I have posted less over the past few weeks as I have been trying to limit my negative posting and focus on more positive matters. Sadly there is very little to be positive about

I have previously said that Vitor should already be gone as he clearly isn't getting the best out of the squad available to him - which despite what Wandering and indeed he himself has said, (he wants to keep his job so he will say whatever the boss asks him to!), I don't for one minute believe it is what he wanted to be working with when the season started - but to be fair to him it is an awful squad.

Not only did Wolves sell its best 2 players but it seems it has also lost another 3 of the best 7 - Semedo to free agency and JSL and Emmanuel to Lemina like falls off of a cliff form drop offs.

Also, although Wolves bought a number of cheap players, (£100m for 6 players is cheap in Prem terms - there were a few players bought by other teams who appear to be excellent signings at those modest prices, but only a few, explaining why it was such a high risk strategy), only Krejci, (unsurprisingly the most expensive of the players acquired!), currently looks like a top half of the Prem quality player.

Consequently at both ends of the pitch and particularly going forwards there is just so little quality.

So the only positive I can find is that Wolves fans on here and other sites are now largely united in acknowledging the situation.

I was virtually a lone voice questioning the direction of travel post Seville being castigated for criticising for example the signings of Fabio, Trincao and Guedes.

However over the years more and more posters - aided by the, (to me at least), undeniable evidence of the increasingly poor results on the pitch and in the accounts - started to see the problem.

Amazingly though even this summer on this site I was still being challenged over my criticism of Jeff and his management of the club on and off the pitch!

Now it seems even the most fervent of Jeff's supporters have realised that he isn't running the club to benefit the club. Either because he is grossly incompetent or more likely he is running the club with a different agenda.

So where is the future - sadly it isn't old gold?

Is it possible to survive in the Prem or indeed even as a club?

Obviously yes to the latter, (although it's not a given!), but even the former is still possible!

Vitor has to go now - who on earth replaces him I don't know.

Whoever it is has to find some way of getting Emmanuel and JSL firing - maybe promise JSL he can leave next summer? They have to tighten up the defence and hope that enough results can be ground out that it is not all over by Jan when Fosun have to decide if they double down or quit?

There is simply no creativity, goal scoring or basic quality in the forward line. To change that will be very hard . Finding players of sufficient quality willing to join Wolves will be extremely difficult and expensive.

My view is that Fosun won't. They will accept relegation and hope that they can strip out whatever value there is left in the squad - maybe only Andre, Gomes and Krejci - and then hope that they can find a fool/fan willing to take on the carcass that will remain.

This is sadly going to be very ugly indeed and may take a long time to recover from.

Given my age I suspect I should enjoy the remainder of the season as I may well never see Wolves in the Prem again.

Tks Jeff!

future. A very true summation of the situation, the sort of statement that whilst not being what you want to read you have to accept it. I have stopped posting for pretty much the same reason, the appalling recruitment of the summer caused to stop bothering to post because the results we've had were inevitable. All I can say to Jeff is go now you've done appalling damage to our club and enough is enough. To Fosun put up or clear off and let someone else have a go before it's too late! Vitor it's time for you to go, thanks for last season but you're simply not up to the task I'm afraid.

Well I can't see any new investments or owners prior to the winter transfer window, I can't see who we bring in to replace VP, so sadly I'm inclined to agree that we could fall through one or more divisions again.

Unless something changes in the next few weeks it doesn't look promising.

At some point in the future the club will probably offer the prospects of good value to a new owner prepared to take a chance (similar to Wagner and Brady at Blues). It may however be more difficult to get rid of Fosun than we think.
