Former Wolves striker SEB (Sylvan Ebanks-Blake) is suing his surgeon for the loss of his football career at the early age of 27.
1.) 19 Jul 2025 09:48:18
Same surgeon that operated on my achilles and left me with nerve damage.
World's leading expert on feet and ankles allegedly!
17 Aug 2023 14:26:07
We're linked with Josh Brownhill of Burnley.
1.) 17 Aug 2023 15:41:23
God I hope not, bang average player. I'd sooner see Hodge or Jordao play to be honest! ?
2.) 17 Aug 2023 16:29:46
See Paul merson predicts Brighton win he always goes against us plus he says we can't and won't score he talks out his ass h.i never had liked him I go for a wolves win 3-1
3.) 17 Aug 2023 17:15:01
I’d rather us sign Josh Burnley, from Brownhills.
4.) 17 Aug 2023 17:22:50
Paul Merson keeps whistling the same old boring tune. Wolves 'don't score'. Therefore we will never score, right? Wrong! A team that never scores would not have stayed up last season. He may not have noticed that we finished very comfortably in 13th place last season in spite of VAR errors for which we have received several apologies. And he gets paid for writing this drivel? My prediction?
Wolves 2, Brighton 1.

Deep, I’ve gone for a 2-1 win on me Super6. We can’t both be wrong, surely not
6.) 17 Aug 2023 18:43:13
He isn't a bad player to have for depth tbf but given the source it's come from I think a rumour is all it is mate.
7.) 17 Aug 2023 19:08:46
Who knows we're could run riot.its about time we battered a team
8.) 17 Aug 2023 19:41:59
Let's see guys as wolfy46 says we could run riot but it's still early days.
9.) 17 Aug 2023 20:31:57
We may not score many but we still managed to beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Brentford and Villa at Molineux last season. Let Merson say what he wants and when we don't lose or get relegated, watch him, Gabby and Chris Sutton all suddenly say that they always felt Wolves were a decent side.
10.) 18 Aug 2023 10:04:47
Liverpool are sniffing around for Lamina, well they can think again and keep their grubby little hands off him, unless they plan to pay £200m for him and in cash not instalments. that's what I think.
11.) 22 Aug 2023 20:43:37
Liverpool so called only paid £5 million out of 45 million in Jota deal.
31 Jan 2022 11:11:26
Apparently we are favourites ahead of Rangers to sign Aaron Ramsey. He is going to take a massive wage cut, and Juve will pay him to leave. As for Rangers, they can sign Gordon Ramsay for all I care! Might improve the half-time pies in Glasgow!
1.) 31 Jan 2022 11:44:19
According to his autobiography, Gordon did play for Rangers.
2.) 31 Jan 2022 11:53:40
According to The Daily Record, a deal between Rangers and Juve for AR has been agreed upon. Would've been a great addition, I'm going to be a negative Nelly and reiterate we will have no incomings today (sadly). Happy to be wrong though!
3.) 31 Jan 2022 12:03:23
I hope you are wrong Debbie else we will be looking at a third Jan in a row when we have ended the month in a similar or more likely worse position to where we started it! Fosun keep telling us there's no deals to be done, let's see shall we cause other teams seem to be managing?! ?
4.) 31 Jan 2022 13:07:38
Do we really want a overpaid injury prone midfielder?
Whether juve subsidised Ramsey's wage he's still not a good addition in my book.
I would like to see a extra striker come in but with hwang to come back I think we should have enough to cement a top ten finish.
5.) 31 Jan 2022 13:16:50
Jas, an update on the illustrious footballing career of Gordon Ramsay:
According to his autobiography Ramsay played "a couple of non-league matches as a trialist for Rangers."
He has since admitted that the exact ins-and-outs of his time at Rangers are "hazy" and according to a Rangers spokesperson he was given a trial during a testimonial match and trained with them for a few months.
6.) 31 Jan 2022 14:09:27
@ Deep Throat and Jas M - The News Of The World debunked Gordon Ramsay's claims about being a Rangers player. HE wasn't released by the club, he had trials for two weeks. This is the only time I can praise NOTW.
It all came about when Ramsay claimed on a TV program that was "released as a 17-year-old and was crushed, that is how I ended up becoming a chef" (I remember watching it) it even had Rangers legend Ally McCoist recalling GR as a young player. Hilarious, egg on both their faces.
7.) 31 Jan 2022 14:59:33
Debbie, amazing how high-achievers still feel the need to cheat! We see it in football all the time with Sterling/Kane etc diving. That tennis player banned from Aussie Open made multiple false statements.
8.) 31 Jan 2022 16:07:56
Deep Throat - I think this boils down to the ruthless "win at all costs mentality" it is drilled into athletes through all disciplines at an early age.
Look at some of the best forwards, they were very crafty. Bergkamp, Shearer, Henry or more recetnly Jota. They didn't cheat but knew /know how to draw a foul and stick in some strong challenges of their own.
9.) 31 Jan 2022 16:19:07
Strange how we’re favourites to sign players but as soon as another Club throws their hat in the ring Wolves pull out, not even willing to compete with Rangers for Ramsay.
10.) 31 Jan 2022 17:54:00
Wolves transfer strategy this window seemed to be younger players. Hoping the gamble pays off.
11.) 31 Jan 2022 18:15:44
Sorry Debs but a 'gamble' would suggest money has been spent, whereas all Fosun seem to be doing it saving pennies where ever they can! Unless of course its lining Gestufutes pocket as they seem very happy to do that (at the expense of our own transfer budget I might add)!
We lose one of our best players and replace him with a player who's only up to being sent to Grasshopper?! People will say that Fosun are being clever and they'd be right, fifth highest average season ticket in the league and replacing our best players with kids! You can call it clever I call it shameless ?
12.) 31 Jan 2022 19:55:06
Well that's it for this window according to Sky News.
25 Apr 2020 13:24:40
Olympiacos about to be banned for match fixing according to a report today. Oh dear, we have unfinished business with them at Molineux. I wonder if a ban would affect this?
1.) 26 Apr 2020 05:56:11
I saw that. Saying they are likely to be relegated to the Greek second league. I imagine they will also be blanket banned from all comps. With us going straight through.
2.) 26 Apr 2020 19:00:34
Funny old world if we went through to quarter finals that way. Not half as funny as Alan Pardew being saved from relegation, miles from safety, and all because the Dutch league has been declared null and void. Pardew claims he is not taking his bonus for avoiding relegation. Would have paid for a few taxis in Barcelona!
3.) 26 Apr 2020 23:58:29
This is probably academic anyway (as it could all be cancelled) but would it come into force this season then? Surely any punative measures they got would happen for the next tournament? Otherwise it wouldn't be fair on those teams they've already knocked out of the tournament? 🤔.
4.) 27 Apr 2020 08:41:35
Got a point there TBF bullys. Man City wouldn't get immediately kicked out of the CL for their mishaps. We will find out I'm sure. The resumption in August for european tournaments has been banded around a lot.
07 Jul 2016 16:54:52
today. Don't know if it is just Kenny keeping his hand in, or is it from Robin Li's side?
Real Betis, Aston Villa and Wolves are all interested in signing Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford on loan.
1.) 07 Jul 2016 18:54:15
Decent player but hopefully we'll not need loan captures soon! This waiting's tough, you could cut the atmosphere with a 'boing boing'. Talking of which, maybe we could buy WBA, flatten the Hawthorns and turn it into a car park for away fans whom we could transport to Molineux by High Speed Tram?
2.) 07 Jul 2016 20:39:57
I'm new to this site guys . Been watching all the posts from the last few days though. Really hoping for good news very soon. FWAW.

Sheffield Wednesday filed for administration today. A great old club like that, under dodgy ownership.
1.) 24 Oct 2025 15:53:47
Administration means that Accountants take over the club and repay the creditors in a certain order if assets are sold. Hopefully, they find a buyer for the club to avoid too many asset sales or a winding up order from a creditor.
It also means an automatic 12 point deduction. All considered it's not necessarily fatal for the club but not pleasant either.
2.) 24 Oct 2025 18:04:53
I honestly fear that scenario will/may happen to us if we lose our PL status under Fosun.
3.) 24 Oct 2025 19:18:32
That fear is not unreasonable NGSM but on the other hand with no top players to sell off each Summer for big money Fosun may actually find supporting a Championship club more palatable.
4.) 25 Oct 2025 03:48:37
I agree that the Burnley game represents a watershed. Lose and three defeats against the promoted sides surely signals the end for VP. I cannot see what it is he is trying to do, there is no decipherable style of play. Our pressing is haphazard and is so easy to bypass. Andre should sit in front of the back four and conduct play, like a quarter back. But in order to do that he has to execute passes beyond those 10 yard ones, which are his stock in trade. If he can’t move beyond these he needs replacing. Gomes and Munetsi should play as a two, ahead of Andre. They need to sit and attack the ball when the opportunity arises. Not al, the time, which is what they are being asked to do now. The result of this tactical suicide is, we are the easiest midfield to bypass in the entire league. Statistics show this.
Front three is an issue. Strand Larsen is not aggressive enough so I would opt for Tolu. Bueno has sent in crosses galore that other teams forwards would relish, but Strand Larsen has not capitalised on.
Not sure Arias has the physicality required for this league, so would opt for support for Tolu to come from Fer Lopes and Rodrigo. If Bellegarde is fit I would replace Munetsi with him and push Marshall alongside Tolu.
24 Sep 2025 12:54:47
Is it me but do these cup matches look like they have been 'seeded'? I assumed the draw was chance but isn't it amazing how bigger teams have been kept apart?
Lincoln v Chelsea
Liverpool v Southampton
Huddersfield v Man City
Newcastle v Bradford City
Spurs v Doncaster
And of course:
Grimsby v Man U

3.) 24 Sep 2025 16:16:24
Trouble is, yes, they were kind of seeded in the fact that no team in European competition could be drawn against each other Deep throat.
They were drawn first in a random home/away fashion, then the other teams drawn randomly to face.
I don't know if that will be the case again tonight, but I imagine it will.

I don't know if the Ed will permit this long message, but I've received this report about the recent meeting between Jeff and the London Wolves Supporters Club:
A meeting with Wolves Chairman Jeff Shi
Date: Tuesday 9th September 2025.
London Wolves are proud to announce an informal meeting took place with the Chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, Jeff Shi, at The Parcel Yard, Kings Cross, London on Tuesday 9th September 2025. Jeff was accompanied by Max Fitzgerald [Head of Media] at Wolves FC.
The meeting was called at short notice on Jeff's request to meet some of the London Wolves members to discuss and get their views on how they feel the club is progressing. Unfortunately, on the day there was an underground tube strike which made it difficult for some members to attend, also the short notice discounted some members attending due to prior commitments. Nevertheless 10 members attended, some of whom had walked miles to attend and others had been stuck in traffic for hours.
The meeting was conducted in a very casual, open, and friendly manner with no question 'off the table.' Jeff, for his part, responded equally openly and honestly.
It was refreshing to meet and be with someone who clearly wanted to be with Wolves Supporters and wanting to know in detail how London Wolves was formed, how long it had been operating, and what were the first games we attended as individuals.
The subjects covered ranged from the latest transfer window, present and previous managers of the club, as well as what Jeff really thought about the song about him from the terraces.
The first topic related to the latest transfer window and Jeff explained that Matheus Cunha was always destined to leave the club if the release clause figure was activated in his contract. Ryan Ait Nouri was slightly different and Wolves could have kept him, although Ryan had made it perfectly clear that he would not sign another contract or extension with the club. With only two years left on his contract it was appropriate that if another club came in for him at the right price Wolves would not stand in the players way. Nelson Semedo was offered a new four-year contract which sat on the table until he made his final decision to move to new challenges and pastures green. Fabio Silva was another topic and Jeff felt his young age had an impact on his lack of success at the club.
Regarding recruitment, there are no PSR [Premier League Profit and Sustainability Regulations] worries at the club and therefore this did not have any impact on decision making when considering transfers. Equally, there was no policy of 'sell before we buy' in place, which gave the recruitment team a clear field to operate in. Of course, Wolves wanted to bring new players in as early as possible to give Vitor the longest time to work with the player and that the players to be able to settle down at their new club. This was not always possible due to the market and the reluctance of other teams to let their best players go, equally, the end of the window was also challenging as clubs were reluctant to let players go so close to the closure of the window which did not give them time to replace them.
Vitor had supplied a list a players he had identified for the team in the various positions [2 to 3 for each of the positions]. No player that was not on Vitor's list was recruited, the manager must always make these decisions and it is the Board and Owners job to support him, as confirmed by Jeff.
Jeff was asked about the 90% comment on recruitment being made and what it really meant. Reverting to the previous discussion on recruitment, he felt 90% had been achieved getting the right players in to support Vitor. He went on to say that the player had to be of a certain calibre to fit in at Wolves, not only as a player, but a person. The manager was very clear about that during his dealings and selection of potential players. Jeff acknowledged the squad was still a little bit light in some areas, but it was never about 'just bodies through the door.'
Jørgen Strand Larsen and the Newcastle United bids were next on the list. Jeff stated he had a meeting with Jørgen and told him he would not be sold. From the conversations between them it was clear Jørgen was not going to cause any problems and wanted to continue at the club, if that was the decision. In Jeff's words 'he is a good honest boy, ' which is really pleasing to hear.
Both Vitor and Jørgen have been offered new contracts and all parties are relaxed about them and these will be signed without any problems, which is a major plus for the club. Jeff is confident, like Vitor, that within 10 games the Team will gel together and climb the table.
The next topic concerned present and past managers. Jeff immediately stated he had made a number of mistakes regarding the appointment of managers for various reasons. We all agreed that we now have a very good capable manager who communicates very well and is very loyal to the club.
An interesting comment was made regarding the proposed plan [project]and if it was, working especially if Wolves find themselves at the wrong end of the table at Christmas time. Jeff reassured those present that Fosun would finance any additional players needed to ensure Premier League survival although that is only a back stop if things do not go to plan.
The main focus is to move the club and establish themselves further up the league. They want to align with clubs like Fulham and Crystal Palace rather than fighting off relegation.
Now back to the song - when asked, a wry smile came over Jeff's face and of course he has no power to orchestrate the songs from the terraces and recognises the frustration some supporters have. That is not to say Jeff does not feel the same or is dismissive about it.
One of the final questions to be put to Jeff was, 'how would you like Fosun to be viewed in the history of time regarding ownership of the club.' the answer was clear that they had facilitated the return of the good times back to the club.
The meeting lasted two hours but what did we really learn about the man who is Chairman of the football club?
This is my own personal take on this: Jeff is a most approachable, friendly person who clearly is dedicated and wants to do his best. He was honest and open when asked any questions. He was not evasive in anyway, and did not used political speak to try and deflect the question. He was honest about the mistakes he has made [after all, we all make mistakes and are only human]. He gave us all a great insight into the workings of the club behind the scenes, and at no time was he disrespectful or tried to blame anyone for any failings of the past, he took those broadly on his shoulders.
He wants to connect with supporters: he understands the challenges and also the restrictions of our club when competing with the top six. He understands players and managers aspirations and when it is the right time for a player and the club to part company. Also, the need to support the manager and ensure good communications and working relationships.
Walking away from the meeting back to the train, I felt I was very fortunate and privileged to be part of the meeting and given the opportunity to meet the man who is looking after our club, and long may it continue.
Hope this helps and if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
John

Fair enough Jeff.
2.) 17 Sep 2025 16:33:51
No questions about the future development of the stadium mentioned?
3.) 17 Sep 2025 18:49:23
That's an interesting post but to sum it up I am afraid Shi has come out with usual ambiguous and self defensive clap trap.
Wants to align Wolves with Palace and Fulham-so says the man who wanted Champions league football-and a club who were ahead of those other two until he and Fosun pulled the plug.
The argument about Silva being too young is laughable-the Premier league has been littered with young players who have gone onto achieve great things-he isn't good enough and he was Shi's reponsibility
4.) 17 Sep 2025 19:08:08
No explanation as to why players were turning us down in the window and moving to clubs Jeff aspires to.
Fear play for him meeting the group and being as candid as he was, although it seems it was fairly 'tame' in some respects.
OK he admits mistakes, I'd like to know what he's learnt from them.
Still, he had the guts to meet and seems an approachable sort and gives some sort of assurance of financial backing in January, but we may not be able to buy safety this time.
My big question would have been what would/will Fosun do if we were/are relegated.
5.) 17 Sep 2025 20:40:43
Questions answered, honestly maybe, but so many not even asked.

Intriguing article Deep.
Just surprised it doesn't appear on the London Wolves Supporters website?
Also who is John Webb, again seems to have no formal link to the LWS
organisation?
Also odd that Shi and Max F. came down to London to meet in such an unstructured way with so few fans. I say that appreciating the point about transport difficulties. Maybe a rearranged session would have been more appropriate?
Just sees an oddly structured piece.
8.) 18 Sep 2025 08:20:30
Great feedback Deep, as fans we tend to get caught up in all he media hype and the so called supporters platforms feeding the frenzy.
Time to move on and get behind the club and owners for the season ahead.
9.) 18 Sep 2025 10:25:38
Thanks for sharing. Interesting but a lot of things unsaid. Be good if he does it again we could prepare some questions in advance. For someone to ask on our behalf.
08 Aug 2025 11:15:28
It's unbelievable how pessimistic fans are on here. Name me one PL team that finished their recruitment for the start of preseason, which some fans expect Wolves to do! Go on!
Gary O'Neil was a busted flush after that defeat to Coventry the season before last! He couldn't lift himself or the team. We went info freefall immediately, continuing into last season. VP came in and secured enough points to equate to a midtable finish over the whole season.
So, we're set for relegation and administration, and going to do a Sheffield Wednesday? I hope VP isn't reading this defeatist stuff!
1.) 08 Aug 2025 12:06:58
I'll tell you one Prem league team that HAS got stronger since we finished and that's Spurs! Whys that relevant, well becuase they are the ONLY team that finished below us and are still in this league! ?
Calm down Deep buddy, essentially your post just reads 'I can't believe people have a different opinion to me'?!
Also worth noting that VP doesn't need to read these pages fella “We have a good, strong team, but I’m a little worried about the situation" that was his own words about our transfer business and we've lost more players since then BTW! As I keep saying happy to discuss the window at the end of it (as always) but until then people are allowed to be worried, even if you don't agree ?
2.) 08 Aug 2025 12:38:01
Calm down Deep buddy, essentially your post just reads 'I can't believe people have a different opinion to me'
I appreciate you opinion but, sorry Bully, my post does not read like that. When people start predicting relegation, administration and virtually going out of existence as a club, that is getting ridiculous. We haven't even reached the end of the window, and some people are predicting mid-1980-s style disaster for us as a club.
3.) 08 Aug 2025 12:54:13
I don't think the window can be judged until it shuts. That's the case for a few teams. Do I think we're going to go down? No. Did I think we'd go down after the Ipswich game last December? Yes. Was I wrong? Yes.
My point is there are so many variables a lot can happen between now and next May and if we could predict the outcomes either football would be boring or we'd be rich off bets.
My worry with Fosun is simply can they grow revenue, because the league is getting more expensive to stay in and there are probably 30-40 clubs who could be big enough for the Premier League and only 20 places up for grabs.
That being said there are enough fraudulent owners out there ripping the heritage out of local communities and despite Fosun being driven by investment I don't think they should be compared to Sheffield Wednesday's owner. Getting owners who could take the club forward more than Fosun have is a massive gamble, but whoever did we're light years away from having the resources of the top 6 and even further away thanks to the restrictions PSR place on owners as other clubs have found to their expense.
By all means be frustrated, be angry even, but remember things could be worse and we should spare a thought for the Morecambe and Sheffield Wednesday fans who might not have a club to go and watch soon who would probably all trade places with us wolves fans without hesitation.
4.) 08 Aug 2025 13:19:42
Deep with respect labelling other fans as negative or pessimistic is wearing a bit thin now. How many of those other clubs you compare us to are set up to sell off their best players out of financial necessity each year forcing them into the market hunting for replacements and not necessarily even upgrades.
No one else in the Premier League is doing what Fosun are trying to do at Wolves as financial security is best addressed by increasing income year on year by growing revenue streams that can be consolidated, such as ground expansion, sponsorships, merchandising, etc, that's what the other clubs you mention are doing.
VP is, in my mind, a great manager and he rescued us from certain relegation last season and irrespective of his public comments will need the club to back him as they have in truth done when you consider last Xmas and this window so far. Yes we still need a few more and I'm sure he'll get them, will they be better than the players we had, who knows?
How will VP feel, however, when he works his socks off to build a new side that meets or even outperforms expectations only to have it's key players sold off next summer, unless the penny really has dropped in Shanghai? So yes, let's see how tomorrow goes as an indicator and see where we really stand as the season starts, none of which will change my thoughts on Fosuns current policies, however.
It's not criticism of the club it's just pointing out that Fosun are misguided. I don't think I or others would have lasted as a Wolves fan, in my case, for 60 years witnessing the highs and lows of that period had I/they have been a pessimist.
Most Wolves fans will have ambitions to see their club do well so maybe just swap the words negative and pessimistic for disappointed. This has been going on for some years now.
5.) 08 Aug 2025 13:35:40
And that's THEIR opinion! It's fine if you don't agree but they are allowed to have that opinion mate, simple as that. For me I'm actually somewhere between the two. I think weather we go down this year or not will essentially come down to how good the three that have come up are (yet again) and on that I have not a clue! I do however think that the clubs current trajectory/approach will end in relegation unless we have actually learnt anything from last season! Like I keep saying let's discuss it at the end of the window, till then peeps will continue to make predictions. As I've said before there's always a moan when peeps predict relegation but those same posters may also found it tedious to keep being told 'next stop mid table' despite EVERYTHING (including the stats) saying otherwise?! I don't think it's helped that we have looked truly woeful preseason. And yes before people say 'it's just a friendly' that may be true but not winning a single one of them hardly helps fans (or the team) go into the season with confidence does it?! ?
6.) 08 Aug 2025 13:40:59
I think Brentford will struggle after selling Flekken, Mbuemo and Norgaard. Henderson is a good experienced buy as is Kelleher but the rumours are that Wissa wants out and Collins is wanted by Liverpool.
7.) 08 Aug 2025 13:47:39
Deep Wolves have debts of £300m and a cost base of over £250m.
If they are relegated, far far from an unlikely event given the trend over the past few seasons and the sale of the better players in the squad, ( again this summer ), income drops to well under £100m including parachute payments.
You don't need to be a financial wizard to realise that doesn't end well!
That is the ridiculous part of all this.
However as with several other posters you simply deny the facts and offer nothing constructive.
Tell me what- other than Vitor is a genius or the new players, despite absolutely no evidence to suggest they will be, turn out to be world beaters or Toti has morphed into Franz Beckenbauer over the summer - are your to quote the late Ian Dury "reasons to be cheerful"
I'm sorry you don't like my posts but I prefer to deal with facts and evidence not blind hope.
The window hasn't shut so there is still time to change things but just believing or wanting to believe it will happen doesn't mean it will.
What I can't understand is why you and several others are so calm? Why, despite all the evidence of Wolves, ("managed"?), decline since Seville - the league table is pretty clear and damning the accounts likewise - aren't you angry with Jeff/Fosun
Wolves under Nuno were respected, remember the "mind the gap" comments aimed at Villa - that has not aged well - they played in Europe and cup semis.
When I watch now I am always looking at my watch - can Wolves hang on to a 0-0. I am nervous. Under Nuno I was calm and enjoyed the football - you knew Wolves wouldn't concede and would eventually score - it was fantastic!
Don't you want that back?
8.) 08 Aug 2025 13:53:45
Tbf Bullyboy there’s different opinions and then there’s what seems to be opinions based on fear stating the very worst case scenarios, which seem to ignore the fact we are still spending large amounts of money and signing potentially quality players.
As for spurs getting stronger is that really the case? They have signed Kudus who replaced their best player and captain in Son, they have also signed players who were on loan last season (when we do that people don’t count them as new signings). Other than that they have signed some very young cb’s again when we do that there would be questions about their readiness for the prem being so young. And they have signed an ageing dm in Palhinha replacing a younger Hojbjerg whilst also losing Reguilon and Werner. Arguably not stronger at all. Is their transfer business all done already, I doubt it, is any teams? No and I think that’s the point. Why do people get so annoyed with our business we have signed 3 players already, yes we need more but clearly the club is trying. Screaming relegation and comparisons with teams in dire positions just feels a bit ott imo but I’m always optimistic I guess.

If your referencing me and yorkswolf Deep, then please read what we said again, it was a 'fear that it could happen to wolves', and I said that fear for the future was a comparison to us, asking who rescue us again. I also said who knows what might happen, that we might be surprised and that I didn't want to be pessimistic but the was little to be optimistic about at the moment. Let's be honest, Deep, have we in all honesty got a team ready to climb into the top half? Are we proving successful in recruitment? Have we looked the part in any of the 3 games so far?
I added that a convincing performance tomorrow was needed and no excuses.
Like every wolves fan I want the best in every way for this club. I always hope, I always believe even when I know the chips are against us, but we also cannot ignore the reality sometimes.
I believe in VP, I believed in GON until I realised he could go no further. I also very much believed in lops. I believe in wolves, we just don't know what the future holds. Let's get behind the lads tomorrow, rouse them up and show celta Vigo how we can play and put some optimism in the club. COYW.

Who are the big players we've sold over the last few season?
Cunha? AIT? Neves? Neto? Kilman?
Ask yourself this. How much did the club pay for them and how much were they sold for?
How much did we pay for Joao Gomes, Andre, Strand Larsen and how much are they worth now?
Let's face it, we are not a club that can buy big names players. We are a club that buys cheap, develops then sells for a profit to buy more potential.

That is by design Wandering as our multi billionaire owners, wealthier in fact than the owners of some of the teams above us have chosen that route.

I think Deep has a point to be fair, I don't think we will be as bad as folk are worried about, the 3 players coming in are good additions. yes a few key players have gone, but I still think we will recruit players that will make us stronger, its time for patience and not all the negativity.
VP know how he wants the team set up, and he will achieve that, Fosun will not make the same mistake again, they want to clear the wage bill a bit, as one or 2 were getting big wages for very little input, that has now been done in my eyes, so I would expect to see 1 or 2 more players coming in.

Just have to say, top response TFG! As always buddy you've put it FAR better than I could! ?
This is the thing that I find frustrating on here, that it's almost political (with our two party system) your either 'team we are doomed' or team 'Fosun are leading us to the promise land'! There's no margin in between, and increasingly little room for debate/discussion it would seem (on both sides in fairness:)!
Whatever you say Deep buddy peeps are right/justified to feel worried looking at the current squad (and I REALLY do mean squad here)! Cause in the last friendly we had 20 grown ups playing (Wolfe wasn't in time in fairness) but the rest of the bench was just kids! With that it's worth pointing out that two were keepers and you only switch those if there's an injury! So with that in mind it's currently 20 outfield grown ups (including Wolf) for any given Prem game! We've had (literally) kids filling in the gaps which is fine for a friendly but in the modern game you need 16 decent players just to compete over 90 min's! What happens if Larsen (and even just off those 20 mins) Arias (who I already feel like could be key to our suvival) get injured for 2/3 months or worse both of um at the same time?! Will we just chuck Munetsi and Hwang up there and hope for the best agaisnt Chelsea etc?!
Now again this all comes back to the window, cause if between now and it closing we sign 4/5 players (mostly) ready for the Prem then this 'mid table' prediction may well come true! But for now, if you look at our Sqaud outside of a (fully fit starting 11) then I'm sorry but peeps are right we could be in REAL trouble!
Let's hope we all get our way and we get those needed players through the door and we can all agree for ONCE!?
But until then peeps are allowed to be nervous and your allowed to disagree (obvs:) but let's ALL just try not to assume that because its not OUR opinion then that makes anyone less of a fan or wanting/choosing to be negative! We are all here for the same reason, cause we love the Wolves! ????

David Moyes was reported yesterday as saying that Everton need 9-10 new signings!
It's really only 3-4 of the richest clubs that have strengthened in this window. Wolves are far from being the laggards.

Sadly this will keep happening. The richest clubs keep getting richer and it’s not a level playing field and has not been that way for a long time. When pool can spend close to half a billion and not have to worry about PSR you have to think what chance to promoted teams have?
2.) 04 Aug 2025 18:34:47
I totally agree that it is not a level playing field. I gave up long ago thinking that the Wolves could ever be on a par with the likes of Liverpool again. Each season has been not enjoyable knowing this.
Sad state of affairs.

Wolves fan man can't be Dele Alli. He would have signed off sick by now with repetitive strain injury after writing 3 posts on this website!

Brighton did well in spite of selling their top players. Southampton didn't. When clubs like us buy or develop top players, realistically they won't want to stay long. GON was no doubt getting his excuses in early. That said, Jeff at Wolves is no match for Tony Bloom at Brighton. That's where we are lacking, at the very top. Fosun need to appoint a new chief executive with a track record of success and give him absolute authority.

Dele Alli from Como? Didn't Perry Como have a big hit with Catch a Falling Star? Maybe Dele has fallen too far.

Good idea to ask players such as Larsen to get their mates to sign for Wolves, assuming they are targets of VP.

I think the ice cream in Napoli is better than Wolverhampton's best. Just one cornetto.
23 Oct 2025 11:32:01
Long, football is a business at the end of the day. There's no way in hell that Fosun would voluntarily let Wolves be relegated as that would destroy their business investment. It's not part of the plan, although some fans think so. But you're right, something changed. We can't have this relegation battle season after season, it's death by a thousand cuts. The owner should replace Jeff with a chairman or CEO with top level experience in England, and start again with that 10-year business plan from 2016.

I think Jeff knows'cos he probably injected himself. Might explain a few decisions.
16 Oct 2025 14:54:13
I presume Moby must be referencing the 1939 cup final defeat against Portsmouth when the Wolves players were injected with monkey glands. Strange but true.
15 Oct 2025 11:47:05
Great post by LongmyndWolf. Many a true word said in jest and not so far fetched. A legendary Wolves manager, Major Frank Buckley, actually injected himself and the players with monkey glands, just before the 1939 FA cup final against Portsmouth. Wolves were hot favourites, but lost 4-1.
VP, please don't copy.

We haven't replaced Cunha? We can replace so and so but how would a club like Wolves be able to replace Cunha? We couldn't afford a replacement of the same quality and such a player wouldn't come to us anyway. The trick is to find a player who can become another Cunha. Maybe a promising £20mil signing or even young Mane?
