Wolves Banter 2

24 Apr 2026 16:45:11
Will any fans renewing knowing they’re going to be watching a below average Championship team spare a few moments and share any reason for essentially backing Fosun in their destruction of our Football Club, they won’t be giving us anything and they don’t need our money, what’s in it for us ?

25 Apr 2026 19:39:37
Thought as much, anyone renewing can't explain why !!

24 Apr 2026 09:31:53
I am hoping we can beat Spurs this week, one less London club in the Prem can not be a bad thing.

24 Apr 2026 11:01:08
Always a tough game against Tottenham, and they have a new manager, Roberto Di Spursy.

24 Apr 2026 11:01:29
I don't want Nuno to be relegated, but we are in worse form than Spurs. I have a hunch it will be Hammers going down. Mind you, if that happened, I think Nuno would be sacked.

West Ham owners are so mercurial. In such case, I hope that Fosun would grovel and beg Nuno to come back. There could still be a coaching role for Rob, maybe in the academy.

24 Apr 2026 11:29:29
On paper, this should be a home win as, over the last 10 games, we've taken 9 points compared to Spurs' 3.

But, we all know that when a team is struggling, Wolves are the team to play to break your hoodoo.

24 Apr 2026 11:37:12
I hate to be negative, but I want Wolves to get stuffed. I want Nathan Shi to get rid of Rob Edwards. Rob is not good enough to take Wolves forward. He's woefully out of his depth in the Premier League, so I don't see any benefit in keeping him. What's the point in him getting Wolves promoted for him to get sacked in the PL? Keeping Rob now is simply delaying the inevitable.

Tomorrow is a very difficult fixture, and I can see where Noisy Mangle is coming from. There will be some players wearing the gold shirts that I will be pleased to see the back of. I really don't know about RE, some of his selections have been baffling and may have cost us some points, but not enough to make any significant difference. Only time will tell if he's the right man, but it's fairly obvious next season's team will be nowhere near Nuno's promotion-winning team in terms of quality.

I personally hate the Championship, where we spent the majority of our wilderness years. I can still remember being at Coventry for our first game after relegation in August 1965. We lost 2-1, and I remember feeling shocked and bewildered that we actually lost. A few weeks before, the 9-3 drubbing at Southampton. This time round I'm walking away. Sorry, but enough is enough.

24 Apr 2026 17:27:23
As a Wolves diehard, I want to win every game. I've had enough embarrassing losses to deal with in the last couple of seasons, and this one has been almost relentless.
I'd like to go out on a high, well a bit of a lift, finish second from bottom and not bottom. If it helps pull Spurs down, all the better, and our season will have some worth to it for me.

(Bitterness born from UEFA final loss).
Seriously, I regard our name and history as paramount in my support, and to have something to take pride in after relegation would help retain our respect as a club.
Whether the bunch of Losers will be thinking the same of this great club, and the privilege in wearing the old gold, remains to be seen.

23 Apr 2026 15:39:50
So this is my take on players who will go/stay
Gk- Sa, Johnston will go
Bentley will stay and probably be first choice
Def- santi, Hugo, r Gomes, Mosquera, Krechi, Doherty, Wolfe, Jackson will go
Toti, Lima will stay
Mf- jrb, j Gomes, a Gomes, Andre, munetsi, Lopez will all go
Doyle, b traore will come back
Forwards- mane, hwang, tolu will go
Armstrong will stay
That leaves us in the unenviable position of rebuilding the whole first team nearly and is we get it wrong we are going to be in the deep deep brown stuff

23 Apr 2026 16:23:48
Of course they'll get it wrong, De Wolf, just like over the last 6 years. Goodwhileitlasted1's post about RE saying they will give youth a chance tells you everything you need to know.
That is, Fosun have zero intention of funding anything significant and Nathan Shi's words will come back to haunt him and us.

23 Apr 2026 23:43:14
Unfortunately, we will be fed BS from Shi & Fosun now for as long as they remain our owners. They've lost interest in funding the club financially & really need to move on. We need ambitious owners who really want to improve the stadium, not just for football but for other events, concerts, etc.

To attract more sponsors & bring additional revenue, not just into WWFC but the city as a whole. It's just very disappointing, looking at teams with good owners and seeing how they are progressing. I can honestly see us following Leicester if Fosun stay.

24 Apr 2026 10:17:20
Their words "a chance" say it for me, Longmynd, are we approaching the Championship giving things "a chance"?

Surely we should be planning with serious intent, knowing what we want and who we'd want, with proven ability, and, in some cases, experience to fulfil the job required.



Yes Rob Edwards has proven himself as a youth development manager, but we're in the real professional position now and need an experienced approach to have any chance of getting back to the top tier.

The "chance" element doesnt fill me with hope.

23 Apr 2026 13:54:25
Express and Star reporting that Edwards is ready to give the youngsters a chance next season.

The way Fosun run the club, it seems this is them telling Rob that incoming will be very minimal and so the youngsters are to be used.

Let's see if they're good enough.

23 Apr 2026 14:14:39
Won't be hardened enough for that division. Maybe one or two, but no more. Battle hardened, mixed with skill & pace is needed.

23 Apr 2026 16:53:42
A few experienced old heads on a free then!

23 Apr 2026 21:33:30
Who are these young players they are talking about who will get a chance? The Under 21s are mediocre at best. I have seen them a few times, and no one is Championship standard. I have a feeling next season will be bleak.

23 Apr 2026 21:46:14
The best youngster at the club is Matheus Mane and even he looks like a spent force under the current regime.

24 Apr 2026 10:42:21
I don't believe Mane is as good as made out. He might, and I stress might, be ok in Championship. We'll have to wait & see. Toti wouldn't get in my old school team.

B'hill, your point about focusing funds on managerial and team development is well made.
However, ground redevelopment, funded by Fosun, would be an indication of their sincerity and revitalised ambition to grow the club and improve the facilities.
It would surely underpin the statements coming out of the Club of late. I won't hold my breath.

23 Apr 2026 09:53:21
The one issue concerning the potential redevelopment of the Molineux stadium is Fosun will probably say - something that Jeff Shi has already said - that there is plenty of big clubs with not very good stadiums.

I personally feel that Jeff Shi's penny pinching has left Wolves in a situation where the Molineux might be okay now, but in a few years it's going to be in an appalling state.

The Steve Bull is more than fifty years old; the Billy Wright is starting to look and feel outdated, and the less said about the Graham Hughes stand the better. The North Bank might be new(ish) but unless the rest of the stadium is refurbished with that stand in mind then it will eventually have to be knocked down. That's the real issue: if Fosun has real plans for the Molineux then the North Bank will probably have to come down.

*I don't know about the South Bank as it's been 30 years since I've sat there.

22 Apr 2026 18:07:27
I don't particularly like Chelsea and how they've bent the rules over the years, but I do think on this occasion Fosun should look to copy Todd Boehly and be ruthless by sacking the manager as soon as the results take a downturn.

22 Apr 2026 19:42:41
I think the bigger issue for both clubs was going for the easy/cheap option in the first instance! In both cases, the chosen manager was never going to be up to the size of the task at hand! I bet Rosenior can't believe his luck: a five-year contract paid out for three months' work. Yes, please. 😂👍

23 Apr 2026 10:31:43
I've put my application in. I'm sick and tired of working 40 hours a week for a pittance.

Happy to see Grey saying about keepers, I don’t like either of them. Plenty to go that we will not be too sorry to lose. Anyone who wants to go let them for a fair fee though, obviously.
Can’t see Neves and Jimenez returning but happy if they do, as others have said though without a good manager we will still struggle.


Some people say we need to give Rob a chance, however from what I have seen he is not really doing that well so I am not so sure, depends on who else is daft enough to join us.

22 Apr 2026 16:53:50
Sam Johnstone was a terrible signing. Pure desperation due to the imminent departure of Sa - that of course didn't happen. 10 million beans down the toilet.

Dan Bentley ain't too bad, and he's a good character to have around, but he's a no.2.

Wolves will probably bring in a young keeper in on loan from a top PL team. Get to the Promised Land, loan him again and then buy if relegation is avoided.

22 Apr 2026 11:44:00
Mosquera apparently wants out. One player I'll absolutely be glad to see the back of. Utter lunatic who's a walking red card. Not even that good defensively. Also his play acting is embarrassing.

Any player at Wolves who gives even the slightest hint that they want out should be sold. Good riddance to the lot of them.

22 Apr 2026 12:12:48
After we supported him through his injuries. This is how he repays us. He was part of the problem, but now thinks he is too good for us. Let him go.

22 Apr 2026 12:23:06
Mosquera just got a two match ban. Thanks, pal, for nothing. Don't bother playing for us again. Anger management therapy is your best bet. And to think, in Nuno's time we used to weed out players like him if they were offered to us. Character is important as a quality. We don't want hotheads.

22 Apr 2026 13:47:36
Not Interested in him, tbh he is a lunatic on the pitch.
Nor our three keepers, all can go.
Let's get Kilman, Neves, Jimenez back.
And build around them.

22 Apr 2026 13:57:29
I'll be glad to see him go. You can't have players like him in a team picking up a yellow in the first 25 minutes. Too petulant, too aggressive, too unstable. I feel for him with the injuries he's had, but he's a liability.

22 Apr 2026 11:46:03
Hopefully WHU get relegated and we can have Nuno back lol.

22 Apr 2026 13:08:57
Nuno won't come back whilst Fosun are here, mate.

22 Apr 2026 13:51:24
I got too much respect for Nuno to wish our club on him!

23 Apr 2026 14:19:27
Oh, how I wish I could bump into those so-called Wolves fans that wanted Nuno out. Be careful what you wish for...
