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.
15 Jun 2025 12:18:50
An interesting news item on EPL Index claiming that Fer Lopez 21 is still playing on his reserve team contract which means Wolves will only have to pay £20M for him not the £40M release clause in his first team contract.
Allegedly their Sporting Director decided not to promote him to the first team squad yet.
Apparently, Celta Vigo are powerless to stop the transfer as the player has agreed terms with Wolves so presumably wants the move. Only outstanding issue are the stage payment details, which Mendes will get resolved so if he pulls this off he's earning his corn already.
This may well be true as I couldn't see Wolves paying £40M for an untested but highly rated youngster can you?
1.) 15 Jun 2025 14:47:07
Fer Lopez is currently on holiday with Strand Larson, they’re very good friends, have been for quite a while. Obviously JSL has had a good word in his shell like, and sold the club, set up, manager and fans to him. This really looks like a very good signing, the Celta Vigo fans are going ballistic at losing him, not just at the reduced price, they’re very angry with the club for letting him leave
2.) 15 Jun 2025 15:21:03
I agree with everyone who's had an opinion but my concern is there has still been no mention of a medical.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 19:05:31
What.another silva signing.we need players whobare ready NOW.wev lost 30 goals with cunha and ran leaving.so we spend all this money on a kid whose hardly played at the top level whol start on the bench.do we ever learn?.this does not bode well for future signings if wer going down this route.obviously we wer never really in for elliot
4.) 15 Jun 2025 21:19:13
Just remind me how old AIT, Jota, Neves and Gomes were when they signed for us.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 21:39:41
Nice one WS, there's so much negativity on here.
Personally, I think we'll sign some proper players and our team will be stronger than last season. Players that will improve over time and give us an exciting season.
UTW
6.) 15 Jun 2025 22:40:55
Wandering - As Arddunby states below they, (in fact all of the ones you mentioned), cost a fair bit less and were an awful lot more experienced, which of course is exactly my point, so thanks!
As I state I have never seen him play - although given he has virtually never played senior football I doubt too many of us have - but am willing to take a balanced view that our recruitment team have and rate him highly.
However to be so blasé about the clear and obvious risk in this transfer given our parlous state beggars belief.
Tim we haven't got time for them to improve! These players, the ones we are spending Euro 20m + on, have to hit the ground running. We, for financial reasons, can't buy more than a handful of players at these prices but may well need something like a dozen or so new bodies. If Lopez costs over Euro 20m and is not one of the nailed on starters then we may find ourselves needing to find one in the bargain bucket - a far tougher task.
7.) 15 Jun 2025 23:29:44
TFIOG there's always a risk with players pretty sure a risk on an £18m is part and parcel of the prem these days.
On the flip side we could have signed Neves, Jota and Co and they just didn't fancy a Tuesday night at stoke or playing in the British winter as some papers were hoping.
I trust the club after 7 seasons of prem football and Vitor to get a squad together. Sale of some players that have stayed with us 3-5 years we can't complain with that.
And PSR is supposed to be less stringent for us anyway.
8.) 16 Jun 2025 07:51:06
Transfer fees have gone up on average 13.8% over the last 10 or so years, so whilst I appreciate that Jota and Neves etc were cheaper when we bought them, what would they cost in todays market?
9.) 16 Jun 2025 08:43:15
Madman - good response.
Of course there are risks in all transactions but some have more than others. An experienced player from the same league being at the low end and an inexperienced player from overseas being at the high end.
Normally this would be reflected in the price, the so called British Premium, but it appears we are paying a relatively high price for a player at the high end of the scale.
Hopefully what this means is that he is indeed a v special player - but that is exactly what we were told re Fabio!
Re trust obviously it was well merited under Nuno but since then, although we obviously have signed some diamonds, we have had a more patchy record. Last summer most of the players signed did not make the contribution we will be requiring from this year's crop.
Fortunately it is not the club that we have to trust as I am not sure that what that means - surely not Jeff - but Vitor and his team who to date have done enough to deserve some slack.
However as I stated it is impossible to get all transfers right and one could argue that of his 3 signings Djiga, Munetsi and Emmanuel only the latter looks like a nailed on starter.
Despite your comment on PSR we simply cannot afford a 1 in 3 hit rate if we are paying Euro20m + a time.
aken a battering over
10.) 16 Jun 2025 09:37:37
Wandering You can obtain your answer by simple Maths. Take their transfer fees and increase by 13.8%, (although neither were bought as far back as ten years ago).
You will find that, as stated, although both were far more experienced both were, especially if the fee is more than the initial Euro 20m postulated, a lot cheaper. So thanks for the clarification.
11.) 16 Jun 2025 11:44:59
TFIOG, just for info. Diogo Jota had made 78 appearances for all clubs before he joined us aged 20 years 6 months
Ruben Neves had made 59 appearances before he joined us aged 20 years 3 months
Fer Lopez has made 77 appearances and is 21 years and 1 month.
12.) 16 Jun 2025 12:03:50
Wandering I think you'll find the majority of those are for celta de vigo ii or RC Celta Fortuna the reserve side and not la liga or other Tier 1 appearences.
13.) 16 Jun 2025 12:44:53
OK. Good point. In that case he's made 17 appearance compared to Jotas 27 (I've disregarded the appearances he made for Pacos de Ferreira in the lower leagues)
But then, AIT only had 23 appearances for Angers before he joined us.
The point is, why are we judging Lopez before he's even set foot in the doors?
14.) 16 Jun 2025 13:37:43
Bit of calm required folks but the piece on Sky Sports about him makes very interesting and promising reading.
15.) 16 Jun 2025 16:34:43
Jota played 41 matches for pacos de fereira in 2014- 2016, they were a Portuguese tier 1 club at the time. He then played 27 times for porto on loan from athletico Madrid prior to joining WWFC on loan.
16.) 16 Jun 2025 18:06:57
Cheers TFIOG it wasn't a dig at your opinion. Just stating there is a risk with all deals. The signings from January could have flopped. Everyone goes on about Fabio Silva but in his first season he actually didn't do too bad but was being compared to Raul who was in the top 10 strikers in Europe before his injury.
We have wasted money on Bueno, Cutrone, Guedes, Nunes, Sasa, Silva, Traore over the past few seasons.
Say wasted sometimes life gets in the way with the death of his dad in Cutrones case. Rip Guedes was signed as a false 9 but is definitely a winger. Nunes probably struggled with the physicality first 3 months or so but technically ever good. Etc etc etc.
So I'm with Old Wulf get behind them let's see what happens we aren't in the market for stupidly expensive players that are moving for the money. ODCL

12 May 2026 18:13:55.
An interesting point in the Club's statement announcing Nathan Shi's permanent appointment was that 'he will answer directly to the Fosun Board'.
1) Does that cut Jeff Shi completely out of the picture?
2) Does that mean Fosun do care what happens to the Club and will hold him to account?
3) Does that mean that Fosun are backing him giving his encouraging words more credence?
4) Does his comment “Our focus now is on strengthening the club, building momentum and creating a team and environment that our supporters can be proud of” also hint at ground improvements?
Maybe I'm putting 2 and 2 together to make 5 but I do find this Shi much more credible than the last one.
He doesn't say much but what he does say seems to tick the boxes. Time will tell I suppose as it's all just words if Fosun aren't sincere.
1.) 12 May 2026 19:38:38
I don't want to disparage what the new CEO said, but I'm reminded of the answer by Mandy Rice-Davies in the Old Bailey trial at the heart of the Profumo scandal in the 1960s. When it was put to her that Lord Astor denied sleeping with her, she said:
"Well, he would, wouldn't he."
2.) 13 May 2026 06:12:00
Long, as you say, it is reported that Shi 2 will report directly to the main Fosun Board...... phew! So, clearly for me, blame for the last few years lies squarely on Shi 1's shoulders.
The words from the Club are encouraging, eg only 6 from the current squad to be retained.... but who knows?
09 May 2026 21:24:36
Everyone has completely given up for this season, although some of us realised this was starting to happen some time ago. The damage done to our squad by Jeff Shi / Fosun is immense and we are now reaping the much-predicted consequences. In my opinion the appointment of Re is just a further symptom of that and nothing that's happening now comes as any surprise. Although it makes no sense, I think they had one eye on the Championship when they appointed him. Did they really just mess up (again) or did they just accept the inevitable months ago? I believe the latter, which is outrageous if true.
Clueless throughout and frankly after spending the entire season in 20th place thoroughly deserve to be relegated. As a Wolves fan of 60 years that really hurts to say, but it's true. Will we see a complete overall over the summer, well yes, because most of this lot will be moved on as they and Re deserve to be. However, do we trust them to even get that right? I'm not so sure as it stands we will have to rely on those that lead us here to get us back up.
1.) 09 May 2026 23:16:03
I've been watching Wolves as long as you have, and thought I'd experienced it all, but I can't help that this was so avoidable. For Fosun to buy the club, and put serious investment in, then leave a complete clown and control freak in charge, is breathtakingly bad.
I am hoping (forlorn hope?) that the WM forum on Tuesday evening will give us some confidence on the way forward for next season, so far it's the only hope we have.
2.) 10 May 2026 07:54:12
If we are going to see a serious attempt at returning to the prem and to a club to be recognised, we need plans and targets to be announced as soon as possible.
If Shi II and Fosun intend to show confidence in RE, say so. If they intend to finance a suitable squad, say so. If they intend to bring the Mol up to date, say so.
Be open in their ambition, or lack of it.
If it's the latter, then our supporters can start to take whatever suitable actions are needed to get rid of this shambles of an ownership.
Whichever course of actions come about, we need a total reset, a total rebuild as soon as the season's over so that we all know where we are, where we're aiming to go, and have any chance of survival.
Our 150th year. Are we going to plan a party or be looking at no happy returns?
Fosun, Shi and Shi II, you've got the answers (if we can trust them).
3.) 10 May 2026 09:27:50
RE keeps saying a lot of hard work has taken place since January for next season.
Can he be clear on what exactly he is referring to? All I can see is they bought Armstrong for next season and that's it.
Please explain concisely and clearly so all fans understand.
4.) 10 May 2026 09:58:19
Just as Long and Barton, I have been a Wolves fan for decades, so experienced a lot!
Maybe it is my age, but this season has been one of the most depressing.
After a brilliant first 3 seasons under Fosun and local management (Dalrymple and team), to then remove most of them and give Shi total responsibility was madness.
I know the season was over long ago, but to watch most players put in such a lack luster performances was depressing.
I can only hope there will be a Brave New World starting during the summer...
5.) 10 May 2026 15:41:20
Our frustrated thoughts are being posted on here in the hope someone upstairs at Wolves is reading them. We are all delusional and living in hope. Hope that out of darkness cometh light. Where's that silver lining we all sing about?
01 May 2026 17:27:55
Much discussion on here about Re's abilities, in particular a) his failure to keep us up, albeit with a worse squad. B) His ability to get us promoted back to the Prem, at the first attempt.
However, a further concern will be the quality of the rebuilt squad and Fosun's approach to future recruitment if we do get promotion.
Have they really learnt their lesson or will we see a slide back into their failed transfer policy that lead us to this.
Was that a Jeff or a Fosun policy or just the blind leading the blind? Time will tell I suppose but if Fosun won't change their ways we'll be up and down like yoyos and what's the point of that?
1.) 01 May 2026 17:57:05
So, Edwards believes the players are giving their all. Is he deluded?
He can't even set the team up correctly from a kick off.
Fingers crossed he moves on.
And I know what will be said.
Who would come in?
But, like it's already been said.
Come a month or two in.
And we're bottom tier next season.
They get rid, then it's too late for anyone to
put it right.
We need the right gaffer from get go.
Next season.
2.) 01 May 2026 19:19:24
If Fosun don't change their ways, LongmyndWolf, I don't even think we will be yoyos, at least not as far as the PL is concerned. That would imply at least a season back in the PL. If they don't change their ways, maybe down to League One and back up again, rinse and repeat.
3.) 01 May 2026 19:25:35
Get Frank in now. Get rid of the crap and R.E. Go back to the model when we were last in the Championship. Nuno in charge. Players who we'd never heard of but were way above Championship level, Neves, Jota, Patricio, etc etc etc.
Oh hang on, seems like Mendes has done one and we're left out to sink. We'll be playing Crewe again soon. ? ? ? ? ?
22 Apr 2026 20:13:50
B'hill, your point about focusing funds on managerial and team development is well made.
However, ground redevelopment, funded by Fosun, would be an indication of their sincerity and revitalised ambition to grow the club and improve the facilities.
It would surely underpin the statements coming out of the Club of late. I won't hold my breath.
1.) 23 Apr 2026 09:53:21
The one issue concerning the potential redevelopment of the Molineux stadium is Fosun will probably say - something that Jeff Shi has already said - that there is plenty of big clubs with not very good stadiums.
I personally feel that Jeff Shi's penny pinching has left Wolves in a situation where the Molineux might be okay now, but in a few years it's going to be in an appalling state.
The Steve Bull is more than fifty years old; the Billy Wright is starting to look and feel outdated, and the less said about the Graham Hughes stand the better. The North Bank might be new(ish) but unless the rest of the stadium is refurbished with that stand in mind then it will eventually have to be knocked down. That's the real issue: if Fosun has real plans for the Molineux then the North Bank will probably have to come down.
*I don't know about the South Bank as it's been 30 years since I've sat there.
12 Apr 2026 19:22:30
I think most of us could see how this season would end given our downward spiral over the last few years and we all know why.
However, hands up those who expected Spurs to be increasingly likely to join us? Cue media meltdown if it happens.
1.) 12 Apr 2026 20:48:52
The table does seem to confirm that the teams that are run by egotistical people tend to suffer. Us, Spurs, West Ham and Forest all being near the lower reaches of the table proves this.
2.) 13 Apr 2026 08:18:06
I did watch some of the Spurs' game; for them to be in danger of relegation is ridiculous. They do like to dive and cheat, though. I think most teams do these days.
3.) 13 Apr 2026 09:59:11
At the start of the season, I would never have believed that Spurs might go down. Good's point above, that clubs run by egotistical people tend to suffer, equally applies to countries! This seems to be the year that chickens come home to roost.
4.) 13 Apr 2026 10:02:10
A supposed Big Six club in recent years has always been a bad season away. You only have to look at the middle of the league to see how competitive the middle of the league has become.
I thought we'd finish 14th this season with a couple of experienced last-minute additions in August.
Once that didn't happen, we were in trouble. Then, losing to the 3 promoted teams early on, those 9 points lost put the nails in the coffin.
5.) 13 Apr 2026 10:13:33
With the record of Rob Edwards in the Premier League, can anyone out there believe that if he was at any other club he would still be in a job? I can't believe he's still there. Unbelievable.
6.) 13 Apr 2026 10:46:58
Edwards should not have been appointed. However, a lot of the signings from the previous two windows weren't good enough, and he isn't responsible for that. Also, keep in mind, supposedly the club tried to get GoN first, and there weren't many other takers.
If it's true, Robbie Keane and Allardyce were interested, they would have been better options, albeit for different reasons. Even if Big Sam was a short-term thing until the summer.
Right now, we have a manager who wants to be here, but shouldn't be, who is supposed to be long-term. Getting rid before the summer raises even more questions about the running of the club.
The failures are all down to one thing: recruitment, top to bottom. Too many square pegs in round holes, and people with little to no football experience in the key roles, including the manager.
7.) 13 Apr 2026 13:01:30
The appointment of Edwards, who has no track record, underlines Fosun's lack of ambition. Once they had the Brand, and realized what it would cost to compete, they cooled on football. Why would they sack Edwards? He fits the requirement. I wish him well, of course, but managing Wolves with Fosun as owners is a poison chalice.
8.) 13 Apr 2026 13:37:05
Why would they sack him? Well, if it continues the way it is, at less than a point a game, we will soon be Conference League. Do you want that?
9.) 13 Apr 2026 16:14:10
I partially agree, Wimborne, but I think this is the result of a few things collectively. The PSR rules are a problem whether we like it or not. The club has to operate in them.
However, revenue hasn't grown, the ground investment hasn't been there, and the recruitment has been a shambles. If you don't have the income, you can't attract the best players and pay the wages, and you can't easily correct expensive mistakes from the transfer market. There have been a lot of those.
If you then back that up with no proper sporting director, no commercial directors, poor management of the first team and academies, and you find most signings from January 2025 to September 2025 were shown the door in the last window, you can see the problems.
Any pull Fosun want from Wolves is not as strong in The Championship, and the club is worth a fraction of what it was even 12 months ago. It makes it all quite baffling, as there seems to be no gain at the moment for any party.

B Hill wolf, my comment was not about what I want. I want him to succeed, but it is obvious from the stats that he is not a successful Prem manager. His appointment underlined Fosun's lack of Prem ambition. He has, however, shown ability in the Championship, which I believe could be behind Fosun's thinking.
However, I question Fosun's ambition, and suggest that RE will not get the cash he may wish for to rebuild successfully. The poison chalice.

Absolutely DMac but as Bullys said it actually makes perfect sense given Jeff/Fosuns transfer policies.

Probably Arddunby but the thought of Mourinho tearing into Shi over transfers would be hilarious.?

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!

I think that should be 'ruining of the Club' Rugeley.

Would that be £400M that he hasn't got.

Not just Jeff Shi. We have been in decline for 7 years, and Fosun did nothing. The jury is still out for me if they ever will.
They allowed Shi to continue even though the consequences were blindingly obvious to those that give a damn.
Yes, we'll see plenty of activity this Summer as we head for the cheap seats, but I still question what happens if we do get promoted back to the Prem.
Will we see a resurrection of the policies that failed us previously, or will we see Fosun actually learn from their 'mistakes' and take more interest?

Wolves actually built the away team's dressing room to be particularly basic and unwelcoming. One of our managers (can't remember who) had a pillar put in the middle to obscure everyone's view of their manager.
But you're not wrong, Preston. What a waste of binoculars that would have been.

Doubt it, Boz, and even if he does, and we get promoted, what happens then, as he's not exactly set the world on fire in the Prem.

It's hard to disagree, Banksy, it seems like the players are being blamed for RE's abysmal stats, but if Jeff Shi and the management team made so many bad choices with them, maybe they did with him.

I'm sure they are good, given that half the team will be sold off. The concern is the quality of the replacements, given last summer's attempt.
