WW stands for Wonderful Wolves, and they were that today. The discussions have been what price Neto, my question is what price Gomes. He was magnificent. I'm sure a top six club will come knocking. Next up Sheffield United a team that will try and disrupt at any cost.
1.) 18 Feb 2024 13:00:18
Many of our players will be wanted. Our players need to decide if they want regular play time with Wolves and build something or a potentially only a backup role in a big 6. Think Matheus Nunes with City now. I know I personally would want to play. Wolves need to continue upping contract pay to these main guys so they have less incentive to leave.
2.) 18 Feb 2024 14:08:36
Many of our players may indeed be wanted, however we are in a strong position as most of them have at least 2 years left on their contract so any interested clubs will have to pay top dollar.
3.) 18 Feb 2024 15:14:45
£100 million, Neto.
£80 million Cunha.
£80 million Gomes.
Not a penny less.
4.) 22 Feb 2024 07:47:16
That's over a 1/4 of a billion Lostcity 38 years ago 1986 £65, 000 for Bully and Thommo.
5.) 22 Feb 2024 07:48:55
Ps saying that kilman was it £35, 000 how much he worth now 30 million maybe.
6.) 04 Mar 2024 13:25:28
£80M for Neto is exceptional price for his goal return, £50M if he stays fit for another 10 weeks would be good.
Cunha not worth any more than we paid for him until he shows he can perform over more than a full season
Gomes is going to be worth £50+ if he develops as much as he has done already, maybe £80 one day but not currently
Biggest job this summer is turning some of the loanees into a pot of gold, in Matt we trust
7.) 04 Mar 2024 15:21:57
Changing the subject, I heard Mr Lineker state again that Wolves have not scored from outside the box, I seem to remember a certain Tommy Doyle scoring a belter against Brentford from well outside the box. Admittedly it was a cup game but a goal is a goal. I'm sure that when Lineker played and totted up his goal tally for a season he included all cup and league games.
24 Aug 2023 20:31:15
I'm a New Zealander and have followed Wolves for decades I'm 75 years old, my source for Wolves rumours is via Wolves Rumours/Banter and Express Star. Can someone please clarify where Wolves currently stand. Are Fosun selling is Jeff Shi still involved, are Wolves selling players because of FFP.
1.) 24 Aug 2023 20:56:49
The only honest answer is that no-one really knows what the status of the club is. Only time will tell.
2.) 24 Aug 2023 21:17:18
No-one knows for sure it's all speculation but the rumours are gaining more traction by the day, I believe we are up for sale based on what i'm seeing, but ofcourse that isn't a dead cert it is just my belief.
3.) 24 Aug 2023 22:16:24
Yes LindsayB, someone can answer your question. That someone is Jeff Shi, but he won’t. You could try giving him a call to express your displeasure and you can tell him I’m not happy either. Better you divert your energies to supporting the All Blacks!
4.) 24 Aug 2023 22:52:10
Not a rugby fan but thank you for your post.
5.) 25 Aug 2023 04:16:24
has fans are saying all rumour's at the moment most of us think something is going on why sell players making the team weak and not replacing them not even loan players its getting very toxic with the fans forsun/jeff shi can only blame themselves
6.) 25 Aug 2023 06:47:50
Not a rugby fan? Strewth LindsayB, be careful saying that or the Kiwi’s will revoke your citizenship!
7.) 25 Aug 2023 10:10:48
I understand your point Rated but what is it you're seeing that makes you believe we are up for sale? Expressions of interest from qualified buyers? Consortiums being put together? There is zilch!
Fosun are not mugs. We are not dealing with an entity like the Bhatti Brothers here. If Fosun ever want to sell, they will very publicly appoint a merchant bank to run the whole process and to achieve the maximum sale price possible. The Premier League will be involved in vetting a number of potential buyers. When Fosun bought us in 2016 they were just one of a large number of bidders.
There is not a single piece of concrete evidence that we are for sale, just fans reporting and repeating rumours.
8.) 25 Aug 2023 11:49:05
Deep Throat there are posters on other sites who have been heavily involved in takeovers. There view is what Fosun are currently doing indicates a takeover or preparation for one.That is my experience as well.
As for using a Merchant bank is that what Morgan did?
9.) 25 Aug 2023 13:32:44
Wittonian, so you're just repeating 'views' of other posters! My view is what Fosun are currently doing is.running a football club.nothing more, nothing less.
The sale from Morgan to Fosun in 2016 took such a long time that Lopetegui reneged on his agreement to coach Wolves then.
A £400mil sale in the Premier League today is a totally different animal to a £30mil sale in the Championship in 2016. Fosun would appoint a specialist merchant bank to vet the finances and credibility of every interested party, of which there would be many.
10.) 25 Aug 2023 14:30:04
Get what you're saying Deep mate, it's just my beliefs as so many rumours about it on the level I saw when Morgan sold us to Fosun, it is just a case of wait and see what happens.
11.) 25 Aug 2023 14:33:48
Well said Deep Throat.
12.) 25 Aug 2023 15:32:48
Good thread. I have to be honest here the more I look at it the more I think Deep is (saddly:) absolutely right! And Wit I wouldn't beleive a word those posters say about 'being heavily involved in take overs' cause there's absolutely nothing to show there's any truth in it (basically the same as all the idk stuff which is almost always trolls/fake)!
I think what is more interesting is how desperate we all seem to be to WANT to believe that we are up for sale (and yes I very much include myself in that so not pointing fingers)! What does it say about Fosuns ownership that we've all snow balled along with this sale rumour?! When as Deep quite rightly says there's not a single shred of genuine news to actually back said rumour?! Seems like a pretty damming review of Fosuns work that we are all seemingly desperate to see them gone right now?! I actually think their biggest mistake right now (and there seem to be many) is the complete lack of PR! This level of discontent from the fans is almost entirely because Jeffs lost all credibility and all we have had to explain the current crisis our club seems to be in is a mealy mouthed letter (which most of us wouldn't wipe something with:)!
Deep is right though, when you look at it openly there is not a single piece of GENUINE news that suggests we are being sold! Saddly guys I think we are all wishful thinking and that's the REAL tragedy to this story! Jeff needs to get this house in order else (as I predicted before) we will start to see banners at games and I doubt Fosun will like um much! COYW ?
13.) 25 Aug 2023 15:37:00
Deep - strongly suspect that everything you say in the 2 posts in the thread above is correct particularly regarding the manner in which Fosun would act.
However far from certain re the £400m. Sadly whilst we were def worth that and more in the aftermath of Seville today I fear that ship has more than sailed.
If we go down and that has to be possible ( I still think we have enough to survive although rumours of further sales are scary!) the value of the club would plummet as most of the squad would have to be sold - simply can't afford the amort let alone the wages - and it is quite possible that we would struggle in the Championship both on and off the pitch.
Any buyer will be aware of that.
Note also that the underlying financial position - (the FFP issue) is v v weak.
Although we have lots of posters saying there can't be a problem or that the sale of Neves will have solved it (Along with the other sales this summer it presumably has for this year, (23/24) but obviously not next (24/25) year!) I'm far from certain that is the case.
Look at the latest accounts and extrapolate.
Turnover if we stay in the Prem is going nowhere ( if we get relegated it plummets)
But our principal costs wages and amorts currently vastly exceed turnover even before we buy a pint of milk a football or turn on the lights.
Those amorts and wages are reasonably easy to project given you know the tranfer dealings and the new contracts awarded.
Although it may not feel it we have made lots of "transfers in" recently the guys in Jan plus Cunha and Traore this summer.
plus of course "settled" with two management teams!
Consequently I thnk we are probably losing circa 60-70m a year pre players sales for the next couple of years until the amorts/contracts start to unwind in the summer of 2025.
Buyers will also be aware of that!
We have overspent massively and badly under Shi since Seville and the chickens are coming home to roost!
thanks Jeff!
14.) 25 Aug 2023 16:21:38
When Morgan sold, everybody new he was selling.
15.) 25 Aug 2023 16:25:09
I get what everyone is saying but there's not a single piece of evidence out there that we are for sale. Not even clickbait from a dodgy copycat football site. Just beliefs, views and hunches etc. Maybe just wishful thinking?
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE a sale to go though. When Morgan sold us in 2016 he fired the starting pistol on the process and I think Moxey said they had about 15 credible bidders amongst the timewasters.
16.) 25 Aug 2023 17:14:51
This summer could all be down to ffp but not how people are expecting. We all know you are allowed to make 105 million loss over 3 years if it is underwritten by the owners. Where as if the owners won’t underwrite the loss it is only 15 million. So it could be fosun realigning us to be self funding luke they said we had to be all along.
17.) 25 Aug 2023 17:27:30
There are opinions coming from deep within Molineux that we are for sale (rumours, granted). They are accompanied by concerns over the financial health of Fosun Int.
Fosun stock rise
As for public sale - It is unlikely Fosun would publicly market the club, as it would be unnerving for their financial partners / investors. Only once a suitor is found, the details will start to emerge.
Unsettling as it may be, sale is our best hope for both investment and stability. The apparent erratic management style can’t be endured for much longer without dire consequences - the best players leave, the club exits the premier. Those of us who remember the early 80’s know just how low the mighty can fall.
18.) 26 Aug 2023 07:43:01
Deep Throat read what I said please. I also mentioned my experience. Other posters elsewhere with great experience of takeovers are saying the same thing.
Lopetegui turned us down because he took the Spain job.
19.) 26 Aug 2023 13:01:20
This is what I don’t understand yes we’re selling players like hot dogs, but why aren’t we getting a few loan players through the door?
20.) 26 Aug 2023 14:05:48
That's the part none of us can understand Wolfie. When you break it down if we were doing that there wouldn't be half of this sale talk. Cause the way we are running things defies logic, so peeps are trying to find logic with theories. Entirely understandable in the vacuum that is our current PR dept! ?

My question was how would wolves fare against teams higher in the league than the ones beaten during the six game winning streak.Those teams will finish below wolves. We have taken no points in the last three games. Definitely need rebuilding next season.
1.) 21 May 2025 06:49:31
I really expected more last night.
Lindsey, agree, we need a very good summer, or on last night's performance, it will be another season like this one!
2.) 21 May 2025 07:11:42
In fairness it was city away, Brighton, who beat Liverpool the other night, and palace reserves (well almost- shame the reserve keeper didn't play), high on FA cup victory against our mixed bag in apparently roving positions, had guedes effort gone in we'd have a wonder goal to crow about and at least a point. We flattered them with the goals we gave away, but none the less next season will need some faces linhay.
3.) 21 May 2025 09:37:42
There will be no change next season and nothing will change until Shi and Fosun are gone

It's called being realistic Abbey-
6.) 21 May 2025 15:03:38
I'm just hoping that Fosun have come through their 3 year cost cutting/restructuring plan and a degree of sanity prevails. They'll never be big spenders but if they leave the money generated in the club that will be something I suppose.
I've got faith in the club but struggle with Fosun these days.
7.) 21 May 2025 20:45:55
Vitor is staying in a hotel and is going home to Portugal after the Brentford game.
8.) 21 May 2025 20:46:59
Thinking on, vitor has to know what he's dealing with, last night's team showed where we are and what we'll want. He now will know who can go and who's worth keeping, I'm sure there'll be some emotional Sundays game, and I'm expecting a strong turnout.
Back to VP knowing what's what, we'd hope he's got players in mind and money to spend, but in the reality nobody knows on here or another format. Fosun are their usual distance from us the fans, and I still fear they'll sell players and take what finances they can. That may leave little option for VP if he can't build a side to his liking.
Again Fosun owe it to all of us to be as open as they can in the intent for next season . How can they expect to sell season tickets and memberships if they don't?
10 May 2025 10:11:42
What is SUDU.
1.) 10 May 2025 11:09:51
Our shirt manufacturers Linsay, part of Fosun group, made in Manchester I believe, (?), Sudu (I've no idea if it's the same group), also made cycling shirts etc in USA, and an interesting definition from the net says it literally means 'feeding ducklings with a spoon', but who knows for certain?.
2.) 10 May 2025 12:25:17
Are you being serious?
3.) 10 May 2025 14:35:00
I most certainly was wandering.
4.) 10 May 2025 17:31:37
Not you Abbey. I was asking Lindsay B
5.) 10 May 2025 18:45:52
I thought you meant the duckling bit wandering, that's some weird definition, the actual Chinese means 'speed/velocity'.
26 Apr 2025 23:36:00
Next week's game versus City could be a classic. Both teams in good form both having something to play for, City trying to cement their European chances and Wolves adding to their winning streak. Now that Wolves have dealt with some lower placed teams, it would be nice to see a win against a top six team.
1.) 27 Apr 2025 00:24:50
Great game today and a superb atmosphere at Molineux. VP has worked wonders and created a real team spirit. We have done over a few top six, and weren't Man U and Spurs top six?
2.) 27 Apr 2025 08:06:02
Only in ancient history Wimborne.
3.) 27 Apr 2025 08:39:14
Would love to beat city lindsay, but got to be realistic too, don't get me wrong I'm trusting VP but city away is going to be a mammoth task.
Do we want them to win or lose against forest today to give us a psychological advantage? Guess it's near nor there, tho extra time and penalties wouldn't go amiss.
4.) 27 Apr 2025 10:59:02
Does anyone know if we had a 7 game run of tier 1 wins and if so when? I'm guessing likely 60/61 or 62/63 in the embers of the Cullis years. That said I don't think we will win on Friday, but we've done it before.
5.) 27 Apr 2025 15:26:10
We are currently one of the Premiership's top teams. Man City are currently an average Premiership team. I reckon we will comfortably beat them 2-0 with Cunha and Strand Larsen getting the goals.
6.) 27 Apr 2025 20:38:51
Love your optimism Lostcity.Man City are currently second in the last 5 games form league behind you know who.
7.) 27 Apr 2025 20:45:29
Like your optimism LCW. I honestly believe this team is now on a par with the team under Nuno and we should fear no one. It won't be easy, but I'm going 1-2 Wolves victory.
20 Apr 2025 22:23:29
What a relief, what a season. Talk about a season of two halves. At the beginning it was when are Wolves going to win a game. Now it's when are Wolves going to lose. Well done lads.
1.) 21 Apr 2025 19:01:45
Are we now a better team without Cunha?
Was it a coincidence that we looked lacklustre against MU, or was it that we always look to pass the ball through Cunha and as a result JSL gets little to no service and we become one dimensional.
As far as I can see we are far less predictable and therefore far more dangerous and surprisingly more organised without him in the team.
2.) 22 Apr 2025 07:43:55
I actually think we play at better without him, Cunha is a good player however he believes his own hype and that will ruin him
05 Apr 2025 21:59:29
Wer'e almost there, a song sung by Andy William's. Wolves were on song today especially the second half.Goals scored by two players regularly criticized by Wolves fans. The signing of the season for me was the appointment of Pereria as coach. He brought belief into the Wolves players.
1.) 05 Apr 2025 23:41:09
So Ipswich huffed and puffed but got nowt
After scoring early were they in with a shout
VP and the boys had other plans for this game
It's better now, it's not just more of the same
Ipswich do lack quality that's a fact
Even their keeper getting in on the act
A back pass had him deceived
Just cleared it in time, the home crowd relieved
An indirect free kick from the six yard line
It fell to Agbadou, blocked, but that's fine
VP reads the game, his subs inspired
A double substitution replaced the tired
On came Sarabia, a performance he owed
Commensurate with the talent he was bestowed
Seven minutes on and he scored from the edge of the box
That VP he's a wily old fox
So that pulled us level with all to play for
Wolves pushed on to open that final door
Gomes had come close hitting the upright
A thumping shot, but no fans delight
In control, that's for sure
A win would make that trip easier to endure
Larsen of late playing like a man possessed
Proving his worth, were his talents suppressed
Without Cunha he shown us all
He's not just tall, but good with the ball
He started the day with 10 but he wanted 11
Could he send the fans home in seventh heaven
As if working to a script Wolves scored a second
Larsen took advantage as the opportunity beckoned
Sarabia set him up with a volleyed cross in
He didn't miss, that would have been a sin
The clock wound down and the whistle blew
Jubilant scenes did then ensue
On the pitch and the fans to a man
A good team performance no one to berate
To avoid the 'R' word seems to be our fate
While still not quite safe and secure
A season from hell we've had to endure
So come on Fosun, if you give a jot
Time to p**s or get of the pot
