Our 'Chinese takeaway' type of ownership (pun intended) just hasn't worked. What does Fosun know about English football, let alone Wolverhampton? If Fosun really and truly can't or won't sell us, then put in place independent expert management with strong connections to Wolves and Wolverhampton, and back them.
Give them the power to hire and fire at all levels, including head coach level, in other words absolute authority. Maybe someone like Robbie Keane could be chairman or CEO, replacing the Shi's of this world. Then maybe we could compete with the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton for starters.

Y would Robbie Keane want a CEO job tho? He's a manager at present, and not even as experienced as RE was when we got him. I think we should go for a more experienced manager with knowledge of the English game. I ain't got a clue who, though.

Roy Hodgson?

A CEO with a sport background, but primarily business qualified, and an experienced football director who can build a team to scout and attract hidden quality are the two critical management positions that have been an issue since Kevin Thelwell and Laurie Dalrymple left.

Daniel Levy, Peter Kenyon and Christian Purslow all spring to mind. Let them run the club, but have a football man overseeing the playing side, maybe try and entice someone like Dougie Freedman back into English football.

As much as it pains me to say it, Nathan Shi has to be given a chance to make the right changes at Wolves.
A lot of Wolves' troubles stem from Jeff Shi. Fosun basically gave him absolute power at Wolves, and he was running the club into oblivion. Had Jeff stayed as Wolves' CEO, there is no doubt that the club would have ended up in League One. Look at the mess he has left behind.
Fosun is based on the other side of the world, and Wolves is a small part of their business, so was given way too much power. Being polite, the guy knows f*** all about running a successful football club.
Nathan Shi wants to make things right at Wolves, and Fosun seemingly has no intention of selling the club. The Wolves fans, through gritted teeth, will have to be patient.

I think, as most others will agree, we've been patient enough!
Fosun's idea of 'investment' is use the club to make money for our investors.
Good news for Nathan is that we are not a 'successful football club'.

You're talking about Wolves under Jeff Shi. Fosun and Nathan Shi have to be given a chance to make things right. If they don't, then the Molineux will have 16,000 fans at every home game and the club shop will be turning over £97.00 a week.
I don't want Fosun at Wolves, but I also don't want muppets similar to those running Chelsea.

Nathan Shi was at the club before the end of the last window. The same window where we intentionally waited till after it shut to sell Agbadou so that the club couldn't replace him. Yet again, this move sold the manager completely down the river! Sorry, but Shi 2, much like Shi 1, will simply be a fall guy for Fosun's continued complete lack of care and ambition when it comes to our club! Until that changes, the role in question is just a mouth piece for a want away ownership group.

I for one want to hear what Shi/Jackson & Re have to say at the fans forum on WM this Tuesday. I believe telling questions will be asked of the 3.
Until then, you can speculate all you like, but we may at least be clearer on the way forward to next season.
Oh, and to the fan who said hire Daniel Levy (really??) he still has a part ownership of Spurs, so thank God, he can't come near a second UK club.
