No doubt I will get accused on being a Fosun fan for this post as it would seem my opinion differs from some other posts again.
Anyway, as far as I can tell I don’t think the claim that Angel is on 400k a month is true. Now I’m not an internet expert and I simply put in Wolves player salaries. But what I looked at says he’s on 35k a week, roughly 12th highest in the squad. Joao is top earner on 105k a week.
What did surprise me was Toti being second on 80k a week, I can only assume it’s so high because he was signed back when we were paying players a lot more. Signs that in fact whoever is in charge of such things may have learnt a lesson and now we don’t pay so much.
And I guess that’s where some people will think I’m pro Fosun, because I pointed out they may have learnt a lesson. If that’s all it takes then I guess I am.

Goat, the claim that he is on £400k a month is lifted, albeit multiple times, from one particular site, and I think is fairly clearly flawed.
It is reported on some other sites that he is on Euro 400k a month, a fair bit different.
However, on most sites it does, as you suggest, say he is on £35k a week, but with a bonus of some £455k at the end of his contract (5 months!) with Wolves.
Even grossing this up to an annual bonus, you still get nowhere near Euro 400k a month, let alone £400k a month.
Sadly, the internet is far from gospel or even consistent, and I don't think you need to be in any way reticent in pointing this out!
Ps, Toti is indeed a weird one - a player who, frankly, won't be too good for the division he will be playing in next year, and indeed may only be a modest player at that level.
Massively over-paid if he is indeed paid £80k per week!
Pps, however, the current low salaries paid to the squad - which militates against the huge wage bill in the accounts by the way, but that is a different issue I have with Fosun! - are, though, not without cost/consequences.
I'm far from certain that replacing some of the best players in the league - on commensurately high salaries - with the massively sub standard players on low salaries, leading to the club plummeting down and out of the league, is learning a lesson.
It is, however, simply a financial necessity as a result of Jeff's financial policies, which aren't necessarily aligned to the interests of the football team - but that is another issue altogether I have with Fosun!

The article was from Sport Witness, so best to disregard anything from them.
Someone even mocked them once with a Sport Witless X page and website.
