J.gomes is said to be of serious interest to United, they are happy to wait until the end of the season to try and get him but may try in January, Cuhna is said to be using his pull to persuade him
1.) 12 Nov 2025 09:42:51
I suspect they will wait till the end of the season, because like most of our players I suspect his relegation release fee is a fraction of his true value! Add to that he has a one year option built into his contract.
Essentially if/when we get relegated not only do we go down but we also get to watch our squad leave for a mere fraction of their true value, take a bow Jeff you've worked tirelessly to get us here! ?
2.) 12 Nov 2025 14:15:52
De Wolf not sure if you either watched the Chelsea game or read my review but it was clear, despite playing on a side that was well beaten, that he was the best player on the pitch.
This is a Chelsea side that contains 2 central mids who cost over £100m each.
It is therefore no surprise that he will attract interest from the Sky 6 teams.
BB I obviously agree I put a figure of £40m on Gomes - a player who if he was playing for a proper club would not leave for anything less than 9 figures!
3.) 12 Nov 2025 14:18:54
Our CEO/Football Director has made a statement about the new manager.
On extract stood out for me."We need to refresh the whole club with a new coach’s philosophy".
If he had left it at, "We need to refresh the whole club", I would have been much happier.
Sadly, Fosun are showing no signs of replacing a passive CEO, with one that is pro-active.
4.) 12 Nov 2025 14:33:25
I was thinking the same rugeley, the only refreshing thing I want to hear from Jeff is he’s handed his resignation letter in.
11 Nov 2025 13:53:39
Interesting article I read today, apparently the club have no plans to spend heavily in January and will rely on loans to get players in
If true this points once again that fosun are looking to get out, now I know all the Jeff shi fans and fosun defenders will say “ why would they risk us going down and see our value lose 2/300 million overnight” well they paid 30 million for us, they haven’t invested in the ground, academy ( which is about to lose elite status rating) the women’s team, why? As there’s no return for them, yes they have spent on players but they get a return on them sometimes a really good aka kilman, Neto, jota etc
Make no mistake folks this whole mess stinks to high heaven
1.) 11 Nov 2025 15:28:11
Makes sense as well because they probably realize now that we are going down and spending lots in January would be to much of a gamble for them. To be honest I don't think they could attract good enough players even if they was willing to spend a lot.
Loaning players make more sense as the players themselves know they aren't going to be there long and they will be playing. Fosun will see it as something that isn't costing them much and its a safer gamble if there is any very small chance of survival.
2.) 11 Nov 2025 15:38:20
I hope you're right. The club has been run into the ground. The sooner this lot are out the better.
3.) 11 Nov 2025 15:53:37
Fosun only wanted the badge for their esports side of things.
4.) 11 Nov 2025 19:12:04
Loans make sense. We would really struggle to attract top targets. Enough good quality players not getting game time at parent club. Given the size of top Premier League academies there are plenty of young players with aspirations of making their country’s World Cup squads who need minutes.
If the focus is young English players then loans from top clubs and perhaps some Championship clubs not challenging for promotion is a possibility.
5.) 12 Nov 2025 12:10:30
Looks like we will be scrambling for crumbs from the rich man's table in January! This could work out for us. Any PL team not expected to be in a relegation battle could have quality players needing minutes. Not that I'd want him, but Raheem Sterling is being paid a fortune by Chelsea and he's not even in the squad, for example.
The wastage is enormous. We should review every player we have out on loan who could be recalled in January. A herculean effort will be needed to save us but I believe we will survive. Regardless of where we are next season, Jeff must go and preferably Fosun too.
6.) 12 Nov 2025 19:53:39
Some interesting thoughts in this thread. Players of Raheem Sterling standard would I imagine be payed wages to high for most clubs, even for a loan move.
If we do go down we will clearly need to reduce the wage bill quickly so I also suspect Gomes and one or two others will be released for the usual lower fees that we've come to expect. After this shambles I frankly can't see the more marketable assets staying even if we survive.
Taking any championship young players would probably be with a view to signing them for a promotion push next season as I can't see most championship clubs loaning young assets, they will surely want to sell.
They've rolled the dice. What happens next is anyone's guess.
05 Nov 2025 11:27:15
If newspapers are to be believed it now seems we have entered talks with…….Bruno lage ?♂️
1.) 05 Nov 2025 14:06:40
Oh No!
2.) 05 Nov 2025 14:30:03
It's just bizarre isn't it, can't help but feel that Teti has taken his list of mob numbers with him leaving Jeff hilariously scrolling through his own mob desperately looking for ANYONE mad enough to attend an interview! If it didn't make me SO angry it would genuinely be hilarious! ?
3.) 05 Nov 2025 15:31:27
Bruno said no. Thankfully.
Allardyce (who couldn’t save Leeds or Baggies) is waiting by his fax machine.
If Keane is truly up for it what do we have to lose?
Please no ‘help’ needed from Mendes (he’s suckled the golden tit long enough and now it’s all shrivelled up).
I’m not a religious person but I’ve prayed for something good to come. I’m now writing my letter to Santa, asking for the same present as the last few years!
4.) 05 Nov 2025 16:30:35
At this rate Jackett or Lambert will be coming back.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 17:06:38
Allardyce waiting by his fax machine? He was never that techy. He's probably sent his job application to Wolves by carrier pigeon. Looks like the only interest is from no-hopers. Think I'll send my CV in.
6.) 05 Nov 2025 18:29:04
???
7.) 05 Nov 2025 19:42:42
Jackett turned the club around once, so maybe he is the right man for the job again
8.) 05 Nov 2025 20:10:39
Don't forget Dean Saunders.
9.) 05 Nov 2025 21:19:24
Mike no one can ever forget dean Saunders ?
10.) 06 Nov 2025 09:30:37
Allardyce waiting by his fax machine is so funny. Apparently he has a VHS of all the Wolves games.
14 Aug 2025 20:55:31
Tom king in talks with Everton apparently
1.) 15 Aug 2025 08:16:01
Wasn’t he in Emmerdale? ?
14 Sep 2020 10:35:50
Being linked with Santiago Arias, plays for Atletico Madrid I think.
1.) 14 Sep 2020 16:00:04
Can't see it to be honest De Wolf.
Looks like Reguilon is going Utd.
And Telles has had his transfer fee dropped to 18m. Is that for Wolves?
Also we have still been linked with AMN and Corona ove rthe past week.
I reckon this is an agent or Athletico trying to increase interest so the fee and value goes up.
2.) 14 Sep 2020 21:37:14
Christian Eriksen is available ; 6 years younger than Joao! Moutinho excellent tonight, though. COYW.
3.) 14 Sep 2020 22:01:13
Preston- agree Joao was excellent tonight. And Inter can keep Erikson for me, he flattered to deceive for years at Spurs and has been found out in 6 months when playing in a very average league. Its a no for me fella ðŸ‘.
4.) 14 Sep 2020 22:32:43
Maybe, too late to put a bid in for Reece James, oh well! COYW.
5.) 14 Sep 2020 23:01:27
Now there I can agree, what a player! What is it about English Youth Systems and RB's at the moment?! We have more depth in that one position (nationally) than the rest of the defence put together! Weird 🤔.
6.) 15 Sep 2020 08:23:08
I don't think it's an issue with the system bullyboy.
The issue is that there aren't many good wing backs around. The top clubs look for alternative ways of creating wing backs.
Hence why there is TAA and AMN.
7.) 15 Sep 2020 10:12:42
Re Eriksen. He is great going forwards but far from certain he would be willing to subsume his own interests for the greater good and work hard defensively. The way we play and yesterday after a fast start was no different is always going to require your central mids to work their socks off.
Again we only had 45% possession and for 20 mins early in 2nd half we were totally passive on back foot allowing SU to punch themselves out on our rock like defence. That requires all 10 to contribute. Ps I thought Vitor looked promising when he came on and willing to work.
8.) 15 Sep 2020 10:37:12
Re:Thefutureisoldgold.
Wouldn't touch eriksson with a barge pole. In this spurs documentary he is so passive. Like it's okay to say I want to leave. But he didn't cause any problems happy to sit there and wait for something to happen. Whilst Rose gets stick for wanting Ac Milan to come in for him but at least he wants to play. When there defence hadn't kept a clean sheet in 11 games.
It's interesting the view that we were passive. I understand what your saying but maybe that is a negative of the 3 at the back with wing backs formation. Players aren't capable of going 100% for 90 mins. don't mistake that for me letting Traore off the hook defensively. But Liverpool conceded 3 at the weekend so maybe that is a weakness of wingbacks?
9.) 15 Sep 2020 11:32:17
Mad- wasn't really a criticism of the system to be honest (don't think I phrased it very well) more of a point regarding the sheer wealth of talent England has at RB. When you think that Wan Bissaka isn't even getting a sniff at the team whilst playing for United (and England managers always like to give their players a chance:) then it kind of shows just how strong we are there! Crazy really ðŸ‘.
10.) 15 Sep 2020 12:53:19
Don't think we need to worry about a left back now, get AMN in for rwb, and that should be business done?
11.) 15 Sep 2020 12:53:48
First glimpse of Nunos Wolves 2.0. overlapping centre backs. Started to see Saiss push forward with Marcal dropping in as cover. Expect there to be a solid RWB signed soon to do the same covering. Underlapping CB and dove tailing with WF and WB. That means more goals from players like Saiss. Another tweak was the WF dropping into the No.10 area. With a smart chip Neto and Podense received the ball in good areas. Drawing out the opposition defenders to give space to fellow forwards. Worked a treat. This evolved tactic and formation makes Wolves solid at the back and dynamic on the counter. Hopefully a good season awaits!
12.) 15 Sep 2020 14:22:17
Erikson's a no from me even I at 68 could play a couple of decent balls every 90 mins and watch everybody else run past me for the rest!
13.) 15 Sep 2020 16:02:41
I'm happy with the system (which this weekend apart didn't hurt either us or Liverpool too much last year, although their system is different with only 2CBs and 3 Def CMS) but as i think we are all saying it does mean that your WBs are v important. They have to both give the defensive solidity we all want but also provide the out ball when the 2 in mid are not surprisingly outnumbered and therefore struggling to take hold of the game.
Doherty (OMG I'm STILL going on about him) did that perfectly (I know many don't agree! ) and Otto was pretty good too. For different reasons both are gone and (on a sample of 1 game only let's not forget) we haven't got it right yet. But we won it was a good performance with many positives - Podence was great and our bench meant that the subs did change the game positively ( even without Jota or Silva getting a kick! ) .
Nuno will sort out the WBs - maybe Marcal will just be a more defensive minded one and like Spurs did last year we will overload one side? or maybe 2 new WBs will arrive?
Still excited and v positive!
14.) 15 Sep 2020 17:15:12
Sorry Bully but your right the system doesn't work.
It's scandalous that clubs are spending 6+ years developing players then they are all playing them in the same position. Is that a system issue or an England manager issue? Probably both.
Maybe the FA of each country should have more say with a player up until the age of 21? Giving greater guidance on opportunities.
Surely we should have 3-6 options in every position. And hopefully we'd hit success with 1-2 players in each position like the golden generation.
{Ed001's Note - you usually find youngsters don't necessarily play in the first team in the same position they began in. Alexander-Arnold was a central midfielder in youth football. Wan-Bissaka was a right winger right up until an injury crisis in the Palace team forced them to ask him to play a training game at right-back. There are many other examples, so you can't really do that and what kind of club would allow the relevant FA to decide where their players are played when it would have meant players like Alexander-Arnold and Wan-Bissaka would never have got into the first team. They both emerged as right-backs because of injuries and lack of other options meaning the teams had to put someone there. Would you want Wolves to find a youngster that slots in perfectly somewhere and then have the FA tell them they can't play them there because England needs them to play in a different position?}
15.) 15 Sep 2020 19:22:55
Hi Ed. I don't think that's the issue. The issue is as you say we have a lot of players that can play a range of different positions but we don't have a England manager that would be willing to take a risk and play players in a range of different positions. For example wan bissaka could have played rb in the recent friendlies and we could have played TAA or AMN further forward.
I'm not against players playing different position if anything I embrace as a fan. Maybe more fans should so we do see the talent we have showcase what they can do like German and Spain in particular do under every manager and at every tournament even if it doesn't always pay off.
Nuno's done it with many players and it has paid off for Wolves. Such as Coady, Traore, Vinagre, Jota, Neto, Podence, Neves and Saiss to name a few. :)
{Ed001's Note - Coady started his career playing centre of a back 3 in the Liverpool youth teams, then began alternating between midfield and defence. So he was well used to it. Most youth players do play multiple positions to improve their game, but it is a different kettle of fish to do that in the pro ranks. You have to change the way you think, which is why so few utility players are very good overall and tend to just end up as fillers, rather than first choice players.
The problem with England is down to the FA's greed. They don't do anything for the benefit of the sport, but just for the benefit of their wallets. If they stopped charging obscene amounts for coaching courses, England would have a lot more top class coaches to choose from, instead of just ex-pros who get paid for by clubs. Nothing will change without more youngsters getting access to good coaching to help them through.}
16.) 15 Sep 2020 19:43:53
I agree 100% Ed.
I'll get some old rumours going again.
Any news on Telles coming anyone?
And would fans prefer AMN or Corona?
17.) 15 Sep 2020 21:16:44
Well we won't be seeing Arias at rwb as he's signed for Sevilla, guess that means his agent has been doing his job.

According to Wikipedia, Esports is short for electronic sports and is a form of competition using video games.
Esports often takes the form of organized, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, played individually or as teams.
View Wikipedia for more information.
4.) 07 Nov 2025 17:03:03
Basically playing computer games online in large competitions (mostly the new versions of FIFA which I believe is now called FC26, after FIFA pulled the plug on copy rights) buddy.
Me and my mates always laugh that we were born in the wrong generation as you now get grown arse adults making an INSANE amount of money to play footy games like FIFA professionally! We used to play them at Uni enough to be deemed pro I reckon but back then we were just sad cases, now it'd be a good career move! ?
5.) 07 Nov 2025 17:51:05
You could argue it is a bit silly but then again. Us getting so emotional over a bunch of overpaid people running around on a grass field after a round ball. I guess it's a matter of choice.
6.) 07 Nov 2025 18:34:11
Is the e sport business part of the Wolves football club or another arm of Fosun?
If it is, there appears to have been zero income in the accounts coming to the club so far despite all the noise?
One for the future or Fosun merely using the brand to help themselves not Wolves?
7.) 07 Nov 2025 18:57:42
OK thanks. That’s a genuine question as I don’t know. Is it therefore correct that Fosun are using Wolves brand in China in esports very successfully? If they’re making a lot of money then I suppose they’re not really desperate to preserve our Premier status. Am I wide of the mark on this please?
8.) 07 Nov 2025 19:12:32
V good q 47.
Does the brand rely on Wolves premier league status?
This is probably the question upon which Wolves season hangs as with a huge spend in January is might still be possible to survive - albeit it is going to be very tight and will require an amazing never seen before transfer window!
9.) 07 Nov 2025 21:06:08
If you go on internet wolves esport, the income and invest numbers are available. Then you can compare with the fotball club numbers and investments. I can't at the moment because it's Friday night and I am in garage destroying my body with Black Sabbath and whisky.
10.) 07 Nov 2025 23:31:22
Tks Skrekken.
I have had a look and the info is somewhat patchy with a figure as you said for income, (but none for costs), and a number for an investment.
The conclusion reached by the report I read seems to be that e sports makes no money whatsoever - which would seem to fit with the Wolves FC accounts .
However as this thread commented Wolves are investing in the activity fairly heavily i.e.
it is sucking cash out of the club.
Maybe at some distant date in the future it will make sense but right now it is an irrelevant distraction that obviously is more of interest to Jeff than the real game and the real business.
He clearly is not just incompetent but a fool as well!
Fiddling whilst Rome burns!
05 Nov 2025 14:54:51
Is it just me or is anyone else getting vibes like when they sacked Mick McCarthy and I think it was moxey said this is no job for a novice then appointed the complete novice Terry Connor
1.) 05 Nov 2025 15:21:38
Very much so De wolf, in fact I even also likened our approach to GON as giving Terry Connor the job! Desperate and essentially just ensuring a quicker prosession to relegation, so depressing! ?
2.) 05 Nov 2025 15:29:39
Basically they couldn't get anyone.
3.) 05 Nov 2025 15:34:18
There should be a company set up to cover for premiership managers. Similar to school supply teachers. There may be one good one in every five. May give us some hope! ?
4.) 05 Nov 2025 15:40:57
The problem being De wolf that when McCarthy went he took all the football staff with him. Wolves Ltd then tried to run Wolves FC (if you take my point) with disastrous results.
That is, however, exactly what this situation looks like, certainly to me.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 16:35:24
Only shi to go now and or fosun need a new owner now to be honest unless they change there tune on how to run the club who do you think will be our new manager

7.) 05 Nov 2025 16:58:07
Apparently Jeff is interested in Dele Allí as a player manager on a free, by all accounts Allí wanted Tete gone as he was worried anyone who knew anything about football would realise he knew nothing about managing. Funnily enough it is also the reason Jeff was happy to get Tete gone.
Jeff is also looking to appoint the local Asda manager as Ali’s number two as he was impressed with how organised the shelf stacking was, saying he’s hopeful he can get the team lined up in a similar fashion.
8.) 05 Nov 2025 19:21:56

{Ed's Note - De wolf was god has posted a new article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sliding Toward the Abyss
1.) 05 Nov 2025 07:58:09
Your list of players who will be off is interesting because many are in your substandard category who we probably wouldn't want to stay anyway, particularly Hwang and Sa (which means we might be stuck with them depending on contract expiry dates). That's one of the reasons we're in our current predicament.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 09:04:51
Nicely summarised De wolf as you imply pretty much a perfect storm of owners going absent and a club run by a one man managerial disaster.
I think some of the players you place on the leavers list would do well in the Championship but as you say many probably wouldn't want to stay.
Fosun should have sold the club 3 years ago when they began their re-structuring program as even then the die was cast with no further investment forthcoming.
3.) 05 Nov 2025 09:10:46
I absolutely agree old wolf apart from krechi who looks decent I think they are mostly gash, the krechi one is interesting as well as I believe that he only signs for us permanently if certain criteria is met, and I bet a pound to a pinch of Albion that one of the criteria is being in the premier league so that’s another 20 million fosun have saved
4.) 05 Nov 2025 10:48:23
Nice article and well written. Thomas Cook anyone? Don't write it off it could happen.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 13:33:44
I agree Krechi is not bad, but even be was offered to another club for almost half of what we payed. They knew we were desperate and ripped us off. All the others signed in the window are at best Championship but even that's doubtful.
04 Nov 2025 17:29:18
De wolf was god has written an article entitled, Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sliding Toward the Abyss
1.) 04 Nov 2025 20:51:51
De Wolf - Why do you think Tolu will stay?
Surely his salary will be way out of Wolves pocket if they go down. Plus he will still raise a transfer fee albeit nothing like the amount paid by Wolves and Wolves will be desperate for cash injections.
Otherwise pretty much agree that the squad will be almost entirely disposed of one way or another - sold, bought out, contract not renewed or sent out on loan.
Consequently with what is left you may well be correct and a double relegation is far from impossible even before you take into account the genuine possibility of Wolves entering into administration and thus being hit with a 12 point penalty.
The next few weeks will tell us a lot about how Fosun sees things.
A serious managerial signing and a very healthy January transfer budget will indicate they are still committed.
A cheap option for manager and the sale of J Gomes and Andre - the two remaining diamonds in the squad - indicates Fosun are simply looking to extract as much value from the club as it can whilst it still can.
As Abbey pointed out in a post earlier today Seville was a real "sliding doors" moment.
If Nuno had been left in control - with Thelwell and Dalrymple - Wolves may well have been a European team on more than one occasion over the last few years and certainly would be a solid top half of the table team, highly profitable and worth a fortune.
Jeff taking control meant that none of this happened and Wolves have been a massively loss making club and may well be no longer a Prem team next year worth nothing or close to it.
Unless Fosun has extracted hundreds of millions over the past few years, which seems highly unlikely, Jeff has not just spectacularly failed Wolves but Fosun as well.
2.) 04 Nov 2025 21:18:01
I’m not sure with tolu I just get the impression he’s not the sort of character to jump ship, I could and probably am wrong and like you say he will probably go as well. I did post the other day on talking wolves about how fosun may stick around and leech the parachute payments for as long as they can before peeing off.
I genuinely fear for the next few seasons and can see a free fall like the 80’s on the cards
3.) 04 Nov 2025 21:23:36
Also I point out in my article that Jeff and fosun are equally culpable for the mess we find ourselves in, as for the money side of it when you work out sponsorship, tv money, premier league money the club have had an income just shy of a billion pounds since returning to the prem, I’m not including transfers in this as over the years they have pretty much balanced out now, slightly in the red but not by much.
A good example is when the first spectres of psr started to appear, the season we had to sell neves etc that same year Jeff’s annual pay shot from 220 grand a year to around 660 grand a year this is when we are being told as fans that the club is in dire financial crisis
4.) 05 Nov 2025 06:15:17
From a purely non football sided of things, and Iknow nothing regards the financial world, if Fosun are likely to attract offers of 4/500m selling wouldn't represent a loss on their original investment would it? In fact I'm imagining a positive return, so why are they hanging in with us given the current global tensions.
It's not to run and develop an English Premier football club, even if just for fun. We've been sold a few lies for whatever reasons, and perhaps Jeff as been doing his job for fosun successfully in their eyes De Wulf.?
5.) 05 Nov 2025 07:26:51
I absolutely agree abbey I think they bought the club and thought they could chuck a bit of cash at it at first and end up as big as Barcelona Which would tie in with Jeff’s delusional comments, then through a perfect storm of covid/Chinese government restrictions and the reality of football they have realised it’s actually a very expensive business.
They have zero interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers apart from being able to use our iconic badge for e sports, the sooner they have gone the better but I think it’s going to get a lot lot worse for us before that happens
6.) 05 Nov 2025 08:28:54
Totally agree De Wolf. They need to unload Wolves to meet their commercial strategy since COVID. They are struggling to find a cash buyer due to the uncertain financial world we live in and the PL restrictions on direct investment.
04 Nov 2025 11:53:07
I see the fan groups have sent an open letter to Fosun
Very interesting reading, also some of the groups involved traditionally ones like always wolves have defended fosun and Jeff but not now.
Would be good if something came of it, organised protests would be the next logical step
1.) 04 Nov 2025 13:29:35
Defended the defenceless, this has been 5 or 6 years in the making, they must've all been too pre - occupied watching games through their cameras to notice what's happening on the pitch and interviewing disappointed fans outside Molineux, must be getting serious, Fosun will be losing them their followers and subscribers.
2.) 04 Nov 2025 13:59:16
Does anyone know the letters’ content?

Try the Express and Star sport website with the heading 'Wolves fan groups pen open letter .', everything is there.

Looks that way rko arias was touted as the cuhna replacement and he’s turned out to be another cutrone ?

If so dmac I wonder who’s leaving to free up a space in the squad?
17 Nov 2025 10:39:22
Hmmm not sure 3G
Look at the options, Sunderland who are flying in the league and have ambitious owners, villa who are playing in Europe and have ambitious owners or us who haven’t won in 6 months rooted to the bottom of the league but have a cracking esports team, no brainer for a young Spanish player ??

I think it probably is nick, same guy who kept posting about how he was “drinking with a players agent” ???♂️

Ah mr edwards I fear mr shi seems to have forgotten to tell you we can only sign under 21’s or English players unless we sell, that is of course assuming your not an Albion fan on the wind up, I know what my moneys on

Your argument falls down oap with the line “ if fosun are to be believed”
I wouldn’t trust Jeff and fosun as far as I could throw them

So I posted a while ago about how fosun are bleeding the club out, it’s a poorly managed decline. I do think we will sell players in Jan, if Gomes is one I’m not sure but I’ve read that cuhna is using his friendship with him to pull him to United ( can you blame Gomes though?) now the people that are saying oh when we go down we will have the parachute payments, no we won’t as fosun have taken out a 100 million pound loan against future tv money rights and transfer payments. So that’s the parachute payments gone in one fell swoop. Then I would say 90 percent of our current squad will go, due to a combination of high wages, not wanting to play in the championship or contract expired.
So that means a complete rebuild for the upcoming championship season. Can anyone in their right mind say fosun will spend? Hmm I think not. There is also an interesting article by Stefan Borson the finance expert about how we are close to the psr limits again, now if that’s true the question has to be asked where is the money going? As we are more or less breaking even on transfers so where is all the sky tv/premier league prize money disappearing to?

I think it was both of those rko, victors team selections and tactics bordered from the unusual to the downright bizarre, and there was obviously tension with the “.leadership group” aka Sa, Gomes, jsl, Andre and Doherty. I’m hoping edwards comes in picks a captain and that’s the captain non of this rotation of the armband malarkey.
Personally I think it’s already done and dusted in terms of relegation but if we go down with a fight and not a whimper I would be ok with it, there was no fight in vitors team imo

Absolutely dmac it would certainly be refreshing to hear he’s been relieved of his duties or resigned
