Manchester United have no active interest in Joao Gomes, despite reports recently.
Wolves have no knowledge of any interest from Manchester United and United insist talks between clubs have not happened.

Official now Edwards has signed.
1.) 12 Nov 2025 14:36:43
Just read his comments, it doesn't fill me with confidence. EDWRDS and SHI OUT!
I am of course being flippant.
Here's to Rob turning things around.
2.) 12 Nov 2025 16:10:08
Interesting choice of first team coach Harry Watling, also from Middlesbrough he must be one of the youngest to achieve full badges.
3.) 12 Nov 2025 17:07:20
Tbf Fordhouses mate Shi does need to go.
4.) 13 Nov 2025 06:24:56
Reports suggesting Matt Jackson is set to become Wolves’ new sporting director.
Interesting re-set. Means Shi is sacking himself from that role, which is a start.
Now just resign full stop!
5.) 13 Nov 2025 07:48:34
I think it’s a token appointment rug, shi will be calling the shots as always
6.) 13 Nov 2025 10:46:28
Football will be Matts input but wages, fees and contracts will be Shi's responsibility I suspect.
08 Nov 2025 17:50:19
It's done guys Wolves have agreed deal to appoint Rob Edwards as their new head coach after Vitor Pereira got sacked.
Edwards will leave Boro and sign for Wolves - source Fabrizio Romano

Matt Slater via The Athletic pdcast "The market believes Wolves have been trying to sell the club for some time and would love for someone to come along and take the club off their hands for some where around £350-400m"
Credit to The Wolfpack on X for this.
1.) 04 Nov 2025 22:24:21
Thanks Rated, I think we all hoped this was the case.
2.) 05 Nov 2025 06:33:21
The lack of communication from Guangchang, fuels this theory Rated.
It is clear Fosun now have no interest in Wolves.
3.) 05 Nov 2025 08:38:39
I'm not surprised to hear the Matt Slater story. Sometimes the best way to sell a business is to pretend that you have no interest in selling. The old 'reluctant seller' trick can make the buyer think they are getting a bargain. In Wolves' case, it's the buyers who are reluctant, if they exist at all.
4.) 05 Nov 2025 09:49:40
I bet they would!
I would love someone to pay me £350m for my house!
Personally my view is that it is currently worth far far less than £350m already. ( See post comparing Wolves value with Brentford that recently sold a stake valuing it at £400m).
Also sadly for Fosun if Wolves get relegated the value will drop dramatically.
Additionally it is also quite possible that over the next year or so Wolves will go into administration and therefore would be available for whatever it can be sold for - not much more than zero!
It would therefore not surprise me to see Fosun continue to extract value as rapidly as they can in full knowledge that there is no buyer coming over the hill to save them.
5.) 05 Nov 2025 11:55:30
Seems a bit OTT to me comments on administration and asset stripping.
They were after Pubill, Casado and Juanlu Sanchez.
Probably did miss out on Guessand, Abline and others aswell (Harvey Elliott for example).
Don't get me wrong they should have done better in the summer but by all accounts they did as much as they could to sign those players but they didn't want to come.
Arguably all those players have missed out as none of them are playing every week.
That is buying in European football target territory not relegation zone. Which as fans is what we want. Its easy to forget the circumstances of the summer and blame Fosun and Vitor.
I actually think the team will come good before the end of the season. If we revert to a back 5 and stick with the same defensive players.
I feel Larsen, Hwang, Agbadou etc need to pull there socks up its a WC next summer.
I would bring Sa and Doc back into the side mainly because Sa is a great shot stopper and feel he would have stopped some of the goals conceded the past few weeks.
Doc brings experience and allows Jackson to get further forward.
Yes they did concede a Sunderland first goal but I thought it was a good goal by Sunderland.
A back 5 is the answer and a manager that can bring that in and get results ASAP is a priority.

Madman - undoubtedly a doomsday scenario but what is your version?
Do you honestly think Wolves have got to this position - losing £80m pa, (pre player sales), more than Brentford, whilst plummeting down the table - with Jeff trying his best to run the club for the benefit of the club?
I agree that he is incompetent but surely no one can be this bad.
If so can you answer where the money goes/has gone - Wolves have a cost base of over £250m and debt of well over £300m.
It has not been on player transfers as net transfer figures over the past few years are negligible nor on the stadium?
Neither is it on player wages as the player wage bill is widely reported as very modest compared to the total cost base?
Going forwards though if Wolves are relegated and if Jeff is as incompetent as you believe how on earth does he square off income off well under £100m - including a parachute payment the club may not still have as it has been mortgaged, along with the lease on the stadium - and a cost base of over £250m of which over £180m is cash.
Not sure I followed the first part of your argument are you saying the players bought were top quality - evidence v v thin - or that the players they didn't sign but allegedly tried to were top quality players?
My thesis is that Fosun - due to covid - needed to raise cash and Wolves were the milch cow chosen
Thus Jeff is not trying to do his best for Wolves but his best for Fosun - a very different thing.
Sadly however which ever way you look at it he has done a terrible job for everyone because he is incompetent.
The only positive is that if this is the case Jeff might be able to reduce the cost base once Wolves are relegated if Fosun accepts the well has run dry but even then it is surely going to be v hard in the short term to service all of the capital and operating obligations without the wholesale disposal of the squad?
In the medium term the players left are unlikely to survive in the championship potentially leading to a vicious spiralling down similar to the one previously suffered by the club in the early 80s.
Survival this season is therefore essential to the medium term rebuild of the club but unlike you I think the road to survival from where they are today is very very tight indeed!
Sorry.

The way I see it is a bit different and far more complex to be honest TFIOG.
I think allegations of asset stripping are unfair they spent £166m in the summer. Yes they did sell Cunha and RAN but both players had served decent number of year at Wolves. RAN had been here 5 years and Cunha 3.5 years. Both wanted to go.
In terms of the 'loss' you refer to this will be accountants doing there magic. Any company can write off certain losses and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC can do this as well.
Again I say WWFC as the club is a separate business to Fosun. So the commercial revenue of £270m-£350m is what the club generates. Interestingly the Premier league payments are never discussed as part of the commercial revenue either. Not sure why this is the case I guess it is not seen as part of the commercial revenue the club disclose from tickets, sponsorship of the kit / stadium etc.
To be clear commercial revenue includes sponsorship, merchandising, revenue from other commercial operations and non-football events. So E-Sports do makes money from younger fans that shouldn't be underestimated.
So a share of the commercial revenue (after ensuring all liabilities are paid are for transfers, increased wages etc).
We had a clear PSR bill with the sales of the past two season this summer and even further sales this summer.
Wolves wanted to sign players but were outplayed by the monsters of the league. Due to not having european football and Teti not starting earlier IMO.
I think the signings of Pubill, Sanchez and Casado would have been fantastic to be honest. And Guessand and Harvey Elliott seem like other options the club looked at.
We need a manager to play a back 5 and pick up points then sign a forward with pace in January. Its not over yet.
8.) 06 Nov 2025 15:59:07
Madman - you do see it differently to me.
However I'm not sure what you see and where you see it?
For example it is widely acknowledged that Wolves spent nothing like £166m this summer and commercial revenues according to the audited accounts are under £27m not the £270m to £350m you quote.
But again if your numbers were correct - which they aren't - how do you explain where the money goes.
If Wolves generated such vast sums why are they so heavily in debt and why other than "magic" do they lose so much money?
Also arguing that Wolves failed to buy good players is not really a very strong argument is it?
Mine may be a doomsday scenario but it is rational and based upon facts your thesis is not complex but merely that of a fan, like several other on here desperate to be loyal to Jeff but without any basis in truth - why?
03 Nov 2025 16:39:41
3 potential managers were interviewed today Gary O'neil, Brendan Rodgers and Sam Allydyce.
The thought is Wolves want someone in by Friday so they get the international break with the players, funds will be available in January too.
As many have already posted O'neil is odds on favourite.
But on another note the second round of the womens fa cup Wolves v Stoke will be shown live on TNTsports1 21st November 7:30pm.
1.) 03 Nov 2025 17:34:23
Sevlow if you're going to keep trying to wind me up don't bother as I will ignore you pal.
2.) 03 Nov 2025 17:47:12
Maybe Gary is being considered as an assistant to someone like Rodgers? Gary's knowledge of the club and playing staff might help Rodgers (or someone else) to hit the ground running.
3.) 03 Nov 2025 18:22:54
I'm thinking the same deep
4.) 03 Nov 2025 18:28:10
Good shout deep mate it'd give Gary that experience he needs too.
5.) 04 Nov 2025 08:37:19
Thanks for the Women's Fa Cup info Rated.
6.) 04 Nov 2025 08:43:48
Deep Throat, O'Neil only knows 12 players from his time at Molineux, the others came after he left, so basically he knows only half the squad.
7.) 04 Nov 2025 10:19:29
OAP, half a loaf is better than none. Whoever else comes in probably won't know a single one of the Wolves squad! I remember Solbakken's collection of DVD's of the Wolves matches, didn't do him much good. We're going to need someone with in-depth knowledge of the PL and who will command the respect of the players.

Wolves have been drawn at home to Shrewsbury Town in the third round of the FA Cup. Ties to be played around weekend of January 10th
1.) 08 Dec 2025 19:22:01
Think we can win that?
04 Dec 2025 23:13:32
Been a pretty good suggestion on X tonight on Monday we should arrive at our seats on 18 minutes and leave on 77 minutes show Fosun our heritage will not be destroyed by them.
1.) 05 Dec 2025 07:47:01
I would be behind that movement, rated. We can’t let our great club be destroyed by them.
2.) 05 Dec 2025 09:21:25
Nice idea, Rated, but although I think it would mean a lot to the fans I don’t think Fosun would even know the significance and wouldn’t care anyway. It wouldn’t help the players either.
We need to to do something though.
We need to to show Fosun in a bad light to their worldwide audience. Embarrass them and get them talked about negatively all over the world.
That’s what they care about - image.
Premiership games are shown live all over the world. Championship games are not!
We have to do it now. It’ll be too late next season.
Not sure what we do but … it has to be visual, TV audiences in foreign countries won’t hear chants and won’t understand them if they do.
Visual protests, demonstrations? banners? I don’t know ?♂️ any ideas?
3.) 05 Dec 2025 10:11:20
If enough were to blow whistles on the 18th and 77th minutes the ref would have to stop the game for a minute of so. That would be noted by tv broadcssters and hopefully explained.?
4.) 05 Dec 2025 11:28:47
I get the 1877 stuff of course but ‘tv broadcasters hopefully explaining’ no chance! They struggle to explain basic stuff at the best of times. Seriously guys you are allowing your passionate love for out great club to cloud your judgement. 1877 means nothing to Fosun, next to nothing to any TV broadcaster and by the time it’s travelled round the world it’ll mean absolutely zero to the people watching on the television. That’s my honest opinion. We need to think outside the box for example - the council are on the owners of the ground Fosun lease it from the council, so why don’t we demonstrate outside the council offices or write to the council demanding that they put pressure on the lessee I, e Fosun.
Maybe even write to your MP pointless writing to mine but their should be Wolverhampton MPs who care and have a concern for the club - that’s the sort of thing we should be doing, blowing whistles on 18 minutes or not turned up or leaving after 77 minutes might make you feel proud as a loyal fan but it ain’t going to do diddly squat sorry guys but that’s my opinion.
5.) 05 Dec 2025 11:55:47
I didn’t mean to dismiss the 1877 stuff and maybe that should play a part but I really think we need more. And it needs to be NOW! Once we are in the championship the opportunity will have gone. While we are in the premiership we can make this global. Once we are down it will be a local issue which the rest of the country will occasionally take a bit of notice of like we all did with Sheffield Wednesday but beyond this county no one will even know never mind care.
It’s now or never guys, we have to act, it will be too late after next May.
6.) 05 Dec 2025 13:50:41
Don't really see the council demo bit 3G, what can they do? The idea surely is to shame Fosun, get publicity. Stopping the game twice will make national press radio and TV surely?
The worldwide audience should witness it first hand and question the events, and with social media being what it is further explanation should follow.
Gotta be better than shouting outside council offices and local authorities.
No matter what Fosun have to be shown, I'm not convinced Shi reports accurately to his seniors, unless it's their bidding, let them know directly threw disrupting the game albeit very briefly.
7.) 05 Dec 2025 14:00:37
Thing is it'll be around 30 90 before everyone has arrived or left and everyone will be scratching their heads wondering what the heck does that mean!
8.) 05 Dec 2025 14:47:53
You might be right Abbey. Who knows? Not me that’s for sure. Although I wonder whether disrupting the game might bring penalties from the Premier league? Point deductions? Then again we’ve already got little chance of getting to Derby’s points total so I suppose we’ve got nothing to lose.
9.) 06 Dec 2025 06:41:10
Never thought of punishments 3G, but if the idea is to get a message across to Fosun, and given, as you say, our current situation what does it matter? Unless of course we carry.points deduction into the EDL.
I just despair being treated as cash cows to Fosun instead of them recognising our loyalties and history.
10.) 06 Dec 2025 09:08:42
EFL of course, sorry on typo there.
03 Dec 2025 22:02:02
Mane needs to be starting in the 15 minutes he was on he showed more passion, creativity and confidence than any of the other 10 on the pitch.
He even created chances.

If you really have zero tolerance why is Shi still in charge?
5.) 27 Nov 2025 09:50:58
Banners at the ground protesting Fosun's ownership and Shi out. The media love showing these protests and games are televised to a worldwide audience. Anything that can be done to show how Wolves supporters feel about Fosun's ownership to try and force them out of our club.
01 Dec 2025 15:01:36
Love it OOTB mate if we didn't laugh about this mess we'd go insane.

Why drop our second best cb s.Bueno?
25 Nov 2025 15:39:27
Wolves have already said it will take a insane offer for them to even listen, as it stands it's all paper talk.

09 Dec 2025 03:25:32
For the billionth time Nuno will never come back under Fosun, especially whilst Shi is there.
Shi is the main problem.
