Daily Mail Exclusive 12.20pm today (10.12.2025) -
Wolves are planning a major overhaul of their recruitment strategy and are to give more responsibility to their own recruitment staff who say that previous coaches have ignored their suggestions.
Fosun also plan to invest in the squad.
Rob Edwards is in agreement with the new strategy
Good news only IF the recruitment staff know who to go for, what fees to pay and what players are needed for what positions.
An excellent goalkeeper would be a start!

Rob Edwards is the Head Coach. He tells the recruitment the qualities he is looking for in a player and the recruitment team give him a list of players who tick the boxes and the club signs one of them.
If he was the manager, he would identify the players himself and trust the club to sign them.
Edwards is nothing more than a yes man who will inevitably be thrown under the bus when Jeff Shi and co have further embarrassed our club.

While Shi remains Head of Football, with all Football Depts reporting directly to him, our decline will continue.
Fosun need to sack him as CEO and certainly bring in an industry specialist as Head of Football with a strong CV.

Sorry to be a cynic but these articles about 'changes in approach to recruitment' are ALWAYS just lip service as Jeff scrambles to pretend genuine change is happening. It just goes round in circles, at the start of the summer Jeff said that the manager didn't have enough input so we (wrongly) got rid of Hobbs and said we were basically setting up our recruitment to accommodate VP by going out and spending good money getting Teti in place.
Fast forward and after we have the WORST transfer window in Jeff's history (which when you think about it is almost impressive considering some that have gone before) and suddenly we sack VP, Teti walks and it all needs to be changed again!
How's it going to be changed you ask well we are going to go back to the recruitment team having more control again, ya know just like they did under Hobbs the LAST TIME when they told us that it wasn't working cause we weren't listening to the manager enough?! Honestly you couldn't make this bs up and sadly it's got SO bad that its not even funny anymore! Well I say it's not funny I bet Hobbs is laughing his absolute arse off as he sits comfortably over at Palace!
It's all just very shameful, pitiful and transparent diversion techniques! Classic politicians response to adversity, the fans are protesting so Jeff needs something to blame so he wheels out the same old tripe he's said every other season about 'changing recruitment policy'! At this stage we could have Alex Ferguson himself run our recruitment and it would make NO difference! This club is rotten to its Jeff Shi/Fosun core and no amount of new scouts or DoFs are going to change that!
Many on here thought Hobbs was the problem well he's suddenly looking pretty good compared to the last window isn't he, rinse and repeat and start again! Worst part is that Jeff actually think us fans fall for this absolute bs! ?

Bang on the money BullysBoy. They really think we cannot see through the tosh they come out with. I despair at the way Fosun play with this club, lacking all respect for it, the fans, and it's place in the City.
