The away kit for the 2016/17 season will be lime green as the pictures were leaked on Snapchat by Kortney Hause (source Express&star) .
Just goes from bad to worse. Looks vile! The sooner we get new owners the better!
1.) 26 Apr 2016 22:09:54
I'm not sure Hause really did leak it, WWFC have a shot at dawn policy for players leaking stuff on social media. I bet it was intentional, to take attention off Moneyshop or to see if a revolt was on hand.
I like the green and black away kit, I hate the black hoops on the socks though, it's like they're trying to brand us the Black Country Celtic.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a sweetener to Moneyshop sponsorship, their owner is Irish, the one in photo's with Robbie Keane. lol, maybe Moneyshop will be the new owner and it will become our home kit!
No to hoops!

Do you have a link to the photo of Robbie Keane and John Grayken?
3.) 27 Apr 2016 12:33:34
I don't, I saw it posted on a forum, either this one or MolMix.
It's all very suspicious - Grayken owns Moneyshop, and has been linked to buying Wolves through links with Robbie Keane and Glenn Hughes. He's Irish, and we bought Mason at XMas (an Irish International when we couldn't use him, but because was only chance to buy him with Cardiff in FFP trouble at that time) - looks like he was bought for next season not this. And our away kit next season is green, for first time in our history, and like an Irish owner might want.
And of course, in middle of all that, Grayken's Moneyshop suddenly become Wolves main sponsors - totally in conflict with the clubs identity, but potentially in order to get a Prem push warchest round FFP. It's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire.

All very suspicious as you say. But only circumstantial.
BTW, John Grayken was born in the USA, in Boston. He took Irish citizenship relatively recently and my guess is for tax reasons. (US citizens have to pay tax in the US on their entire worldwide earnings. Ireland is more lenient) . Grayken probably has an Irish grannie or something, which can confer citizenship.
Given the new sponsorship deal at Wolves and the connection with Robbie, a lot of smoke for if there's no fire!

Looks like job for mauler n scully -X files / maybe they find out why moxey such a dick and why kj lost plot this season.
6.) 27 Apr 2016 13:49:37
Yes probably for tax, but I guess he was pictured with Robbie Keane because he's an Irish footy hero and Grayken is into being Irish. Plus Ireland market offers a massive opportunity for support and revenue for an Irish branded Prem team, and Wolves does have Irish links / strong support anyway.
There's also the uncanny coincidence that his name is Grayken, an almost perfect description of our current Coach and play-style! The stars are aligning!

Brilliant. We already have a "Grey Ken" of our very own.
You're right about being into Irish. There's no one more Irish than a born-again American.
8.) 28 Apr 2016 10:24:09
I've been reading up on Grayken, I seriously hope he's not buying. He runs vulture funds, he's basically an asset stripper. There's reports out of Korea showing that he doesn't honour pledges he makes, and Forbes reckons that people who've trusted him to work with have ended up seriously regretting it - reasonable to assume we would too.

Paul Gladon has scored 3 goals in 6 games while on loan. Not the clinical 'marquee' striker which everyone seems to crave but reckon he could bag a few goals in that position. Even if it was to give Bonatini a break during the cup games.
1.) 03 Sep 2017 13:13:26
He wasn't as bad as we seem to think just not the outstanding striker we wanted not yet convinced he is worse than Bonatini we might see him back if we have injuries.
01 Sep 2017 16:22:45
Giuseppe Rossi is available on a free? He may be able to do a job in that position.

Was linked with the Leeds Job, found this article
Walter Zenga would be a disastrous appointment for Leeds United
Wednesday, 4th May 2016 09:35 by Lucas Monk
Former Italy international Walter Zenga enjoyed a glittering career with Internazionale as a goalkeeper, but his managerial career hasn't gone so well.
Walter Zenga is reportedly being lined up as Steve Evans' replacement at Leeds United, according to Tutto Mercato.
The 56-year-old obviously enjoyed a glittering playing career, and whilst his managerial career got off to a fairly good start, he has now been without success for quite a while.
After minor managerial roles with New England and Brera, Zenga won league titles with Steaua BucureÅŸti of Romania (2004-05), and a league and cup double with Crvena zvezda in Serbia (2005-06). However, his managerial fortunes have declined greatly ever since.
After a poor spell as manager of Gaziantepspor (2006) in Turkey, he joined United Arab Emirates moneybags Al-Ain (2007), only lasting five months before resigning. He joined Dinamo BucureÅŸti as new manager in September 2007, but again his reign was a short-lived one as he resigned after just two months in the role.
He has since enjoyed short spells with Catania (2008-09), Palermo (2009-10), Al-Nassr (2010), Al-Nasr (2011-13), Al Jazira (2013-14), Sampdoria (2015), and most recently, this season with A-Shaab.
He'd be a disastrous appointment if Leeds were to appoint him. He has failed to do anything of note apart from a respectable mid-table finish with Catania, and he has a track record of not lasting very long in the job.
He was known for playing a boring, defensive style whilst managing Catania, focusing on set-pieces. He also doesn't have any experience in English football, so it'd be a big gamble to sack a solid manager with knowledge of the English game in Evans and then have Zenga replace him.
If he is appointed, I don't even think he'd make it to October. It'd be a disastrous move to appoint a proven failure of a manager. If Leeds are going to replace Evans then they should, in my opinion, only look to appoint a manager with experience in English football.

Same fans saying kj was a shocking signing. then boom week after week we win games u no the rest. he just found his levil. Give the man a changes ill remmber your names if he does well lol.
08 Jul 2016 14:40:15
I have no news regarding the takeover. However, there is one aspect of the club which I believe should be addressed which is the colour of our kit.
We are meant to be the gold and black army, however that is hard to say when our colour is orange. Ever since the 2000-2002 kits (17 years ago! ) our team has exhibited the hues of Hull City with orange replacing the gold. I'm sure most of you would agree with me when I propose that the new owners (whoever it will be) should reintroduce the gold for the 17/ 18 season. If you all observe the new Tottenham Hotspur third kit, I'm sure you would all prefer that kit as opposed to the one which has been recently released.
Just food for thought, would be great to start a petition to bring back the gold and with it the pride which the club has unfourtunately lost in the last decade.

Okay so we all know that we are desperate for cover up top. Why not give Sigurdarson another chance? We have all seen the lad play and he has a lot of pace and skill to his game which would create mayhem for championship defenses. Considering he is still on our books and wage bill, it would be idiotic to play another player out of position (Van la parra) just to cover the void left by Dicko.
It's a shame the club has treated him like they have as he seems like a nice bloke and had a lot of potential. Just a thought anyways.
1.) 07 Sep 2015 09:28:34
Kenny has twice given up on Siggy and we have seen before that he will keep players out of the first team setup if he doesn't want to use them. On the other hand we saw that he brought Doyle back last season so players can come back from obscurity. I reckon that when Kenny took the job it was a condition that he didn't have to use any of the team he inherited if he didn't want to so while he was responsible for Ricketts, Clarke and Jacobs coming and going Siggy, Doyle and the others weren't his problem.
31 Jul 2016 14:03:15
Okaka would be a great signing We have been missing a large forward ever since E-banks Blake.

20-30 million at championship level is fantastic. People are forgetting that we are in the second tier of English football and will not chuck money at any price tag as we cannot attract the talent which is expressed in the premier league. If Wolves are to remain financially sound and out of debt, the new owners will have to spend their money wisely. Look at it this way, Steve Morgan invested a small amount of money to the squad (no more than 6 million) during the 2013/ 14 and 2014/ 2015 season and as a result we got promoted and were 1 point shy from reaching the play offs the following season. Now we have at least 10-15 million to play with this season which means we have a chance to upgrade the necessary positions in the squad which most need improvement. The people who thought we were going to spend 10ml+ on players are simply deluded. The only way to get out of the championship is to invest in young, hungry and talented players while also not making the club bankrupt (which would likely happen if we did invest big) .
I do agree Jackett needs to be relieved and a new manager imposed in order for us to achieve promotion as it is just as much about tactics as it is money and Jackett I'm afraid has not got the tactical awareness for the game (as he has demonstrated last season with his poor decisions) .
17 May 2015 03:06:34
Way too much money. Afobe only cost us 2m and he is a better player than Mason. Woild like to see that kind of money spent on the left wing to replace Sako instead of average strikers when we have Afobe and Dicko leading the line.
15 May 2015 19:30:37
I will be very surprised if that happens. Sako does not want to play for us anymore and at 27 years old I don't blame him! He wants to get into the Premiership ASAP and now he has top flight interest, I'll imagine he will bite their hands off. Bakary said in an interview that he will decide his fate in the next few weeks, by which time I doubt we will have two quality players because the transfer window isn't even open yet.
Moxey has promised that they will spend big in the summer transfer window to replace Sako so we can push for promotion next season, so we shall see how that goes.
15 May 2015 15:42:23
He doesn't want to play for us anymore Paul! Especially as he has interest from Premier League teams like Aston Villa and West Brom. We promised him the Premier League 3 seasons ago and instead he has played Championship and League 1 football. He deserves the Prem.
He has honoured his contract and now it is time for him to move on and for us to find someone who is talented and can grow and develop like this Ameobi bloke.
09 Jul 2017 19:35:57
He was a great winger for us in the Old Gold but since his transfer to Palace he has not been able to hit the mark and as a result, his football ability has decreased and fitness due to lack of game time. He might be able to be a 'super-sub' and come in a couple of games this season and get us a break but I think the future is with the youthful Portuguese prospects that Fosun are bringing in.
14 Jul 2016 20:06:00
Would like the hexagon to be replaced with a shield with the iconic wolf head in the middle. Maybe something like West Ham's old badge with Wolverhampton Wanderers or simply Wolves written at the bottom. Would also like to see our strip being actual gold (like Tottenham Hotspurs 3rd kit) as opposed to the colours of Hull City.
04 May 2015 02:37:53
Don't really know the exact date of when it is being released. However, I would imagine that our next kit would share the same template as Ranger's and look a little bit like my avatar picture.
