So a famous old club goes into administration. It's problems involve a lack of football background with its owner, a stadium allowed to deteriorate, and a policy of selling its best players. Do those issues ring any bells?

No idea who you might be referring to Wimborne, what a shocking way to run a football club. Watching Sheffield fans interviews they were mainly just glad to see the back of their owner under any circumstances.

After that it is difficult to see any silver lining. The January get out of jail card looks a very long shot. PL status looks all but over, a very long hard winter beckons. I cannot see any quick return either with appalling management still in situ. Rated is correct we need to clear the decks and try to start again with a more honest owner. Sadly this will take some while.

Maybe I was over hopeful, but given the lead time on Cunha and likelihood of the departure of Ait Nouri, I would have expected the position on incomers to replace them to be well advanced, but no news yet. Could the changes re Hobbs have come about for reasons of disagreement at that level, or above? I really am banking on a sensible window to preserve and build on what we have. Anything less will be like nails in the proverbial. I really hope we can avoid a last minute scramble and panic purchases.

Think we should spare a thought for Liverpool fans after the horrendous news.
1.) 27 May 2025 16:20:30
Agree totally Wimborne mate.
2.) 27 May 2025 20:33:31
Naturally offer my sincere thoughts towards Liverpool fans, and Liverpool folk alike Wimborne, seems nobody is safe in this country anymore. Why/how do these idiots think they're going to achieve anything by doing this?
3.) 27 May 2025 20:34:02
Looked horrendous. I know a few people who went who were stranded in Liverpool overnight.

After the good run, a fizzled out end to the season. Still, better than it might have been, thanks to VP. Crunch time now with the transfer window, could be a roller coaster.
1.) 25 May 2025 19:42:46
Yes. VP will have learnt a lot from these last 4 games. TBH those who we think might go apart from Cuhna aren't good enough. Guedes missing a golden opportunity again. Anyway we're still a PL club and with a decent transfer window I'm optimistic that we'll be a better team next season.
2.) 25 May 2025 21:57:31
So we've reached the end of yet another chaotic season with only the avoidance of relegation to celebrate. Finishing the season with 3 losses and a draw, so pretty underwhelming after such an encouraging run of wins leaving us in 16th place. Not unsurprising given what's gone on but what's next, owners loosening the screws a bit, finally deciding that they can't afford to do this and selling or just more of the same?
I'm not sure if it's through luck or judgement but we now have a Head Coach who is not only happy to be here, but also seems content to navigate the current transfer policies inflicted on the club, for now at least, all that whilst attempting to help improve the squad and it's performances. He strikes me as a realist and won't expect stupid amounts of money to be made available.
I get it that Fosun have been going through a restructure and probably got fed up of watching their hard earned disappear faster than a Villa fan leaving the ground after a Wolves game but have they really reconciled themselves to being owners of a bottom half club or will things slowly change as this Coach proves his worth and Fosun's Group restructuring improves theirs?
Pereira will build something, slowly but surely, and seems to not only be a very capable football Coach but one who can cope with the hand he's dealt, unlike some of his predecessors. We should be grateful for that at least and I for one am looking forward to seeing what next years squad will look like and what he can achieve with a full pre-season to get them fully primed and organised.
So will the likes of RAN, the Gomes's, Andre and the like, all be sold on at some point in the future or will VP be allowed to build and retain a strong squad? We all know it's the club that buys the players not the owners but income development and some financial injections are allowed within PSR which may just be the difference. If that's not forthcoming then more of the clubs decisions that appear to defy logic, are inevitable.
So for me, happy that we finally have a seemingly capable Head Coach and feel more positive that he will do better than his recent predecessors but annoyed with Fosun for keeping sleeping beauty, asleep. Will they give us an awakening kiss and revisit old ambitions, or not? They need to think this through very carefully now, as already others are eyeing VP with envious eyes ready to offer juicy contracts, I'm sure.

I share your nervousness Long.
4.) 26 May 2025 11:18:06
I said this when we secured PL status. He's worked himself into a great position and well done VP. If this is the guy Fosun want then they need to support him, or he walks it's that simple. At least we'll know Fosun's true objectives for this club.
5.) 26 May 2025 11:37:48
Long unless vitor is backed decisively and quickly he won't be around to build anything.
6.) 27 May 2025 09:06:44
Good post Longmynd. Absolutely correct in summary. This is a vital window that I believe will define the club for the next three years. Add to that my belief that Fosun wish to sell, and it becomes more so. A thriving club with a good team will fetch more. But as you suggest anything less than acceptable support for VP will see him go and I don't think this club will survive another relegation battle with strong clubs coming up.
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.
15 May 2025 14:56:58
Good post Madman, lots of interesting variables and possibilities within a plan. No doubt VP has similar thoughts along those lines to keep to his style. I think it would be daft to unload RAN, just because the is not the full deal. He makes many contributions to attacking moves and assists. We do not have the luxury of being in the market for perfect oven ready players, and cannot keep unloading good players in the vague hope of getting a better one. Building on what we have would be a welcome change.
05 Dec 2024 18:25:25
I agree Bullys. I cannot think that a quality mamager would contemplate taking on this basket case. Maybe a has been who would look at some short term role, ie to season end, for quick dosh. Surely anyone with a CV would want written into a contract firm commitments from Fosun that they are unlikely to sign up to.
24 Aug 2024 11:08:58
Well said Rugeley?
20 Aug 2023 11:56:22
If it is a sale the timing seems strange. Fosun is a global investment company and would have been more likely to sell when Wolves were a more attractive prospect. At present they are a club hindered by FFP, which will be the same for a new owner, and a possible scenario of championship football on the horizon. It is possible Fosun are under pressure to raise cash, but what they would get for Wolves is small beer.
11 Oct 2025 17:52:16
The footie season falls into a familiar rhythm with Fosun at the helm. I believe I mentioned their business plan a few years ago, to buy young and cheap and sell on for maximum profit. As an investment company this is their raison d'etre, to make profit and/or sell with enhanced value. They have discovered how difficult this is to do in the Premiership without a global presence and a huge stadium. They made some effort to enhancing Wolves profile globally, spoke of a new stadium, then COVID hit, and as a group Fosun, who were highly geared, were caught with their pants down. Since then the group has sold assets to reduce debt and focus on the profitable cash producing parts of their empire. Wolves value has improved since their purchase but the plan to create a club that figures highly on the World stage and to create huge value is long gone. It offers the group none of the high profile they envisaged. They fail to understand the connection with fans, they understand only what makes money. I have previously referred to the statement they made in the 2022 accounts.that their intent was to dispose of assets that do not produce cash. Hence their lazy approach to the summer window, knowing they have the capacity to spend in January to save Prem status. This is a view that lacks understanding of Prem football. I believe their intent is still to sell, their problem is who is going to be the buyer?
05 Oct 2025 18:02:19
Why change to a back 5.no desire to go out and get another goal. Hwang off and Tolo or/and Rodrigo on we could have forced them back. With 20 mins to go we seem to be content to play in our half with the inevitable result
06 Sep 2025 17:39:52
Excellent review Ed, many thanks for some great work and insights.
25 Aug 2025 10:25:58
Longmynd.your talents know no limits. First a poet now a philosopher. I was with Bilstonlad for a moment. Back to reality.?

For me Future the first time I saw Wolves. I had been a fan since I first followed football, about 7 years old, 69 years ago. Living in East Kent there was the local team but nothing else. A friend at school was also a Wolves fan and we talked all the time about Wolves and followed the results. We had no idea where Wolverhampton was, but in those days going 10 miles from Thanet was a major event. In Summer we both worked at a bakery to earn some dosh, and he passed his driving test. Wolves first game back in the top flight was at Fulham, we decided to go in his ancient Fiat 500 his dad got for him. Driving in London was terrifying but we made it and watched Waggy destroy Fulham's defence. We loved it as Wolves won, standing with a lot of great people with strange accents. Happily I have been able to see Wolves over many more occasions despite living on the south coast, and tickets being very hard to come by.
