Think this is a good summary.
Exactly. Suddenly Richards, Hibbitt, Hughes, Parkin, Palmer and Carr weren’t the players they had been and the replacements such as Cartwright, Hollifield and Rudge were nowhere near good enough. I just hope we unearth some players like John Humphrey...
I don’t think there’s much chance we will “kick on”, the best we can hope for is stay at the same level and build some solid foundations to allow the club to steadily improve. As things stand it will take a massive improvement on recent recruitment to finish top half next season and I can see Newcastle, Brighton, Villa and Palace all finishing above us next season.
One Man’s pessimism is another’s realism!
Are you new here?
We’re currently 8th, and if we do end up replacing 4/5 of the current team, if the replacements are better then we should be able to improve on our current position. Ideally you’d be replacing 1-2 players every window rather than 5 in one go but it’s the position we’re in and we’ll have to deal with it.
Agreed but we are relying on the guys who decided it was a good idea to sign Hwang in January.
8th does not reflect performances! Good luck finding a better replacement for Neves when the fee we get will also have to fund other signings. It’s the position we’re in because recent recruitment has generally been poor so i find it hard to believe we’re suddenly going to improve four or five positions. I hope I’m wrong.
But that's half the fun.
Spot on. If we had kept the £100M in the bank we wouldn't be much worse off...
I agree, he has been a ****-show so far, I don't trust his ability at all.
I get your point but ‘puppet’ is harsh on Shi ... he is a Fosun employee charged with looking after Wolves. Of course he won’t set the budget without discussion with those above him.
There may be one or two ..
I hope it’s a positive WOW, as Hwang was also a “WOW”!
Notknew ..been on here years and understand the crap posted on here.. do not mind criticism but believe should wait until window closes as many things are about to change ..
It depends on definition of WOW .. Trincao was also a WOW .. still believe there he can become a great player ..
I was in the Court on that day. Talk about nerves and being on edge.
That's the problem with your cut and paste diatribes, you forget to update parts of it. Hence you missed Semedo being one of our best players for two thirds of the season until he got injured. Funny how you don't list any successes. Boring one track rubbish which ignores the fact that without these "clowns" we'd still be rotting in the Chump.
I don't know why that decision was rushed. Didn't make any sense.
Especially as if we’d waited we would be sending him back and have £12m to spend on someone else.
I worked near the Law Courts and went into the public gallery. One of the creditors wouldn't agree to a deal that had been arranged and wanted to wind us up. The Judge, thankfully, over ruled it and we were saved.I was at Butlins Barry Island,in the tv lounge watching the news.Chewin me fingers.
My guess about 48 hrs if we lose tomorrow
I think there absolutely must be a financial incentive to do it early. ie buy him in jan and it costs £10M or buy in summer for £14M. It is the only logical conclusion. But still arguably the wrong decision, just more understandable.
Not if you want to live in 1972 it isn't. Most of us don't.
