I think most of us could see how this season would end given our downward spiral over the last few years and we all know why.
However, hands up those who expected Spurs to be increasingly likely to join us? Cue media meltdown if it happens.

The table does seem to confirm that the teams that are run by egotistical people tend to suffer. Us, Spurs, West Ham and Forest all being near the lower reaches of the table proves this.

I did watch some of the Spurs' game; for them to be in danger of relegation is ridiculous. They do like to dive and cheat, though. I think most teams do these days.

At the start of the season, I would never have believed that Spurs might go down. Good's point above, that clubs run by egotistical people tend to suffer, equally applies to countries! This seems to be the year that chickens come home to roost.

A supposed Big Six club in recent years has always been a bad season away. You only have to look at the middle of the league to see how competitive the middle of the league has become.
I thought we'd finish 14th this season with a couple of experienced last-minute additions in August.
Once that didn't happen, we were in trouble. Then, losing to the 3 promoted teams early on, those 9 points lost put the nails in the coffin.

With the record of Rob Edwards in the Premier League, can anyone out there believe that if he was at any other club he would still be in a job? I can't believe he's still there. Unbelievable.

Edwards should not have been appointed. However, a lot of the signings from the previous two windows weren't good enough, and he isn't responsible for that. Also, keep in mind, supposedly the club tried to get GoN first, and there weren't many other takers.
If it's true, Robbie Keane and Allardyce were interested, they would have been better options, albeit for different reasons. Even if Big Sam was a short-term thing until the summer.
Right now, we have a manager who wants to be here, but shouldn't be, who is supposed to be long-term. Getting rid before the summer raises even more questions about the running of the club.
The failures are all down to one thing: recruitment, top to bottom. Too many square pegs in round holes, and people with little to no football experience in the key roles, including the manager.

The appointment of Edwards, who has no track record, underlines Fosun's lack of ambition. Once they had the Brand, and realized what it would cost to compete, they cooled on football. Why would they sack Edwards? He fits the requirement. I wish him well, of course, but managing Wolves with Fosun as owners is a poison chalice.

Why would they sack him? Well, if it continues the way it is, at less than a point a game, we will soon be Conference League. Do you want that?

I partially agree, Wimborne, but I think this is the result of a few things collectively. The PSR rules are a problem whether we like it or not. The club has to operate in them.
However, revenue hasn't grown, the ground investment hasn't been there, and the recruitment has been a shambles. If you don't have the income, you can't attract the best players and pay the wages, and you can't easily correct expensive mistakes from the transfer market. There have been a lot of those.
If you then back that up with no proper sporting director, no commercial directors, poor management of the first team and academies, and you find most signings from January 2025 to September 2025 were shown the door in the last window, you can see the problems.
Any pull Fosun want from Wolves is not as strong in The Championship, and the club is worth a fraction of what it was even 12 months ago. It makes it all quite baffling, as there seems to be no gain at the moment for any party.

B Hill wolf, my comment was not about what I want. I want him to succeed, but it is obvious from the stats that he is not a successful Prem manager. His appointment underlined Fosun's lack of Prem ambition. He has, however, shown ability in the Championship, which I believe could be behind Fosun's thinking.
However, I question Fosun's ambition, and suggest that RE will not get the cash he may wish for to rebuild successfully. The poison chalice.
