According to Harry Mansell on YouTube, it was Guo who stepped in and sacked RE, overriding everyone at the Club.
Interesting comments from TalkSport panel, with Simon Jordan unsympathetic, and Brad Friedel saying that in football at this level, when a new manager signs a contract he's just one day closer to the sack.
1.) 11 Jun 2026 18:24:56
Interesting. Longmynd just reiterates what everyone is thinking, in that Nathan Shi has no authority, really, and it's still the same old Fosun epidemic. In reality, nothing changes there. Whatever Guo says, goes.
Simon Jordan is irrelevance personified, so who cares what he thinks.
Brad Friedel is spot on. Piexoto (Zenga 2), take note!
2.) 11 Jun 2026 18:30:53
My typo earlier, Kenny Jackett, not Kenny Hackett. Thanks Doog947 for correcting my mistake.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 18:43:49
Just asking, but which journalists or 'sources' do folks find most reliable? And, by contrast, which ones are not trustworthy at all?
4.) 11 Jun 2026 19:54:19
The best is David Ornstein and John Percy followed by Fabrizio.
Alex Crook and anything posted by Sport Witness I tend to ignore, as it's usually incorrect or 2 days old.
5.) 11 Jun 2026 20:39:03
Think it depends on where the player comes from, to be honest.
Fabrizio is pretty good on European targets, but slower on South American targets in the past.
Wolves are notoriously quiet on doing dealings, as they don't want to jeopardise the deal.
I would imagine someone at Gil Vicente or in Portugal took an easy pay day.
13 Nov 2025 09:09:54
So Wolves may be interested in Niclas Fulkrug of West Ham alongside Fulham according to Keith Wyness.
It would make sense as I'm pretty sure they intend to sell JSL at some point in the near future.
1.) 13 Nov 2025 11:15:41
Sorry LongmyndWolf he's more injured than Callum wilson which says a lot plus he's 32 no from me. Put something on went on to Banters page have a read.
2.) 13 Nov 2025 11:23:07
Fulkrug is absolutely useless, shockingingly average. So we'd be swapping a proven Prem player for one that's not up to it, so like you say makes sense buddy looking at our previous/current transfer strategy! ?
3.) 13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
4.) 14 Nov 2025 12:53:30
It is all so depressing .
I have been a Wolves fan since the 1960s
and apart from the Bhatti era I can't remember ma more depressing time to be a Wolves fan.
Fosun will hopefully dump us when we're relegated around March time.
Then hopefully we will get owner's who are not just interested in making money and to hell with football and the fans.
05 Nov 2025 21:00:11
Emmanuel Petit has suggested that Mourinho could be a potential candidate for the Wolves job.
His rational being that Mourinho himself said in October '24 after Fenerbahce he would like to take on a lower Premier League club who are nowhere near European competition, or words to that effect.
Now at Benfica where things aren't exactly working out for him, so.
I know so don't shoot the messenger.?
1.) 05 Nov 2025 21:26:05
Could mean massive compensation though Long, on top of salary expectations.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
3.) 05 Nov 2025 22:50:37
Mourinho wouldn't take crap from the players either, i'd have him at Wolves.
But as already pointed out by Arrdunby it would require high compensation and high salaries.
4.) 06 Nov 2025 06:19:26
Rated mate no way mourinho is well past his sell by date he's been sacked in his last 4 jobs I think.
5.) 06 Nov 2025 06:21:54
It feels like wishful thinking chaps.
Too rich an option for us. UNLESS, Fosun do look to bring in proper Senior Management at the top and a whole new approach taken.
6.) 06 Nov 2025 08:55:04
Rosenior.be a good shout I reckon
7.) 06 Nov 2025 12:43:51
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).
8.) 06 Nov 2025 14:29:10
Rob Edwards has emerged as the clear bookies' odds-on favourite overnight. He made a good attempt at keeping Luton in the PL and is doing very well with Middlesbrough, 3rd in the table. He surely wouldn't take the Wolves job if he wasn't confident he could keep us up.
9.) 06 Nov 2025 18:21:57
I would like to see Rob as our manager as long as fosun give him a chance to get us back up if we are relegated
Let's be honest .this wolves team are in a mess and whoever takes over will need a decent war chest.
14 Aug 2025 09:08:20
I see the Ben Doak link has resurfaced with Wolves and a couple of others interested.
Just 19 but plenty of potential especially as he's been 'raised' in UK football so no resettlement issues.
What do we think?
1.) 14 Aug 2025 09:32:43
He had a good first half of last season in championship then out injured. I've heard Liverpool want a very low buyback clause.
Would be an option off the bench but would having him compromise the development of Lopez?
2.) 14 Aug 2025 09:38:03
Apparently Carney Chukwuemeka is available from Chelsea for £12-15mil, again has had his injuries but seems to be past them.
3.) 14 Aug 2025 10:18:07
Be very suprised if oak came here. Our history and name means nothing anymore and shi said " if you want trophies " look elsewhere and doak probably will
{Ed001's Note - he is just looking to play regular first team football.}
4.) 14 Aug 2025 11:48:41
Kalimuendo set for Premier League move in coming days' Rennes have not commented on who the club is, player has agreed terms also, Ed’s what’s the chances this may be Wolves ??
5.) 14 Aug 2025 13:34:41
I like the look of Doak and Elliott played well in preseason.
Cb-Disasi
CM/CAM-Elliott
St-Fofana
FW-Doak
RWB-Sanchez (Still hasn't gone Napoli)
Questions over Elliott can cover in midfield and as a no 10 Vitor has said he wants this.
I know- why have I mentioned Sanchez he hasn't left Seville so I guess our offer is better than Napoli's?
Didn't realise Veiga has to be sold according to Chelsea so that probably does rule wolves out (at £35m) but maybe a loan and obligation next summer (Mendes client so worth watching).
6.) 14 Aug 2025 14:38:16
We've been offered LLoyd Kelly. I'm starting to think that on loan with a buy option isn't a bad idea, would probably be a starter and between him and Toti we'd have LB cover and be better equipped to switch to a 4 at the back if needed?
7.) 14 Aug 2025 15:15:30
Not against Lloyd Kelly MW.
What happened to the link with Mingueza?
Yes the pink hair lwb on Saturday when we played Vigo. ?
Thought he played well to be fair looked a step up on the other players on the pitch.
8.) 14 Aug 2025 15:26:17
Mingueza, good player but will only move for a champions league club and probably out of or price range
9.) 14 Aug 2025 16:31:21
Hmm suppose he wants to lay his claim for the WC spot.
Didn't realise he played rwb as well (as played in Nations League final)
Would a move to Wolves be that bad under Vitor?
Aghehowa is the same yes playing CL football is all well and good.
But you can develop so much more in the prem (if you have the character and technical ability).
Is staying at Celta Vigo and Porto better?
Apart from the weather and lifestyle. I do think from a professional stand point moving to the prem is far superior over what ever you do at either of those clubs.
Especially in your mid 20's. I remember we were linked with Kessie and Talisca in the past and thought why aren't they going for it? Suppose some players just don't fancy it.
As a player you put yourself on the world stage like Kerkez, Huijsen, MGW, Evanlison etc etc.
22 Jul 2025 18:30:36
Apparently Arias is in Paris for his medical. Wolves are doing it there while they await his UK visa.
He'll probably be here in a couple of days.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 19:48:12
I can see 4 more coming LB, CB, CM and FW.
Who would everyone like to come is the question?
LB: Lino, Reguilon
CB: Renan, Martins
CM: Gallagher, Raskin
FW: Elliott, Yuri Alberto, Aghehowa
Please note I think on top of these 4 signings I think there will be some loans coming in, as if Hwang, Guedes and possibly Silva are sold it would leave us short.
My reasoning for this is the signings above with Lopes and Arias literally replace the players that left at the end of the season: Dawson, RAN, Semedo, Sarabia and Cunha. This is before Doyle and Traore have since left.
So these signings are literally replenishing the squad before further sales can be made.
On another note there is a few players out there that may be tempting to make an offer on Diomande (Sporting), Victor Nelsson (Galatasaray) and Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) some a bit out there but links with Diomande and Akliouche. Nelsson isn't happy at Galatasaray.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 20:57:01
I agree Madman with the positions to fill and some good ideas there. Another forward to add to the mix is Garnacho, united have put a £40mil price tag on him, as we sold them cunha a deal could be made
3.) 23 Jul 2025 06:24:37
Stretch5 Garnacho is on big money at MU Wolves have no chance and not at 40mill.

Apparently City have been reported to the HMRC following an investigation into the Mancini double contract affair.
Allegedly the second contract was for a consultancy role with a football club from Abu Dhabi but the payments actually came from Man City. However City failed to apply tax and NI to these payments, but they did for his salary.
What a can of worms this has become as we seem to moving beyond just football into areas that may yet have legal and geo political repercussions.
1.) 03 Oct 2026 11:02:06
Now the news is that the UAE are putting pressure on our government (blackmail?). The promised investment in a new 'silicon valley' between Oxford and Cambridge may be withdrawn if Man City is punished. Call their bluff, let them invest elsewhere. Man City must take the rap.
2.) 03 Oct 2026 11:29:35
HMRC won't just tax the amount paid, they will gross it up so that the amount paid will be the net amount. since he will be a highest rate the unpaid tax will exceed the amount paid so on £9m will be upwards of £10m unpaid tax + interest + penalties. payable by the employer. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of crooks!
3.) 03 Oct 2026 13:09:42
Totally agree deep, if it's a profitable investment why would they withdraw?
4.) 03 Oct 2026 13:27:55
Also Deep, If City are innocent why would they feel the need to protect them in such a manner. These third party interventions now they've been judged to be guilty make it less likely the appeal will succeed, some of them already discounted by the panel as concocted.
Smacks of desperation to me.
5.) 03 Oct 2026 14:42:17
As well as desperation, Long, they're threatening to throw their toys out of the pram. Looking more and more guilty with everything they say. You'd think their expensive lawyers would advise them to remain silent, but my theory is that these arrogant owners have never been held to account before.
When the dust has settled, Citeh will be sold as the present owners are not fit and proper people to own a football club in this country. There will be so shortage of buyers regardless of which league Citeh will be playing in.
26 Sep 2026 06:10:59
One of the reasons Chelsea 'got away with it' a bit was because the new owners brought the leagues attention to issues from the Abramovich years, effectively pleading guilty.
City have consistently denied all wrong doing, still do and have failed to cooperate with the Leagues enquiry accruing legal bill's for themselves and the League totally about £100M.
It took Man Utd 60 years to build their brand and get to where they did but City a smaller club did it in about 7 years. It's been obvious for years what's been going on and you have to wonder if any legal action will come from other clubs in Europe who also lost out in European competitions, especially as UEFA have now been proven right as well.
Draconian punishment is not only needed in this case now but City could find themselves in court for years to come. Trophies may not get rescinded but they'll certainly be diminished and tainted by this scandal.
1.) 26 Sep 2026 09:39:50
We were saying in the pub last night, this could potentially ruin Man City as a club and business. I know it's doubtful they'll get the maximum punishments, but IF they did, fines, points docked, relegation, it could literally be the end of the club as it is now.
I think it was Thefutureisgold, who made a very valid point (as always) about the players, their salaries and contracts. We all know they'll fight it, and it will drag on through appeals.
People are saying they'll successfully appeal against the findings, but a while back, some of these same people were saying the charges wouldn't stick. This could all end up very very interesting, and not just affect City. I imagine a lot of clubs here, not just premier teams, and clubs across Europe will be awaiting the final outcome, with their legal teams ready on speed dial. Interesting times ahead, but worrying times for city fans.
2.) 26 Sep 2026 09:45:30
It has been a long wait, whilst it was obvious to so many that something was amiss at City. To achieve such ongoing success from humble beginnings where traditional big clubs struggled to compete with them. Now at last we can say they cheated their way to success.
Cheats must not prosper or everything becomes devalued. Punishment must be severe, or say goodbye to any semblance of equality in football. The game becomes a cheat's playground. They are forever tainted as the cheating club, Manchester Cheaty.
25 Aug 2026 07:29:46
I wonder if CP will field a strong team tonight. I hope so, Wednesday are decent?
If he does, I'll say 3-1 to us.
1.) 25 Aug 2026 12:38:31
I imagine it'll be a bit mix and match, Longmynd.
It'll be interesting to see if Santi or Kreiji get an appearance.
Lima maybe, Sa getting time in?
Chirawa (spelling, sorry) up front?
Wolfe? It'll be interesting to see who CP goes with, but, whatever, another decent win to keep the momentum is important.
2.) 25 Aug 2026 14:51:25
I'm interested to see if Hugo starts again (hope so!), or if Slow Traore gets minutes, as there have been rumours of him leaving. It would be an ideal match to play Sasa in if he was to stay.
23 Aug 2026 18:10:40
Listened to the game against PNE and watched the highlights and several things are apparent.
CP's attacking philosophy seems to be developing nicely as that could have been 5.
The team seem genuinely engaged and enthusiastic, especially Fer Lopez often leading both the charge and the celebrations. Our new talisman player, no doubt.
CP is delivering on his promises upon arrival to instill his methods and disciplines into the players. I't didn't see many sideways or backwards passing in that game.
Now I know some will say that PNE weren't great and that was reflected in the ebb and flow of the game and the score, but that is also encouraging. Remember when we used to beat the top sides then lose to the also rans?
We need these games early on to build confidence, team spirit and cohesion ahead of the tougher challenges ahead. So well done for that performance. Let's hope that they build on it.
1.) 23 Aug 2026 20:12:27
What's important though, mate, is we finally broke our not winning away hoodoo. We hadn't won away for over a year until yesterday. This result, I think, is going to be a huge boost in confidence.
2.) 24 Aug 2026 08:11:48
Anyone know much about Brian Medina.
Cb, left footed.
3.) 24 Aug 2026 08:13:15
Brayan Medina, sorry.
13 Aug 2026 15:48:34
Wolves TV have produced a piece on the website and YouTube called 'Peixoto the story so far'. Apparently, he was a bit of a playboy as a player but highly rated nevertheless.
As a manager, it seems to be 'my way or the highway,' demanding an energetic forward passing game from the players. Music to my ears, so he has my backing, but I just hope Fosun keep up.
30 Sep 2026 16:35:44
Just a thought tfiog if City have been falsifying their accounts, a) Won't Companies House be interested? b) If they have conspired to deceive isn't that much worse in the eyes of the law?
13 Nov 2025 14:48:46
Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.
05 Nov 2025 22:21:09
Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?
31 Oct 2025 11:42:25
Does it matter who they get in if VP goes Rated. Who ever it is they will go the same way in 12 months time as the previous 6 after Shi/Fosun have decimated their squad next Summer.
Buy in a couple of has been's in January, a bit off new Manager bounce, hopefully survive, then repeat. Pathetic!
27 Oct 2025 10:14:43
I think that should be 'ruining of the Club' Rugeley.
10 Oct 2026 08:03:36
Misplaced optimism or opinions not facts Blackfords, either way even if Jimenez doesn't, I hope Lopez starts today as he's central to this team, no doubt.
03 Oct 2026 13:27:55

01 Oct 2026 21:55:54
Further to that I see that Downing Street has issued a further statement, damage limitation I think it's called, pretty much reversing his earlier comments.
And they accuse others of lacking political experience.
01 Oct 2026 18:29:50
Blackfords the thought never crossed my mind ? but I must admit he was unwise to even comment, now he's put himself in the firing line if that did happen.
Incidentally, because of his work for the Abu Dhabi government the chairman of City has diplomatic immunity so cannot be prosecuted.
Interesting times no doubt Deep, there might yet be a queue. What a mess.
