Assuming that we have our wishes granted and RE resigns or is payed off, what manager with any sort of pedigree is going to want to come and slug it out in the Championship?
Choices will be few and far between so we could be in a situation where we take a gamble on a foreign coach and we know that has been disastrous in the past.
Any home grown coaches interested and willing, not many I fear, so a difficult season in the Championship beckons where we will struggle unless something changes and we make some smart or lucky decisions.
The close season will be fascinating and will determine our destiny for many seasons to come, so let's hope they get it right.

I now read that bolts, or 'fittings' as described,
were falling from the SB roof, which explains the large area of empty seats in the bottom corner.
Surely that's the omen to Shi Ii. The Club is in pieces, the grounds are going to pieces. When exactly are Fosun going to take action?
When will their words mean anything to us?
This is a disgraceful situation for such a large company to preside over, and if they are not embarrassed by the situation, then they must sell up, and quick.
Do they really think relegation isn't a problem? Do they have any care, or shame for that matter, in their identity?
More importantly, why do they treat
the fans and people of Wolverhampton with such disregard?
From what they promised to us, overseeing our demise is embarrassing and unforgivable.

We all know that ultimately Fosun, mainly Jeff Shi, has run this club into the ground. Lage, Lopetegui, GON and VP have all come out and said that the hierarchy (Jeff) is to blame.
With this in mind, I was prepared to give Edwards a chance, but the fact that the team show no attacking intent is not down to the owners.
It is squarely down to Rob. All the other managers at least put out a team that attempted to score goals, even though their longer term plans were being hampered by Fosun. What is Rob's excuse for the style of play?

Let's be completely honest, it's a shambles from top to bottom. Even just reading the posts above. It's Fosun, it's Edwards, there seems to have been an issue with some metal parts falling from the roof in the SB. The whole structure is completely disjointed. Fosun has got what it wants from us, the 'Wolves brand' for their eSports, which is highly profitable and more predictable than the operation, and constant dipping into their finances involved in running an actual real-life football club. Hate to be negative, but I just don't see any ambition with these owners now, and, with that, how can we attract the right manager, who in turn can attract ambitious players.
There was, or at least seemed to be, a plan under Nuno, but whether they got a 'nose bleed' looking at how much it was going to cost to maintain the momentum and push on from two consecutive 7th placed finishes, who knows. Since then we've slowly but surely slipped down the league and sold off all our best players, and this is the result. A current team of maybe 4-5 PL players, and the rest Championship at best, and yet another manager who seems devoid of ideas.

One big issue with the club.... Fosun.

Are they making big profits with e-sports though?
Anybody know the actual figures?

Just checked this, it is a shade over £10.5 million from 104 tournaments. I think Wolves Esports are ranked 6th in the world. They have received multi million dollar investment, apparently massive in China and growing worldwide. Of course, they have separated this arm of business from the football club, but the esport players happily pose in the Wolves colours trying to look mean.
If that is all Fosun are interested in, would it not be beneficial to Fosun to sell the football, a Wolves FC, to a serious investor who cares and will grow the club. They sort out a licensing deal for the shirt sales in China and then f*** off instead of strangling us to death for the b****** child which is esports.

Thanks Southbank.
Not exactly earning them
a fortune yet, at least.
