Wandering star
Just before half time I left ground
Awful match hand signals v v
& sorry other player john mchalle.

Vp says strand Larsen is struggling
Was he actually watching the came yesterday because they where all bloody struggling.I am struggling to afford to carrying on supporting this crap on a pension.
But want to stay loyal.come on Jeff
How about a free match ticket.

I think vp has been great last season but that's the thing. he's an immediate gain coach. comes in galvanise and win but then 2nd season he's gone. look at his career profile he never stays more than 2 seasons anywhere. I like him but he's tactics are so so dull. pass across back line to centre midfield then back to back line (repeat x20) then loose ball. Its so boring to watch. Tolu is a big target man can't see how he ain't getting a game when jsl clearly is not doing a gret deal (i know poor/no service) hopefully we get some points next week but we will hve to work hard for them

You don't need to understand conor coady
He can use hand signals like I did yesterday to some of the players.
Remember these

At least the tried and what did they get paid
Compered to thos shambles.

19 Oct 2025 12:19:19
When did you use your hand signals to the players?

19 Oct 2025 13:16:22
John Challenge challenges my memory moby.

19 Oct 2025 14:00:58
I only ask because you posted yesterday that you left the ground at half time to go to the pub.

19 Oct 2025 11:50:02
Ok Have said it before give mateus mane a game.
Only 18 someone says
So why vp got a 15yr old on the bench
Makes no sense.

19 Oct 2025 12:36:01
Who was 15 on the bench did I miss someone? I can't see anyone even near 15 everyone is over 21s

19 Oct 2025 14:25:19
Yeah there wasn't anyone that young on the bench. I mean Wolf looks about that age in fairness but other than that they were all first team players.

19 Oct 2025 14:44:17
Lopez youngest at 21yrs 5 months. Moby said he went to the pub at half time; perhaps that has influenced his assessment of player ages.

19 Oct 2025 11:23:37
We have to remember where we were before Fosun came in.
A mid Championship club just drifting along.
They have given us some of the best players we have ever seen at the club and some of the best football we have ever seen.
I am confident that we can turn this situation around once the new signings settle in and acclimatise to the Premier League.
A few more signings in January and we will be fine like we always are.
Be careful what you wish for.

19 Oct 2025 11:53:55
Hi jaz, that sounds all abit hunky dory, yea fosun came with promises and in fairness they delivered to a point, but they didn't follow up did they?
They've let us down and are selling us short. Big issues need resolving and they either can't see it or don't care.
If they do care then things have to change sooner rather than later I'm afraid, keep playing they way we are and everyone will lose interest and we'll be back fighting relegation in the championship next season.
If VP can't change things next Sunday I'm afraid he should be gone, who takes his place is a bigger question, but anyone with some attacking nous and discipline would do.

19 Oct 2025 12:09:26
Abbeywolf if you go to the bottom of the page where you have posted next one down what I've said a bout VP.

19 Oct 2025 12:13:22
To me it is already feeling like when VP will be replaced rather than if he will be. Probably Jeff not thinking the same as always very slow to react. With our recent results, going back to the end of last season as well, what other club would still have VP?

Would any decent manager accept a role seeing what has past before, would like to think they are trying to identify suitable candidates but probably unlikely. Surely someone from the Spanish or Portuguese leagues would have an interest, what an absolute mess again, diabolical.

19 Oct 2025 12:26:13
Hi all. Just to let you know that whilst I no longer post on this forum, I do still read it on a daily basis. I would just like to point out that Jaz M is someone pretending to be me. These are not my thoughts and should not be taken as such. To the person who set up Jaz M account. Get a life. This is one of the reasons I left this site but I thought this needed to be pointed out to all.

19 Oct 2025 12:31:20
Jaz - great to see you posting again.

19 Oct 2025 12:35:28
Good to see you back on here Jas M. You've been missed.

19 Oct 2025 13:24:40
Roberto Martines perhaps Abbey

19 Oct 2025 13:48:31
Well he knows the prem, can speak potugese/Spanish (and welsh?) Les, but I think we've got to problem as outlined by Dmac below. Who'd want to come to us with Jeff and fosuns attitude?

19 Oct 2025 13:57:21
Good to see your well Jas, would be lovely to have you back posting buddy but totally understand why you might not. What is wrong with these people, pretending to be other posters/setting up an entire a/c just to troll about free transfers which aren't real?! Its beyond bizarre and a VERY sad reflection on those individuals and the fact that trolling something as benign as a footy forum is how they choose to spend there time?!
Anyway take care of yourself Jas buddy, be lovely to have you back if you can find the time/patience 👍🐺

20 Oct 2025 07:31:38
My apologies Jas, I took it to be you mate when I responded initially.
I was glad to think you'd rejoined us. I'll be more diligent in future.
Good to hear from you though, I hope alls well with you.

19 Oct 2025 11:16:39
Can anyone explain to me why VP keeps playing Larsen when he knows he's injured and not up to speed. Wolves spent 24mill on Tolu a striker who can't get a game makes no sense just like VP substitutions.

19 Oct 2025 12:16:22
Because the bloke is clueless and needs sacking before it’s too late. Larson is only training a couple of times a week (from vp’s own mouth) and is clearly not up to speed. Puts doc straight back in the team after an operation on his wrist so also must have missed a lot of training and then look at his substitutions. People keep saying we will be ok when the new lads settle in, we are 8 games in now so how long do they need

19 Oct 2025 13:21:21
Can anyone explain what we're trying to do on the pitch?
Are we trying to bore the opposition into submission. Our play is sideways, backwards, with virtually zero goal threat. I could understand it we were absorbing pressure and breaking quickly, but we can't even do that. I can't actually remember their GK needing to make a save yesterday.
I had to register again ( Formerly BlackfordsWolf) but this is some of the worst football I've seen from a Wolves team in a long while.

19 Oct 2025 13:49:34
I agree NG, the system seems to be lacking particularly attacking wise. I think the problem is that we've lost the quality required to break a team down. People are saying this is just down to VPs tactics, some have even suggested getting Ange in because he's more attacking, right?! I would point out to them that over two games VP beat Ange 6-2 last season, so it's not like VP doesn't know how to do it so what's changed exactly then?! Cause I don't believe that VP has massively changed his approach. It's almost like we've sold/released a shed load of quality Prem talent and replaced them with virtually unknown attacking entities isn't it?! As others have pointed out we spent £100+m in the summer but a) we still finished the window £13.5m up and b) for all those players signed currently VP sees just two as up to regularly starting, what do those things tell ya? 😭

19 Oct 2025 14:10:28
Nb-sorry should read beat Spurs 6-4, but we still outcored them across the two matches 👍

19 Oct 2025 07:30:11
So yet again Wolves find themselves in the mire for what is in truth the 4th year in a row with a string of either failed managerial appointments or a failure to adequately back them. A series of annual fire sales of our best players every Summer due to commercial failure followed by panicked signings of replacements up to the last day of the window with players brought in who have no experience at this level, what can possible go wrong?

Is it Manager's tactics or maybe a lack of confidence as new players realise that this league really is another level or is the bigger picture that's constantly screwing the Club over? Do the owners belief that the January window and 'new Manager bounce' is all that's needed to keep us up? It doesn't work for the team and it doesn't work for the fans but does it work for them? Is it the Chinese Government telling Fosun to back off due to the current geo political situation and their strained relationships with the West? Is it the damage done to the Fosun Group post Covid and the subsequent need to restructure and consolidate? Or did Fosun get cold feet when they realised the likely costs of a European campaigns and adjusted their ambitions to ensure that didn't happen?

The lack of communication and a clear plan, beyond the obvious, all leading to such questions and speculation. but no clear answers. A Chairman who has admitted to being more interested in frickin' computer games than football and yet there are still some that will argue that the club doesn't need new owners, just a change of Manager. This is rapidly becoming toxic for one reason as their 'gravy tomorrow' bullsh*t has brought the Club to an inevitable and predicted, new low. Until Shi/Fosun are gone this club will never amount to a hill of beans as I can't see this particular leopard changing it's spots, have they no pride?

19 Oct 2025 07:58:43
All so true Long.
My thoughts from yesterday.
A new low for our beloved Football Club.
Once again the pattern looks to be repeated, another manager frustrated and let down by the Ownership.
The manager - Tactics questionable, team selection questionable, clearly not happy with the summer transfer strategy. Will be gone shortly.
The Club - I just can't understand the Owners. Their management of the Club is difficult to follow. The token CEO now Head of Football as well?
When will the nightmare end?!

19 Oct 2025 09:15:41
Comments above from Long and Rugeley pretty much sum up the shambles the club are in once again, no surprise which makes everything worse unfortunately. Unlikely that Jeff will make a quick decision on VP so things will just continue in the same way, if the performance is poor v Burnley things will turn very sour quickly from the stands. Surely at some point Jeff has to be replaced, his bosses must be thinking not this again year on year.
Have to feel a little for all managers having to put up with it, in saying this our football this season is poor, boring to watch, too slow and predictable and VP should be doing better.

19 Oct 2025 09:31:14
Regarding a leader on the pitch.
We miss conor coady. Tbh.
Id give him a role with the coaching staff at once

19 Oct 2025 09:40:24
At 2 million I would have bought Coady back even to sit on the bench, his experience, vocal support and experience is just what we are lacking

19 Oct 2025 10:54:23
Coady would be a great idea if he could speak French, Spanish or Portuguese!

We need a competitive hungry billionaire owner and a CEO who lives and breathes football!

We gave away our best players during Summer, as usual, and we’ll limp in last to the finish line.

First the window, then the door.

19 Oct 2025 11:45:12
I think his message would get across from his infectious voice alone, boS. let's be honest his scous accent is hard enough for English speaking players
Seriously though we are so lacking in leadership and direction its no wonder we've lost identity.

19 Oct 2025 13:19:25
Anyone that's watched Connors interview about leaving will know that like most people he will never work for Shi again! He spoke about hearing through Sky that the club were considering bids/trying to move him on and just crying in his living room cause he was so shocked that he'd had to find out that way! Disgusting behaviour and frankly sums up why many players and managers don't seem to leave great terms!

19 Oct 2025 07:39:06
{Ed's Note - Thestigno1 has posted a new article entitled, Where Are Glasgow Rangers Heading?

19 Oct 2025 06:55:00
So if Wolves sack VP who do they go for I've said before no manager with any credibility will touch Wolves with a barge pole. Why Fuson selling there best players year on year and that's the reason we're in the position were in. And it seems to be the same when trying to buy a player how many turned down Wolves in the summer 3 that we all know about but behind the scenes how many more. Plus I don't know if I trust VP any more his substitutions are ridiculously sometimes 1nill down and you take your RB of then replace a winger with another RB. As I said at the top Wolves can sack VP but then who replaces him that is the question remember when Wolves sa cked O'NEIL at least 5 managers turned Wolves down.
