Morning All.
With reference to the comments below following my post on Tuesday.
As with before, there is a wall of silence coming out of Molineux, but interestingly I have also heard (although not via a club contact) roughly the same as one of the posts below, that the Reuben Brothers representatives have made tentative first enquiries and that they are looking to invest HEAVILY into a football club, I must also state at this point that I have heard that they have made the same enquiries at Leeds and an unnamed Premier club. Again linked in with a previous post I have heard that the Reuben Brothers are not just interested in owning a club, they want to own a club that is challenging for trophies and playing in Europe. And will pay whatever it takes to get the club there.
As always, I reiterate that this is just rumours, and I repeat, I have not heard this from within the club.
But it opens up lots of thought processes and certainly gets the spine tingling. Could it really happen to a club like Wolves? It is a well known fact around the footballing fraternity that Wolves are seen as the BEST option of all the clubs that are available to 'buy' at the moment. And that has to be a big factor.
Initial enquiries are one thing and are of course a long long way away from purchasing, but who knows.
It is very hard not to get excited and ahead of ourselves when these rumours start to fly around. If I here anymore, I will of course keep you all informed.

So basically, nothing new then!

Leeds and Wolves are both sleeping giants, although Wolves have been sleeping for a lot longer than Leeds! Either club would be a good punt but Leeds have the trickier owner. And, the Leeds ground is not owned by the club.

If the Reubens are interested in getting into Europe as quickly as possible, West Ham would be a contender, and the draw of London with the world class Olympic Stadium would be unbeatable.

I think it's easy for us to think we're a great club but harder to convince too many others. In the last 40 years or so, not many have been in the top flight. Yes, we go talk about Stan Cullis and Billy Wright, but a lot of clubs can probably point to a glory period too.

The problem as I see it is that investors look for clubs in big cities. Easy to buy in to London, Liverpool and Manchester and to a lesser extent Birmingham (in the form of Villa, B'ham's owner has let them down) and Newcastle but investors from outside of the UK probably haven't heard of Wolverhampton.

What we do have is a good fan base and a nice ground, and maybe that will tip the balance. We won't get a Man City or Chelsea deal but we should be looking at the Villa and Leicester deals as a realistic outcome. Other city clubs have potential. Leeds needs more investment as does Portsmouth, Southampton has worked well but Bristol and Sheffield would be better off if they merged their respective clubs!
