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! ?

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.
17 May 2026 21:45:46
Wolves had a little momentum going prior to the international break. Since then, two points, two goals. Perhaps mentally some players never returned from the break. Anyone at the Fulham game would have thought Wolves were the away team, just 31% possession. Wolves may have beaten the worst points accumulated in the league, but are the worst team in the league performance-wise.
1.) 18 May 2026 08:34:40
Rob Edwards, is he in cloud cuckoo land, going on about building a platform from Sunday's game? Does he realise we looked good, but we were against a very poor Fulham side who ain't firing on all cylinders. I know Rob loves our club, but if he loves us so much, do the right thing and leave.
I don't think he will do any good in the Championship, we need a good clearout from top to bottom.
I think if West Ham are relegated, I don't think Nuno will be there. Wouldn't it be nice if he returns and the likes of Neves, Saiss and Jimenez return.
2.) 18 May 2026 10:40:51
Nuno will probably be sacked. I would welcome him back at Wolves, not just for sentiment, but because he is a fine coach and a great human being. He gave about a quarter of a million quid to a local Midlands' charity, I believe, when at Wolves.
If Nathan Shi is serious, the obvious thing to do is to restart that famous project of a decade ago, which was totally botched by Jeff. Next month is the tenth anniversary of the Fosun takeover. Nathan could make it a happy one for us.
3.) 18 May 2026 12:14:51
Nuno Nuno Nuno.
12 May 2026 22:51:23
Relief for Edwards, Middlesboro not playing in premiership next season.
1.) 13 May 2026 10:47:58
No, but they'll take 6 points off us.
11 May 2026 22:14:14
VP guided Forest to Premiership safety, helped by an unbeaten run of six games. Similar to our six game winning sequence last season under VP. That would have helped Wolves this season.
1.) 12 May 2026 03:05:26.
VP is part of the reason we're in this mess.
2.) 12 May 2026 08:26:29
Wait until he's had a transfer window or clashes with the Forest owner. A lot of the dross signed in the summer were supposedly his decisions, and most have been moved on already, as have his previous January signings.
We've ended up no better off under Edwards, but let's not think that VP was going to turn it around at Wolves.
3.) 12 May 2026 10:49:34
VP is a prize pillock who kept Wolves in the Premier League because of JSL, Cunha, RAN, and Gomes, Andre and Munetsi at the top of their game. All the fixtures towards the end of the season fell in his favour: Also had two seriously gash teams go down, leaving him with only one relegation place to worry about. EVERYTHING fell for him.
Pre season and this season exposed him for why he is. The 'Leadership Group'. He's a secondhand car dealer masquerading as a football coach. Absolute ******.
4.) 12 May 2026 12:24:13
VP is a chancer and definitely not an elite PL head coach. He was simply lucky to take over a Wolves squad containing some exceptional players. He never stays anywhere very long as he gets found out. First the points, then the slump, then the payoff.
5.) 12 May 2026 13:11:30
I'm not sure the players signed were VP's decisions. In fact, from what was reported, not a single player signed was VP's first choice, or even second for that matter. I am genuinely interested to see what happens with him next year at Forest, to see if he is found out, or if, like every manager before him, Jeff was in fact the real problem in that scenario.
Sacking Hobbs for Tetti looks beyond stupid, and yes, Tetti was VP's man, but that decision was still Jeff's to make, and it was a very poor decision.
6.) 12 May 2026 15:13:22
I heard that the only player VP actually wanted was Jhon Arias. I also read that Tolu was not on VP's shopping list, but Jeff thought it best; anyone was better than no one. The problem is that VP and Edwards are head coaches. They provide the type of player they want, and the scouting/recruitment team find someone who fits and then presents them to the head coach, who then says Yay or nay.
A manager, on the other hand, identifies the players himself and then gets the scouts to compile the reports.
09 May 2026 21:16:07
My late father said to me, be a good loser, be patient. I have severely been tested this season. Another away loss, thirteen so far, seven goals scored, five points. So depressing. How long will it be before we see the words Mighty Wolves or Wonderful Wolves again.
I used to predict Wolves scores, not anymore. I will predict a massive player clearout at the end of the season. Two games left. Getting points doable, likely to happen doubtful.
1.) 09 May 2026 22:05:13
Unfortunately, we have to accept the position we are in.
We don't have to accept the following:
A crap manager.
Crap assistants.
Crap players.
Crap performances.
Crap owners.
Each and every one of us, either by going to matches or buying shirts, etc., pays for this rubbish.
What on earth can we do?
Sitting and watching it happen is heartbreaking, to say the least.
I'm not too ashamed to say I'm tearful.
Like all of you, I love this club.
How on earth has it come to this?
2.) 09 May 2026 22:29:01
Well, they won't get any money off me until Fosun are gone. We need to start mass protests against them.
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.
