Are we open for sale

[RichB]

I don’t know and don’t know how credible any of this is but could explain the reluctance managers joining.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Hopefully.

 

[JayStringer]

Asked a few people tonight and they hear the same.

 

[steve vena]

Well if we are , I hope they will be good owners.

 

[JadeWolf]

We have been for ages.

 

[sillytuna]

In hindsight I think the late buys were to increase our value but it's all gone belly up on them.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

FFS What the hell is going on, just when you think it can’t get any worse……………..it does

 

[TriumphWolf]

We have been for ages.

Indeed, pretty old news really

 

[ANONYMOUS☆WOLF]

Couldn’t give a **** either way anymore, watching the club being run like this is just horrendous

 

[WWFC4EVA]

I was calling this 12-18 months ago, when we were seemingly being run lean.
What confuses me about this rumour now, if true, is, what was the splurge of money on player purchases in the summer all about?
Was it a vain attempt at buying players below their perceived market value, in order to raise the overall value of the portfolio and brand, in readiness for selling up?
I really don't know the answer, as I'm not nearly educated enough in the world of big business.
I remember when we signed Nunes though, other teams fans were going mental at the low price and saying he'd leave for £75m+ as soon as one of the big boys came knocking.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

The way the club is being run isnt going to help their cause with this. They wont get as much for it in the championship and will have to offload players at reduced prices.

 

[RichB]

I’ve found it weird. FOSUN are obviously successful and I’m sure Jeff is a good businessman…. but surely he can see the need for a football person to be in. And if he can’t then he is inept.

Shi and Sellars as a combination are woeful. It’s been mistake after mistake really starting with Doc/jota and since this point has been **** up after **** up. I’d argue before this point in time we seemed to be run quite well. Or was it blind luck.

I can’t help thinking Laurie Dalrymple going was a shock and it’s been downhill since but I’m sure I’ll get **** down in flames for that.

Im a bit confused now.

A desperate attempt to retain PL survival to get a better price.

 

[sillytuna]

I think this is nothing more than a failure to understand how to run a football club. Mistake after mistake since the start of nuno's last season. Plain as day why he'd had enough.

 

[rubyloo]

Probably the only scenario that makes sense of the chaos taking place.

 

[Urko]

After spending £100M two months ago ?

Heard it was the stake in Man City.

 

[Bugsy911]

After todays **** show they'll be losing a lot of that money when we're relegated.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

It will be at least some good news for once to get new owners who might just have some idea what they're doing.

Increase the assets.

My opinion of the ‘splurge’ is they can see Nunes will command a £50-£60m fee in a year if he has a half decent season, pot luck on a cheap striker who mayy actually add a few quid on his price, Collins will increase significantly in value, B Traore will surely increase his asking price with prem experience, and the massive saleability of Neves will put high value into the club. Having highly saleable assets make the club more attractive to potential buyers.
That’s my interpretation of the buying ‘strategy’ of the summer at this moment in time.

 

[Pilchard]

INEOS are looking to buy more clubs especially in the Prem. Lucien Favre is their manager at Nice.

They already own part of Mercedes F1 and a cycling team. Bizarrely I believe that Mendes is getting involved in the world of cycling too.

Hasn’t Ratcliffe been linked with Manure?

 

[Perton Wolf]

Can only hope so considering the ongoing shambles.

Maybe we were buying players to assemble the best squad we possibly could for the premier league?

 

[Stourport wolf]

Strange to buy a 42 million pound player and a 27 million pound player, if you are planning on selling a club.

 

[Pilchard]

Hasn’t Ratcliffe been linked with Manure?

I think he tried them & Chelsea but they wouldn’t sell. I think he said he would look elsewhere for any opportunities.

 

[chignalwolf]

Also, can now understand what Cona Coady meant when he left saying something is going on at WWFC. or words to that effect

 

[Stourport wolf]

Well they have a funny way of doing it. Trying to employ a manager who has had 15 games experience and now giving it to someone with a few games experience, is a strange way of keeping the club in the Premier League, to sell them afterwards.

 

[LosgallardosWolf]

FFS What the hell is going on, just when you think it can’t get any worse……………..it does

Why, get rid of Forsun or at least Shi

 

[Perton Wolf]

That was to keep us up and protect their investment.

 

[Wolf316]

Maybe we should have got the absolute best manager too.

 

[OsloWolf]

So, who would be the dream owners?

My biggest fear is something similar to the Newcastle ones.

At the moment nothing they do is making sense.

I’m never a happy clapper but I’m not a negative person either. But I’m kinda bewildered by it all.

 

[RichB]

To be honest sensible owners.

Plenty of cash but have the brains to realise they need a good strong director of football to oversee the football ops side of things.

Not a cash rich company who put someone who hasn’t got a clue in charge

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Yeah, but a good chunk of the fanbase wanted to see Bruno backed.
I still don't see any real coherent idea of who the absolute best manager for the job is. And I still think we're better off now than under the guy we had at the start of the season.

 

[Highlandwolf2]

I heard this earlier today and was told to look out for an imminent announcement.

 

[Stourport wolf]

Then you wouldn't be employing novices, do you agree?

I really didn't like the idea of the Chinese owning our club, I certainly wouldn't want Saudi Arabians here,
there are bigger issues around the World than Footie.

Given us our best time in 40 years.
