The Fosun Gathering

[A wolves comeback]

Quite a gathering of Fosun big wigs at Molineux today, the top man was there and rather interestingly there were one or two agents amongst them including Mendes. The eternal optimist in me automatically thought that something must be going on, regarding player movement.

 

[Monketron]

Guo just happened to be in the country doing other work so came along, wouldn't look too much into it.

 

[WasStefan]

Like flies round ****. Happens in most corporates. Nothing to see

 

[TheRetroChief]

Why would Mendes be there if not for business? Presumably he wouldn’t be there for just ****s and giggles would he? I’d have thought he’d have his hands full at the moment.

I’d say that would be a pretty good indication of drop more incoming mendes action, no?

Mendes agency has a box in the BW. Saw it on a tour a couple of weeks back.

Or outgoings......

Or out goings. He’s traore and neves agent

 

[TheRetroChief]

Well, thanks for ****ing on my chips everyone!

 

[ws1wolf]

Hundred percent something is happening,
Mendes doesn’t come to watch Wolves for fun, let’s just hope it’s an incoming and not an outgoing

Spoilsport.

 

[A wolves comeback]

I'm still leaning towards player movement, although a lot of the Fosun entourage did look like family. I may be completely wrong but surely at this time of year Mendes would have more on his plate than just watching Wolves. If we can't have these good thoughts, what's the point?

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

Mendes was there to beg Wolves to put Ronaldo out he's misery and sign him

Never thought I’d say this… but no thank you

I doubt that Guo does anything by chance because he “just happened to be in the country”.
Absolutely no doubt that seeing Wolves was not top of his priority list but every aspect of his visit will have been mapped out in detail, and if he had more important things to do he would have done them.
Guo has seen Wolves twice in a few weeks, and will have met up with Shi; no doubt in my mind they will have discussed progress against the current plan and discussed future activities to adjust the plan.

I hope they didn’t want to be entertained.
Seriously you need the men at the top to see that **** show that Sellars and Shi have put together.

Sellars, Shi AND Lage

 

[Superted]

Could we not just sell one of our corporate boxes to a subsidiary of Fosun for £100M?

That would resolve any budgetary issues for the time being.

 

[oldgolded]

I hope that if they are not looking to sell the club Guo might have thought that the ground could do with a bit of a spruce up, or even finish what Morgan started and eliminate the lopsided look.

I cant recall that I said anything odd ? So can anyone add light to that ?

Thanks

 

[inaglasshouse]

Great to see. I expect we are close to some major player movement - in and out.

At the moment there's a few others thinking that way too!

 

[VancouverWolf]

Guo’s visit is probably a kind of business check-up……in-depth candid talks with Jeff and then with Mendes…..and then with the accountants and then with the lawyers instead of on ZOOM.
Probably discussions on present and future.

A reassessment of all things Wolves and his initial plan when he bought Wolves. Guo might be doing the rounds of his businesses as he deals with Fosun’s cash crunch issues and China’s economic ‘turmoil.
The size of his entourage would be a hint of possible improvements.

I think it’s a good sign for us fans.

A Bentley limo pulled up back of the South Bank around 1pm with a suited chap getting out and walking round the back of the South Bank.
Registration was "1 TSV". Been trying to look for agents or anything to do with these initials.
Only thing I can find is TSV 1860 Munich. Might just be a posh South Banker!

No, you had a post removed because it was replying to a post that was deleted for trolling.

Thanks Mutchy . Phew - I thought I had been bad or my memory was wobbly .

 

[wwbug]

Just seeing Mendes and Gou together raises my mood.
I was wondering if they were drifting apart.
But plainly they are not.
And they both saw Wolves in their most natural mode.
Unable to take a game by the scuff of its neck and win.
Very high risk of relegation IMO , with this present set up.

TSV means Turn und Sportverein... it's the German equivalent of Football Club... so could be connected to any German club, not just 1860.

Anyone seen that there was supposed to be some dubai investment fund there yesterday?

The question is, did they decide Dubai or not Dubai a stake in Wolves?

Was is definitely TSV?

(Not doubting you at all, by the way!)

Pure speculation on my part, but could point to new investment (the equity type, not the player type).

Any new investor would almost certainly want to visit the stadium and you would expect the big guns to be in town for it.

I was at the Etihad and had a random encounter with the City Group CEO and Chairman who were showing new investors around the stadium, hospitality areas (where I was) etc.

Not the same bloke as far as I can tell. The bloke above is in a Youtube vid here - nothing like the bloke pictured with Guo and Shi.

 

[OLDGOLD]

He looks unimpressed at something...maybe he doesn't like the balti pies?
