) 25 May 2026 06:43:55
Well, a very poor season. In truth, I felt it was over before it started.
Shi, yet again, hesitated on signings, then left it too late to authorise, and players lost. Then the joke of signing players at the end of the window, Periera had never wanted!
So, a dysfunctional squad from Day 1. No wonder he walked.
The re-build has to begin from here.
2.) 25 May 2026 09:09:00
What a tale of woe these last few years have been, frankly, one of arrogance, ignorance, but above all a total lack of judgement. Fosun edict over transfer policy - fail, Jeff Shi's implementation of that policy - fail.
The belief that you can run a football club at this level like any other business - fail (even the HMRC recognise they are different).
The belief that you can continuously sell off your best players to raise the money to keep the doors open - mega fail.
The expectation that managers/coaches can be successful within that framework - fail.
My question is: where did that lack of judgement emanate from? Did Fosun say 'you must do this,' and everyone, with the exception of Lopetegui, followed it slavishly while knowing it would eventually fail? Or was it someone cost-cutting to score browny points from HQ?
3.) 25 May 2026 10:23:44
For me, our season is summed up as follows:
"We started out with nothing and we've still got most of it." ? ? ?
4.) 26 May 2026 08:28:47
That team that got relegated to Div 4 had more about them than this lot. As for Edwards, well, it's absolutely baffling me as to what he's trying to do. I don't see any balance or style of play. He's not better than Saunders.
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.
12 May 2026 02:11:56
If SHi #1 doesn't put his finger in the pie, maybe there is some hope.
20 Apr 2026 23:32:19
Why blame Nuno.
12 Mar 2026 07:55:35
Yes, Wellington Phoenix vs Auckland FC. 5-0 to Auckland.
08 Feb 2026 01:38:40
I agree Oxleymoorwolf. I have supported Wolves for decades, through good and bad. This is bad. I just hope Wolves reach 20 points for the season.
01 Mar 2025 22:42:30
I wholeheartedly agree, for all his obvious skills, his discipline gets the better of him.
