So what I gathered from tonight is:
1: Jeff Shi has no input at the club anymore.
2: Molineux expansion/improvements are being looked at.
3: Edwards has a list of 6 players he wants to retain and build the squad around and prefers an attacking formation but has been hampered by the poor quality within the current squad.
4: Targets have already been identified and are being pursued ready to be concluded sooner rather than later.
5: Nathan has admitted that the club has floundering and was a mess when he took over but Fosun remain committed and will provide the funds to turn the mess around.
All in all, it seemed positive but let's wait and see.

I've often believed Jeff Shi was more senior/connected with Fosun than many realise. The fact that he could make such a mess of Wolves, yet come out of it effectively with a promotion seems to confirm that.
Presumably his reward was the Esports set up, but at what cost? At least £100M, as things stand.

Good, any questions about whether Shi will stick with RE?
Any good, hard questions? Keep selling? New money?
Did Shi dodge, or answer straight?

The plan is to stick with Edwards. Edwards only wants players who are committed to the club, and apparently deals with incoming players are close and have been in place for a while.
Edwards has a list of 6 players who he wants at the club. He didn't say who they were, but he said anyone else can go.
Shi said that the Directors have already decided that investment into both the squad and ground needs to happen, but again, no figures were given, as this would give other clubs an advantage.
Edwards was asked about the playing style, and accepted that it was unacceptable, but, given the summer, things will change.

Got to be honest, what else were they going to say? Actions are louder than... etc. I'll wait until I see something positive happening before I feel any reassurances.

Exactly. I think this was just lip service. We'll see how soon things change.
