This takeover is one great big hoax. Heres what's happening Steve Morgan meets his friend Guillem Balague on holiday. Tells him to post a message saying there's a big takeover. Everone gets excited. He sells mcdonald, which fans won't moan about and players cannot be bought, because 'takeover is happening'. Now it says three weeks till completion. Season ticket sales increase. Then what happens- season about to start. Wolves make announcement that so called takeover has fallen through. 'Oh well says Morgan'.

Wlvs82 you seamed stressed think positive those days of Morgan will be over soon, we ought to thank him realy for selling the club to a Billionaire and honouring sir. Jacks wishes of doing the best for the club that the new owner can take the club forward
This when it's signed and sealed, which it will be in my opinion will be the best thing that's happened to this FOOTBALL CLUB and to think that we had 2 Billionaires fighting to get our club according to news reports tells me that Wolves F. C. must be very special and of interest world wide, so let's all enjoy the ride,
Just thought I would chear you up Wolves fans, come on me babbies we are nearly there.

We definitely have one of the best 'potential' brands in the World, a potential super-brand. Through our towns heritage, our identity can be presented in a totally real way as the epitome of grass roots enterprise, we have no true historical class divides but can be glam and classy due to our artisan heritage, our birthing of the Industrial Revolution makes us a perfect place for a rich IT person to make their name regenerating us, tying history and future, them and us together naturally.
And in recent times, I'd like to think in the end we made a great success of multi-culturalism and are a united people, but without losing our identity for it, rather it just complimented us and made us even more. And the club itself has a heritage of being top of the game, with longest serving England captain, planting roots of Euro tournaments, heroes with integrity and loyalty like Bully etc. You really couldn't get a more 'potentially' inclusive supportable club with as much potential National and Global appeal and reach as us.
Can't blame Morgan for not seeing it as I think his view of the World is overly affected by his urban Liverpool bubble, so him aside, the only really surprising thing for me is Moxey, who reckons to have a marketing background but apparently never saw any of this, he reckoned we were a seed to be like Everton, when in reality we are a seed to be another Man U.
I'm sure though Robin Li or his advisers have vision and have seen some of this and that's why they're interested, it's fantastic that someone did and Moxey wasn't too much in the way of it.

Lots of positives around our club and aspects of our city. There are still some very negative stereotypes out there that we are going to have to work hard to dispel, and some of those relate to a small lunatic fringe of so called supporters. Club can do a lot more than it does at present to rid us of these once and for all. Ties with the World's fastest growing economy can only be a positive for investment in the city and premier league status does have a knock on effect to the general "feel good" factor for all concerned. Looks like the proverbial "golden" opportunity, let's hope it materialises and then let's hope we learn how to maximise the benefits it could bring, on and off the field.

Ulf, I admire your optimism but I'm sure you've been smoking some funny stuff.

Not saying I do but Queen Victoria smoked funny stuff and she had the biggest Empire the World has ever seen :-)
It could take a decade or two to develop Wolves, but it is there to do it with, it's about ingredients and we have the best set going, in terms of potential. Obviously ultimately down to the chef though. I'm sure SJH could feel it but so immersed in it, it was subjective and he couldn't verbalise it as anything other than sentimental. I think SMorgan could feel it too but didn't necessarily understand why, I don't think Moxey has any feel at all though, which shouldn't matter, as CEO he should have delegated it, but in his world everything revolves around him so I guess he never saw the need, assumed he was right and he got away with that because everything was on the cheap. The new owners money and professionalism should mean we'll be buying marketing / brand input and that will have vision, so we should be on our way down a long, but I reckon increasingly brighter and ultimately stellar road.
