Congratulations Coventry on winning promotion to the Premier League.
Just goes to show what a club with owners who actually care can achieve.
Fosun, take note.

I'll second that, Goodwhile, coming up from Oxford we always used to go to Cov when the Wolves were away.
It just goes to show, not long ago they were playing 'home' games in Northampton, but with football club first leadership and a decent manager, they've romped back. Well done to them.

What a comeback success story at Coventry. To think, it seemed to be a natural move for Robbie Keane to leave Wolves for Coventry! Fast forward a few years, and they were without even a stadium to play in. Congratulations.
Yes, committed owners with local knowledge are vital.
There is no way that Fosun can make a difference at Wolves, with the present chain of command from far, far away. Unless Fosun are willing to sell us at a tax loss, they need to appoint autonomous local management, with a top-notch CEO. Maybe a leadership role for the likes of Robbie Keane?

Totally different subject, could anyone remember the name of the doorman at the Feathers pub? I had some good times before and after the game there.

Dunno, Les, and I dunno if we're talking the same chap here, but I used to go in the Feathers before every game, (sitting in the SB), but on one occasion we were playing Watford and I had a yellow rugby top with the old Town crest on underneath my black jacket.
The doorman stopped me, most probably hearing my Oxonian accent, until I showed him my Wolverhampton crest, whereupon he leant forwards, kissed the badge, and let me in.
He was a pleasant chap, and whether he recognised me afterwards or not, I don't know, but he always acknowledged me on arrival.
You asking his name sparked a memory, mate, happy days!

Happy days indeed, Abbey. Days I'll never forget.
