We are definitely going down.
1.) 20 Sep 2025 16:37:40
100% we are! Useless against really poor team
2.) 20 Sep 2025 17:04:41
Totally agree absolutely useless against a promoted side. I have no sympathy for Fuson they have bought it on them self's. You can't keep selling your best players and sign inferior ones year on year. Because if you do this is what happens now Fuson will be rubbishing them self's. Losing millions by getting relegated is not what they wanted but it's come back to bite them big style.

TAXI!

We played with 8 players today.
Everyone else tried their hardest to keep us in the game and competitive but unfortunately, Toti and Agbadou were awful and Bellegarde turned in Hwang for the day.
What I did notice is that the defence actually looked OK when Toti was on the left, Agbadou on the right and Mosquera in the centre. After 25 minutes, as we were winning, for some inexplicable reason, Mosquera and Agbadou swapped and from their, the defence collapsed.
Tchatchoua was itching to use his pace down the wing but no one gave him the ball. Lopez, despite the opening 20 minutes which were good, tailed off as did Rodrigo. Tolu never got any service.
It just isn't good enough.
I think we're doomed because Leeds were not very good but we insist on giving easy goals away and simply ain't good enough to break teams down.
Who is to blame? Well after the info this week, it has to be VP as this is now HIS squad with the players he himself chose.
A truly awful performance.
6.) 20 Sep 2025 20:38:16
VP did not impress or inspire me one bit wandering, and his half time pantomime didn't seem to do a lot for the players. No leader, no common cause. We're going down.
7.) 20 Sep 2025 20:52:40
A poor start certainly, not helped by late signings. However, I still feel that we have enough quality to stay up especially once the team fully gels. There are glimpses of what we can do when we are playing together, just not there yet. All this will be forgotten if we go on another mini good run
8.) 20 Sep 2025 23:28:39
Sa out and agbadou out.theyre garbage.simple as that
9.) 21 Sep 2025 03:11:40
Problem is though Wandering it's just not that simple buddy! Your blaming VP now in the exact same way you blamed GON this time last year and sooner or later you SHOULD be asking the question 'is it the monkey or the organ grinders fault'!
After the game today VP has openly admitted that he doesn't know his best team, which is both not his fault but also ridiculous! He's been given (in terms of starting players) virtually half a team of Prem rookies then been told to go out and make it work (2/4 weeks into the season)!
When we talked/debated last year I pointed out to you that not replacing our most used defender in the team and club capain (Kilman) with a Prem ready replacement was suicide, and you told me it'll be fine. Then as we now know it wasn't fine and we wriggled our way out of it in Jan and 'got away with it'. But here we are again and we've done the EXACT same thing with both Cunha and RAN! Whilst I'm sure Wolfe and Arias have quality they are CLEARLY not Prem ready players. Arias hardly featuring and Wolfe being dropped from the entire team is a frankly damning indictment of thier ability to fill those roles!
I'm no saying VP gets a pass, cause your right it is now 'his' team. But I am saying that as a club we KEEP making the same mistakes over and over again and at some point you HAVE to ask is the manager constantly being set up to fail?! And this isn't a conspiracy theory BTW I don't think it's intentional! But I do think that we've just been run into the ground by an ownership group (Fosun) who care SO little by the comparitve tiny fraction that we represent on their general portfolio that they just don't really care as long as we aren't asking for money/being a problem! So much so that they've left the average work experience lad (Jeff) to take the flak and hold the fort despite him openly admitting that he'd rather play Fifa as Wolves than have to run a footy club! And (bizarrely) none of that's aimed at Jeff, he's just holding the fort and wishing he was back home designing a game rather than worrying about why the fans are shouting at him!
Somethings got to change buddy, cause we can't keep going round in circles as we make our way down the drain! I'm not even saying Fosun out (it's not that simple it can takes years to sell a club). I just want someone (Jeff) to give enough of a sh1t about this club to actually start running it like a Prem club again!
For example, they clearly knew Cunha was leaving when he signed his contract. So why then didn't they go out and sign Arias/Tolu in Jan?! It would have probs cost a little more, but they would have at least been able to get him up to speed to prepare for Cunhas exit. Then he would have been ready when needed and maybe could of made a difference?!
Like I say buddy the same mistake over and over! Something HAS to change! ???
10.) 21 Sep 2025 07:07:53
Well articulated Bully.
Freud called making the same mistake again and again, "the repetition compulsion"
When we feel driven to repeat mistakes from the past in the hopes that this time the situation will work out differently, but it rarely does. To break free, you must identify the pattern.
Fosun take notice!
11.) 21 Sep 2025 11:45:12
Bullysboy, I know ultimately Fosun are to blame but over the last week or 2 both Fosun and VP have backed each other's claims that the incoming players were the ones VP wanted.
The performance yesterday would have been as a result of the tactics that VP wanted to play. If the players ain't good enough (which they ain't) then surely VP must shoulder some of the blame as he himself identified them and asked the club to sign them.
But to be fair, the 2 biggest disappointments from yesterday were Toti and Bellegarde who VP didn't sign. Agbadou was awful once he switched with Mosquera.
12.) 21 Sep 2025 12:28:41
We don’t have one quality player.
Mediocre at best, relegation looms, needs total reset.
On a plus point, my bet keeps winning ( wolves to lose )
13.) 21 Sep 2025 13:06:46
We are down without doubt. No Cunha to salvage points. Players look lost and without fight already. All we can hope for is new ownership come next summer before The Championship.
01 Sep 2025 18:05:45
Rumour I heard a few minutes (most likely BS) is that VP has demanded showdown talks with Shi regarding the failure to sign the required players.
It seems Teti is going to be leaving very soon as his tenure has been a disaster and VP could be following him out of the door very soon.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 18:23:59
Wouldn't be surprised but also can't see VP walking. He's been waiting for a chance in the Premier league for so long, and would he ever get this chance again?
2.) 01 Sep 2025 18:28:05
i would walk if I was him, everyone knows he loves the club . he doesn’t deserve to be miss managed by these negligent skinflints
3.) 01 Sep 2025 18:31:27
We'll soon see how happy VP is wrt this window. Will he sign a new contract?
4.) 01 Sep 2025 18:52:08
Does he 'love' the club though? He's been here 5 minutes in the grand scheme of things. Reality is he came in and did a great job when we were at rock bottom. He rode the wave and took trips to the pub and we loved him for it. Since then he's lost some of his best and most influential players and has seen them replaced with bog-standard footballers (in comparison). The positive feeling he had managed to muster has eroded in the space of a summer. I wouldn't be suprised if he walked whilst his reputation in intact. The club have let another manager down who probably could have done well for us if backed. If I was a neutral manager with no ties to Wolves I would absolutely look elsewhere for work, even if it meant moving down the pyramid into The Championship.
5.) 01 Sep 2025 19:08:02
Wandering mate it wouldn't surprise me if VP walked and who could blame him?
6.) 01 Sep 2025 19:52:46
I would not be surprised, and nor would I blame VP for walking. Fosun have let their reputation slide with their lack of support for managers and promises unfulfilled. With a stated lack of ambition it is difficult to convince players to come. I can't imagine any decent manager coming if VP goes.
7.) 01 Sep 2025 19:53:09
I can believe that he's unhappy but also surely he HAS to also be accountable?! Teti was VPs hire after working with him previously! Seems bizarre for VP to complain that the man he's hand picked (at great expense) has not done the job that VP chose him for?! I think the most frustrating part of all this is that it has played out exactly in the way many on here have been predicting from the day we finished last season! ?
8.) 01 Sep 2025 20:19:06
What's with all the VP will walk rubbish, he signed 5 players over the window, he moved on a few that he clearly didn't want, he may have wanted to move 1 or 2 more on, but unfortunately nobody came in for them, If Fosun had shafted him Larsen would now be playing elsewhere.
I can understand a little bit of the frustration, but some of the stuff posted online is unreal because we didn't sign more players, we have a decent squad to compete as a mid table team, and that will come, time for patience, why all of a sudden have we become a club who want instant gratification with new players all the time.
VP has picked up 8 payers since the January window, all costing a few million, he has been backed fair bit, so to say he hasn't is pure tripe, time for VP to earn his money, first by dropping one or 2 of his favourites who clearly have offered nothing yet this season. If he does walk he is clearly just as pathetic as Lop was.
For me its time to let things settled own and the new players find their feet, and let VP get on with being a manager
9.) 01 Sep 2025 20:29:15
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Teti, VP’s man. Difficult not to agree that we have missed some opportunities this window, especially within the last fortnight, when ‘done deals’ unravelled in front of our eyes.The annoying part is that we failed on numerous occasions to convince the player to join, when agreements had been sorted between clubs. What role did VP play in selling a project to the players.
When you hear from other clubs signings, they invariably say they were convinced by the coach/manager. Interactions I have seen of our recent signings on club videos, barely feature VP. A phone call from a manager shows a player he is wanted. Only those on the inside know whether or not VP adopts that hands on approach.
When you look at some of the missed opportunities from deadline day, that were within our price range, that comparable size clubs have got over the line, you cannot do other than label the window a MASSIVE MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
Harry Wilson, Christantus Uche, Matt O’Reilly, Manor Solomon, Tarim Lamptey, Youssef Chermiti El Khannous Brian Brobbey Tyrique George,
10.) 01 Sep 2025 20:33:46
Where ever, according to Johnny Phillips, the penny dropped for Fosun goodness knows where it landed ant what in because the Summer has been an absolute shambles. Hobbs knew what he was doing when looked at what was happening and left and kept walking. I have no doubt that VP in have Teti brought in to supposedly handle recruitment is all well and good but it doesn't get the cheque book away from Jeff and that in a nutshell is the problem as we've seen before. He knows best but sadly he knows bugger all about football and has consistently made a complete mess of things. After over 60 years supporting our great club I just despair at what that buffoon has done to it.
11.) 01 Sep 2025 20:54:36
Can someone answer me this, for all the players mentioned on who we have missed out on, how many of them would have come to Wolves?
Did Wolves look at them? VP stressed he only want players who want to come! so isn't it fair to say that we agreed condition with one or 2, only for them to go elsewhere, so do they sound like players that wanted to come? the answer is no, they went to the highest bidder . watch the new lads video, he wanted to be here as soon as heard we were interested, and low and behold the transfer happened fairly quickly. obviously lots of stuff goes on behind the scenes, but there is no point panic buying like we have done in the past, as history has proved majority of our panic buys either didn't want to come or failed, which wasted lots of money, Fabio being the biggest one
12.) 01 Sep 2025 21:19:21
Has he been backed though Sydney?! Would you naturally expect a club that finished 16th in the league to finish the window £13m+ up? And that doesn't even account for the fact Sarabia and (club captain) Semedo both went for free!
The one thing I just can't get my head round was letting Doyle and Traore both go without a replacement in place, just seems foolish to me!
13.) 01 Sep 2025 21:59:21
If Andre or Gomes pick up an injury or suspension, the only options we have are Munetsi or Krejci.
We have options in defence with Mosquera, Agbadou, Krejci, Doc, S Bueno and (Toti)
Wing backs in Hoever, Tchatchouma, Rodrigo, Wolfe and Bueno.
Attacking players in Arias, Lopez and Bellegarde.
Up front: JSL and Tolu
We wait and see if this squad can produce the goods.
14.) 01 Sep 2025 22:28:12
Sydney surely by definition the answer is none?
But as I always ask "why"?
Why do you think they wouldn't come to the club?
15.) 01 Sep 2025 22:34:35
Sydneywolf nice to hear some common sense and positivity on here. It's an echo chamber of doom and gloom
16.) 01 Sep 2025 22:53:22
I'm disappointed the TFIOG.
Not so much with the "why" but the more we have wasted 4 months not signing players?
I do think its poor offering small wages and small transfer values to attract certain players;
Pubill
Veiga
Disasi
Hackney
Yuri Alberto
What could have been?
Jeff any answers appreciated.Actually don't both we are all customers.
17.) 02 Sep 2025 07:16:31
Sydneywolf - appreciate your optimism, but there is no way that this squad is capable of finishing mid table. The quality is not there and the situation is not being helped by out of form players. Who do you see creating our chances? We haven't got a single player who looks to break the lines in the final third.
18.) 02 Sep 2025 08:40:18
Future I agree, what is the reason that players don't come? but I would say the ones that did are here, the rest of the nearly
group obviously either wanted more money or Wolves didn't think their price represented a good deal, that would be my thoughts on it.
Bully I think he was backed, yes may letting a couple of midfielders go was not the right move until they had cover, I think Lopez, Cruij are possibly back up to the midfield, is it good enough only time will tell, VP has been backed in my opinion, we just never got one or 2 players over the line, for a multitude of different reasons.
The angst and doom by the fans needs to be put to bed, and fans need to get behind the team an move forward. Its easy to point fingers, but unless we sit at the top table we will never know why or who we actually wanted, we just see and hear the gossip to rise the fear amongst the fans. Lat year we were all but gone come December, look how our season turned around, and the purple patch we had no Cuhna, one or 2 results will breath some confidence into the team, and we will make some headway, the new player bought in will settle and show their worth, we have bought in many players that nobody knew or had the experience everyone seems to bang on about, but they did just fine
19.) 02 Sep 2025 09:05:39
apologies for the typos, I didn't have my glasses when posting
29 Aug 2025 14:13:32
Fabio Silva transfer almost complete. Circumstances meant that he was thrust into action at Wolves way before he was ready.
I hoped he would make it here but the fans were unforgiving. I think he'll be a massive success at Dortmund and those very fans who were calling for him to leave will very suddenly ask questions about why the club allowed him to go.
1.) 29 Aug 2025 15:21:32
Wandering the injury to Jiminez put Silva in a position he should never have been in not his fault. That was the problem of only having 1 striker he going to a club that are renowned for bringing players on good luck to him.
2.) 29 Aug 2025 15:22:45
Why it is/ was best league in the world wandering star, so much pressure these days to hit the ground running especially with the price tag, but he was just too young when rauls injury happened and had to be thrust in with little experience and big expectations. I always felt bad for him because he’s always had so much pressure but hasn’t delivered, however I do think selling him is the correct decision as there are better players for 20 million.
3.) 29 Aug 2025 15:29:30
Agreed. Fabio is a fantastic player, just too early for a prem move for him, will surely succeed in an attack-minded bundesliga. I think a sell-on clause should be inserted given Dortmund's reputation.
4.) 29 Aug 2025 15:53:53
Yeah some won't like what i'm going to say here but the Fabio situation was on Nuno wanting a small squad.
5.) 29 Aug 2025 18:53:55
I remember him jumping to head the ball and being on the way down before it got near him.
That is not acceptable.
6.) 29 Aug 2025 21:18:54
I actually do think he'll be a success at Dortmund (they know their young players) and will likely go on to have a good career. However, I'm just not convinced he would have ever cut it in the Prem. Like Diego Forlan who did well in most leagues but just wasn't up to the pace/power of the Prem, think it'll be the same with Fabio to be honest. What I will give the club credit for is the money they recouped, never thought we'd get that much back on him ?
28 Aug 2025 20:43:13
Tolu Arokodares negotiations concluded.
Contract agreed.
Medical booked for Friday.

Great news Wandering

snap!
3.) 29 Aug 2025 00:09:26
Excellent news!
27 Aug 2025 10:36:13
Wolves have offered to increase JSL wages from £15k per week to £80k per week, however Newcastle are set to offer him £150k per week.
Looks like money talks.
1.) 27 Aug 2025 11:51:38
Sorry Wandering buddy but money talks is not an acceptable excuse if we let him go! The inks not even dry on the contract he's signed so the club should have just given a flat 'not this window' from the off! He's literally just signed a four year deal so he wouldn't have kicked up a fuss if we simply hadn't entertained it from the off! Will be interesting to see how this plays out but as I've said before, I worry about what it says to others regarding our team if we can't even keep our best players for just one transfer window now?! ?
2.) 27 Aug 2025 12:23:32
I think that is the clubs stance Bullysboy but it seems Larsen now knows more money is on offer elsewhere so his head has been turned. I mean if someone offered me 10 times my current wage, I'd be off. Not an ideal situation but sadly, this is the way of the world not.
Look at Uche. He'd agreed a salary with the club but Palace are offering more so he's changed his mind.
3.) 27 Aug 2025 12:30:59
Agreed BullysBoy II, the clubs stance should have been 'absolutely categorically NO! Maybe a necessary evil but we've already lost 2 superstars, we're going to build a team around the superstars that are left, Gomes, Andre, JSL'
4.) 27 Aug 2025 12:39:05
It's different scenarios though, Uche has the luxury of choice and is exercising it (I suspect London helps). The luxury of choice with JSL was firmly within our gift and it's not one that we should be giving away lightly! No one can offer him any contract unless we agree a fee, the club should have just said 'not for sale this window'from the off and stuck to that. We've intentionally left the door open from the off so no point blaming the player for that now, his heads been turned because we've wanted it to be turned!
5.) 27 Aug 2025 13:03:13
We would appear by our stance on Newcastle's bids for JSL to be encouraging them to come back with larger bids. That is not the way to keep a player not does it indicate to the player that he is going nowhere! Clearly our senior management have no idea how to handle this situation other than to say we want the money even though it's the most absurd time to even consider selling your only productive striker!
I quite simply give up I'm sick of these idiots running our football club. Sooner they are gone the better though no doubt we will suffer either way.
6.) 27 Aug 2025 13:21:10
It's starting to become pretty clear to me that Fosun are running what can only be described as some sort of takent introduction agency to the Premier League. Seemingly every player with potential who signs for us and performs is likely to move on quickly now. Frustrating and disappointing.
7.) 27 Aug 2025 13:35:25
V worrying thread.
It seems that it is perfectly acceptable to both sell players and fail to sign players?
Won't that leave the team a bit short?
The argument that the team simply can't compete financially in the transfer market surely begs the question why?
How many teams in the Prem do people think Wolves can compete with?
Is it more than 3?
I saw a thread the other day when it was stated that the team was the one that the manger (s) wanted and had nothing to do with Jeff or by implication finances (it was actually stated that none of the players who leave do so for financial reasons!)
Well I strongly suspect that Vitor, (and all the managers since Nuno), would have loved to have RAN, Neves, Neto, Cunha etc etc in their sides.
Also although some of the players may well have been very happy to leave and indeed of late players might well be agitating to leave what is now obviously no longer a club with aspirations to compete in the upper middle echelons of the Prem all of the players that have been sold have been sold for one reason only, to cover the operating losses the club makes in order to comply with regulations.
8.) 27 Aug 2025 13:53:34
Is that right? Surely even our badly run club are paying JSL more than £15k a week?

Bruno Lage was never backed.
Lopetegui told the world that he was being hindered in the transfer market.
Gary O'Neil kept said he didn't get the players he needed to take the club forward.
What makes me angrier at VP is that he has come out and publicly said that Fosun have fully backed him in the transfer market where as the previous 3 all showed their frustrations whilst in post. For this fact alone, I think VP has to go as he claims that he has 100% autonomy of incoming players therefore it is entirely at his door that the buck stops.
1.) 18 Oct 2025 19:49:40
We spent nearly 100+ million fosun ain't the problem its the management shi and vp
2.) 18 Oct 2025 19:59:54
It's Shi and Fosun that need to go as they are the authors of our situation not some Coach who is just glad to be here so will tow the party line.
They set the transfer policies and budgets, he has to work within the consequences of those parameters. It didn't work for his predecessors and it won't work for him or the next Coach if he does get the chop.
3.) 18 Oct 2025 20:37:09
Everyone's to blame. Fosun for desimating the club and VP for identifying and approving mediocre players.
4.) 18 Oct 2025 20:51:33
Exactly!
5.) 18 Oct 2025 21:43:55
The difference is LongmyndWolf is that Lage, Lopetegui and GON all said that they were not backed but VP says the exact opposite. So if he has been backed, the blame is on him too for identifying players that ain't good enough to play in a system that he's implemented. At least undet GON we were scoring. Under VP we don't look capable and our defence is a catastrophe.
6.) 18 Oct 2025 23:06:14
All of which is true Wandering but as I said he doesn't set the budgets and potential recruits will be initially identified by the recruitment department and he will ok the ones he wants from those who want to come and the Club can afford.
He can't just go out and buy up the best available or necessarily his first choice.
7.) 19 Oct 2025 00:04:12
Hang on Wandering make ya mind up mate, are they mediocre players or are they good enough to get mid table (as you said earlier) cause ya can't have it both ways?! And if they are good enough for a mid table finish then by what metric are you basing that on exactly? Cause so far outside of Krejci I've yet to see a single 90 minute performance that suggests they are up to the task at hand. Now that isn't to say they won't be one day, but there in lies the problem. We've bought half a team of players and only one of them looks Prem ready! You just don't get away with that at this level and the proof of this is sadly being seen in the points pudding! As for them being VPs players, well he might have agreed to them but how many of them were his first choice?! From what I can see ONLY Fer Lopez and Krejci were actually first choice, the rest were 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the list and again there in lies the problem! Like Judah said we let 15 years worth of Prem experience leave and replaced them with a group of players who had not a single min of Prem experience between them, frankly that is criminal!
We keep doing the same thing over and over again, selling the manager short and then blaming the manager! Sooner or later we have to stop questioning the monkey and start asking what excalty is the organ grinder doing?! VP hasn't become a bad manager over night, neither did GON or Lage. All three of them were given pigs ear (average signings made FAR to late, with no Prem experience) and then blamed for the quality of the shody purse they have created! VP towed the company line (I'm happy with the business) because he wanted a new contract and it worked. But who REALLY loses in that? Cause if we sack him tomoz he makes a fortune and we are still up the creak without a paddle! Run into the ground by an ownership group that doesn't care and a chairman that just wants to play FIFA! I'm sick of it and I'm sick of people just making out like this is a manager/tactical problem. It's far bigger than that and it's also precisely why we are bottom of the league and doomed to relegation! ?
8.) 19 Oct 2025 09:37:17
Bullysboy. To me, they are players that are good enough to stay in the league quite easily given the correct tactics. But under VPs management, they look mediocre and useless.
The metric I use is quite simple. Yesterday we had 8 full International players starting the game. These players represent the likes of Portugal, Brazil and Uruguay who are considered as some of the favourites for the next World Cup.
Its the old Real Madrid Galacticios issue when you have the individual players but the coach can't get them to gel and work together.
So we have decent players, but not a manager who can make it work.
9.) 19 Oct 2025 10:34:57
LongmyndWolf, Simon Jordan said earlier this week when talking about potential changes to PSR rules that other than Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, no club can just go out and buy who they want. The club need to cut their clothes accordingly and if they know they've only got a certain standard of player to work with, then they must get a manager who can achieve something with what's available. He pointed out that that's what Glasner and Iraola do. Spend little money at first but are great coaches and highly sought after. VP is not this type of person. VP is a short term guy. Bring him in for an immediate effect and then move on. Why? Because he hasn't got the nous to plan for the long term, hence his nomadic managerial career.
18 Oct 2025 17:49:40
A list of managers I'd rather have than VP:
Edin Terzic, Erik Ten Haag, Ange Postecoglu, Big Sam, Gary O'Neil, Sean Dyche.

18 Oct 2025 17:38:08
This is the list of players who had a decent game today.
Yep. Its blank because each and every one of them was absolutely sh*t.
This is the worst team I've ever seen. No passion, no cohesion, no intent, no idea. All being led by VP who has now spent close to £200m and made us a worse team than last year.

He needs to go NOW.forest have done it.but we wont! his subs are ridiculous.his starting11 is rubbish the players are rubbish.never any urgency to get fwd.hes clueless and is taking us down for definite.after we don't bt burnley nxt wk.he must surely go.i think its been said on here before give coady the job.

Can someone explain to me why we persist JSL who quite clearly is no where near fit and bring tolu on for the last 12 minutes. Poor goalkeeping error and a sad own goal cost us a point, which we probably deserved after the second half. Their seems mo enthusiasm throughout the side, and it's the age old problem of backwards and side to side. Feel VP must go now, but goodness knows who we would replace him with

Get dyche in asap

Just got back in saw the score and then came on here to read peoples opinions of the game and frankly wished I hadn't. There's got to be radical change at this club starting with Shi, Teti and sorry to say VP as this lot are taking us down. Is it the players they've bought, is it the team selection, is it the tactics or is it 5 years of progressive decline that the owners have orchestrated, probably all of the above?
It is an absolute disgrace what they have been doing and this has been both blindingly obvious for years and therefore inevitable. How many now genuinely believe without major change we will stay up beyond this season because this is now the sh*t show that some of us have been predicting for some time.
Fosun need to act NOW as Xmas is way too late but will they? Personally, I now believe Shi has to go, he's clueless as evidenced by his decision making, both he and the equally clueless Fosun are killing this club, why? You cannot run an elite league football club in this way with the owners contributing nothing so spare us the meaningless, meandering interviews Jeff, just do one and take Fosun with you.

I thought we would win today really up for it, sadly I was wrong when we got Victor in I thought he’s been at a lot of clubs but he’s at Wolves now so I’ll back him. His tactics and subs baffle me, he and Fosun need to go, I will always back the team
6.) 18 Oct 2025 20:14:57
Ain't going to be nice next home game if this is the performance level next weeks training is going to produce. Where are the goals going to come from? Tactically inept so its either the manager or players cannot perform at this level. This is absolutely relegation form; no imagination, few shots, passing across the park and backwards plus mistakes. Starting to lose some enthusiasm and belief that this set up and players can turn things around.

I’ve been a wolves fan since 1957/8 and I can honestly say with exception the mid 80s under sammy chapman this is the poorest side we have had we don’t look like scoring I went to pre season Celtic v kne we were in trouble it is no good saying team needs time to fell in prem you don’t get time this is all down to owners ????any one not agreeing are living in cloud cuckoo land coyw????
18 Oct 2025 15:43:06
I'm just going to say it as it is. One today's performance and the season so far, we are 100% down. No fight, no idea. We look like rabbits in the headlights. Hopefully the team get a rollicking at HT and show some passion in the 2nd half.
1.) 18 Oct 2025 15:57:57
Boring to watch again, just showed highlights we have 1 from a free kick, Sunderland have 6. Big improvement required 2nd half, just can’t see it unfortunately, hope I am wrong.
2.) 18 Oct 2025 16:34:22
I agree WS but then I was saying that back in August.
I take it you’re not predicting comfortable mid table anymore then?
3.) 18 Oct 2025 16:38:02
The thing is Sunderland haven't been very good and we still can't perform. Absolutely dire. The quicker VP is gone, the better. If we lose, he needs to go TONIGHT.
4.) 18 Oct 2025 16:38:43
Have to agree Wandering, you've hit the nail on the head it's the complete lack of ideas that worries me. We look incapable of breaking teams down. Poor qullaity team, poor quality management and poor quality ownership, that's only going to end one way I'm afraid! We simply do not have the requisite quality to compete at this level. Also worth noting how absurdly ridiculous it is ALREADY looking giving VP the extension we did when we hadn't even won a game!
As I've said before the ONLY thing more frustrating than our current points tally is how ENTIRELY predictable all this was! How have we let it get this bad?! Beyond angry right now! ?
5.) 18 Oct 2025 16:47:42
At least when Derby and Sunderland, who are the lowest points scorers in Premier League history went down, they ar least tried to attack. This clown has set us up to do absolutely nothing in the attacking 3rd.
6.) 18 Oct 2025 16:51:04
Been watching whole match we're playing like a league 2 team, I wonder if vp has lost the dressing room tbh.
7.) 18 Oct 2025 16:56:26
So the icing on the cake. From OUR corner, Hugo Bueno swings in a ball that sails over every single Wolves player and allow Sunderland to break at speed and score via an embarrassing OG by Krejci.
We are well and truly f*cked.
8.) 18 Oct 2025 17:22:00
3GWolf, with the squad we've got, we should finish comfortably in mid table. The problem is that we've got a clown managing them.
9.) 18 Oct 2025 17:35:00
Sorry Wandering buddy but that's deluded! Yes VP should be doing better but the ONLY league this team has the quality to finish mid table on is the Championship! We simply do not have enough Prem ready/quality players!
10.) 18 Oct 2025 18:17:36
On current form you are correct Bullysboy but on paper, we have 16 full International players who represent the likes of Brazil, Uruguay and Portugal.
The reason we are so poor us down the the managers tactics.
It was the same last season when we looked doomed under GON but a change of leadership steered us clear of trouble. that's what's needed now too.
05 Oct 2025 22:40:45
If VP is sacked, no doubt Jeff Shi will go all out for Sean Dyche. We are a laughing stock.
1.) 06 Oct 2025 07:45:26
With Shi now having direct control of Football, it is surely another step towards relegation.
The way the players stood around looking lost after the game is deeply concerning.
I am afraid Wandering, without a Sean Dyche type manager, we will be back in to the wilderness.
Seems Fosun are happy for season after season for us to struggle.
So hard to take after the first few years of their ownership.
2.) 06 Oct 2025 10:38:12
Make no mistake the team looked like individuals trying to fit into a system that none them knew when we started. Johnstone kept us in it.
The subs, all questionable bar Hugo for Wolfe if Hugo was suffering.
Larsen you could say was precautionary if it had been tolu who had come for him, larsen didn't want to come off, he'd held the ball up which ultimately led to the chance Arias squandered, and he'd made the lone run resulting in him hitting the post.
Agbadu brought some confusion (and brighton throws).
Bellegarde?.
It seems as if VP and crew are here to ensure relegation at times.
All that said I agree with deep throat in that 2 points from spurs away and what can be an excellent
brighton should be welcomed but what a shame the management shoot us in the feet in both games and lose us what could have been 6.
It's easy watching from the stand or in my case TV but what on earth was the reasoning in the dugout.

Please give it a rest, or at least do some research. Please enlighten us about this 'good footballer' claim as he played the vast majority of his 152 game career in the 2nd and 3rd divisions of the Portugese League.
16 Oct 2025 16:35:57
The only people who could help you are: Someone at the club, Jose Sa, Jose Sa's family or Jose Sa's agent.

Bullysboy, I know ultimately Fosun are to blame but over the last week or 2 both Fosun and VP have backed each other's claims that the incoming players were the ones VP wanted.
The performance yesterday would have been as a result of the tactics that VP wanted to play. If the players ain't good enough (which they ain't) then surely VP must shoulder some of the blame as he himself identified them and asked the club to sign them.
But to be fair, the 2 biggest disappointments from yesterday were Toti and Bellegarde who VP didn't sign. Agbadou was awful once he switched with Mosquera.
20 Sep 2025 18:05:28
We played with 8 players today.
Everyone else tried their hardest to keep us in the game and competitive but unfortunately, Toti and Agbadou were awful and Bellegarde turned in Hwang for the day.
What I did notice is that the defence actually looked OK when Toti was on the left, Agbadou on the right and Mosquera in the centre. After 25 minutes, as we were winning, for some inexplicable reason, Mosquera and Agbadou swapped and from their, the defence collapsed.
Tchatchoua was itching to use his pace down the wing but no one gave him the ball. Lopez, despite the opening 20 minutes which were good, tailed off as did Rodrigo. Tolu never got any service.
It just isn't good enough.
I think we're doomed because Leeds were not very good but we insist on giving easy goals away and simply ain't good enough to break teams down.
Who is to blame? Well after the info this week, it has to be VP as this is now HIS squad with the players he himself chose.
A truly awful performance.
19 Sep 2025 06:01:12
Are you suggesting Wolves try to re-sign him?
Should we offer him as close to his current wage as possible £275k per week or not?

Burnley know they will be amongst the relegation fight. They will come to Molineux and set up to play defensive football and hit us on the break. They've done this on the last few occasions and will do the same again. We won't be able to break them down.
22 Oct 2025 18:49:42
VP will get our full support as did GON. But the facts are that the football philosophy under him is truly atrocious. If you want to back him, then fair play. I on the other hand want to see the team at least try and score.
22 Oct 2025 12:30:24
Ange, Poch, Xavi, Spaletti, Mancini and Glasner will be beyond Shi's financial reach. Of the rest, the only ones I would consider is Ten Haag.
Edin Terzic is the one I would go for. Young, plays attacking football and has managed in a top league.
21 Oct 2025 20:46:30
It will be BullysBoy. This confirms exactly how much of a laughing stock Jeff has turned the club into.
21 Oct 2025 18:43:59
Yes, his record at Spurs last season was poor in the league but the season before, he did well until injuries decimated the squad. I can't judge him on his Forest spell because 39 days isn't enough time to implement his ideas.
He is not the man for Wolves but he would be better than VP as Ange actually set his teams up on the front foot.
