Between January 2026 and the close of the summer window I expect Wolves to have sold Andre, Joao, Agbadou, Sa and Arias for a combined £115m.
How much will they spend on what will be a very depleted squad? My guess is nothing as they'll use the remaining players that are currently here.

Rubbish spend nothing if that's the case Wolves will be in the conference league very
soon. Considering they had bids in for 3 other players in this window which were knocked back.

Usual pessimistic views then good

Good - Sadly I think you are spot on however I would go further and suggest that there will be one or two more departures as well.
As Demon says below Mane will almost certainly be gone and I imagine Krejci, Wolfe, Hwang, Tolu and several others will also be on the block!
Re acquisitions I hope you are being pessimistic as I fear the club will be short on bodies if nothing else but I agree the amount spent will be a fraction of the amount brought in.
Frankly it has to be as substantial sums will be needed to pay down Wolves unsustainable debts and transfer income is the only revenue source available to do it.
However as shown with Armstrong for JSL and Gomes A for Arias it is possible to find players who can compete in the Champ, (and frankly many of those leaving wouldn't have been up to the job), for that fraction.
It is not going to be easy and of course it might go badly wrong but it hasn't been too peachy of late anyway!

Good, you can probably add Mane to that list. If his form continues he will be too good for the championship. If on the the other hand he fades, a spell in the championship with us will help his development.

I really don't see the point of Fosun keeping us and why would anyone players with any ambition either want to stay or come and join us now having seen how our owners perform. No interest in improving the stadium and and/or increasing capacity. No interest in getting additional revenue streams or expanding our brand. Can anyone honestly think we'll attract the likes of a Neves, Jota, Moutiniho, Jimenez, Patricio, etc again for the project.
There is no project. IMO it would be far better for Fosun to sell our better players (Which they're going to do anyway) to cut their losses and then sell us. It's a risk with new owners obviously, but there is simply no ambition with these owners as we've seen, despite them saying otherwise.

I see in the short term (this week) we seem to be absolutely determined to get less points than Derby! I understand selling Arias (good price) and Agbadou (who I suspect has pushed hard for the move). However, the fee on Agbadou is typically poor, £1m profit makes it hardly worth doing.
What I also don't get is that both clubs wanted both players from the start of the window, so why didn't we say we would only sanction the business before the deadline so we could reinforce (even had it just been with loans) so as to ensure we didn't leave RE horribly short which it's starting to very much look like it will be the case?! Whereas what we seem to have done (in classic Fosun style) is delayed the business till after the dead line so they can shrug and say 'got to take the money and sadly we can't now reinforce' ?
I understand we have to prep for next season but if we spend the rest of this season getting humped weekly in the league then we are in very real danger of being in free fall before we even arrive in Champ! Not to mention that RE could lose all credibility with the squad if we fail to register another win before the season ends?! Sorry gents but it's same old same old, they say they care about the fans and will have a go till the end of the season but in truth they are just winding the club down year on year!
