Anyone sending any questions in?

 

[Wolf316]

With less glamorous games not selling out and away fans getting tickets for games that do sell out will you be bringing loyalty points back next season?

 

[Flaneur]

Interesting… Bruno and his coaching staff will be making an appearance on the panel this time it seems:

“Supporters have two weeks to submit their questions for members of staff behind the scenes to answer, with representatives from the Academy, Wolves Women, the commercial department, Wolves Foundation and even head coach Bruno Lage and his coaching team set to take part.”

 

[Chris H]

It’s interesting that they’re doing this again this year considering the fall out from last years and the subsequent summer transfer window…

Either they’re doubling down and they’ll back up their statements this year or they’ll get ripped to shreds for being tone deaf again.

Either way, it should keep this place busy over the summer with no football and, undoubtedly very little in the way of rumours as normal!

 

[clivewolves]

Fair play to them doing this again, and including even more departments this time. I'll be sending in some questions again.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

What's happening with the stadium, followed by what's happening with the stadium and also what's happening with the stadium. Those would be my 3 top questions. New Steve Bull, expanded South Bank and capacity of 40k. Build it and they will come!

I think it’s become clear there’s almost no point asking about expansion (except perhaps the other temporary stand that never happened).

But I would like to hear them speak about the general state of the stadium at the moment - disrepair, dirtiness, flaking paint, bare foundations outside the South Bank for months etc. particularly with England set to visit.

And why is the TV in my lounge still bigger than the video walls!!!!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

This should be entertaining

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Q) are we finally going to sign some players to support our new manager

Bruno ) I hope so. I would like 3-4 new signings

Jeff ) yes of course - we have extended gomes contract and will recall Mgw and Giles who will be like new signings for Bruno

It’s the font they use that bothers me, can’t read the half time scores. Bloody annoying

 

[Shergar]

Are we getting royally shafted by Barcelona and Adama? Please explain in full what has happened here.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I can't see the point personally. Is Jeff going to tell us about Neves staying or going? Is Lage going to tell us who are his Summer purchases? Will we be told anything on ground improvements and how they have the nerve to charge top dollar to sit in a **** house like the SBU? Will they tell us what the ST increases are going to be? A waste of time.

Jeff Shi can give us an update on Fabio.

In last years Q&A he said the following.


“I want to say, Fabio at the beginning I thought he is the top player at his age in the world.

“Now, I think it has even proved that, because not so many 18-year-olds have played in the Premier League, score four goals, five goals, and maybe you can hear more names around the world, OK some wonderkid here or there, but no one is playing the same as Fabio is doing now in the league, in the toughest league in the world.

“You can do something maybe in Germany, in Portugal, but it’s different from the Premier League, so I still keep my position, I say that he is at least top three, or top one, best wonderkid in the world at his age.”

The extension of a south bank would be my first priority it would be easy to do also. The roof can come off it was part of the original plans?

We should set an under/over figure for the amount of times the yes men will look for Jeff’s approval during their answers.
And how many times Shifty Sellars talks to the table cloth when he is answering..

 

[Cousins78]

Main ones for me which i hope will be answered
Lack of recruitment, has ffp stopped us from signing players?
Stadium development?
Season ticket prices?
Wi-fi improvement in ground?

 

[Ned]

Q) Due to last year's Ask Wolves being an unmitigated PR disaster, do you feel that this is the best idea?

 

[sc91]

Main ones for me which i hope will be answered
Lack of recruitment, has ffp stopped us from signing players? No, Wolves are operating a self-sufficient model that relies on a one in and one out policy in order to maintain a positive net position.
Stadium development? No, see above, this is costly and not a prudent long term investment, especially as we will not be putting further loans into Wolves
Season ticket prices? Self suffcient clubs need income from as many sources as possible, season tickets and match day revenue are a key point of cash flow, and thus any increase is necessary
Wi-fi improvement in ground? Cost is an issue.

I mean, I can answer those for you.

 

[sc91]

My question.

Regarding external investment, how long till the IPO.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Given the importance placed on building social media “fans” what is being done to monetise them - for example why is the fulfilment of overseas orders placed from the club shop so awful?

 

[Deleted member 7862Bler]

Ask Jeff if there is usually any anti-Wolves sentiment from people from Walsall or if they are often Wolves supporters.

 

[Cousins78]

I mean, I can answer those for you.

Cheers Jeff

 

[Kcb92]

Won't even bother watching. The last series proved to be nothing but lip service in parts and a thinly veiled PR attempt in others. They'll skirt anything too challenging and spin the rest with scripted responses.

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

It’s the font they use that bothers me, can’t read the half time scores. Bloody annoying

I agree, I struggle to read the clock to see how much time is left

 

[Matt]

Can’t wait to hear that now we’ve finished 8th, our season tickets are too cheap and must rise.

 

[GV Wolf]

And no over tight shirts around the table please (unlike last year)

 

[hollo]

Dear jeff
Please can you build us a 50,000 stadium.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Dear jeff
Please can you build us a 50,000 stadium.

Last time to a stadium redevelopment question, Jeff said spare cash will be spent on the first team and the academy.
While understandable, (no fan wants first team investment to suffer) the first team will always be a top priority, so how will the stadium ever be progressed?

 

[hollo]

If the john ireland stand sinks we may get a large replacement stand.

We should definitely pull down the Alba TV between the South Bank and Steve Bull. I've said this before but from behind that, i.e. J10 and in S1 & 2, you can't hear the other stand sing, hence J10 often starting a new song or giving it the old 'South Bank give us a song' when they're actually singing! It acts as a very effective acoustic barrier.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I’d ask them about their expectations for next 3 years

 

[hollo]

Dear jeff
Are you going to continue the sell to buy policy or adopt a buy buy buy policy?

 

[1972 i began]

Dear jeff
Please can you build us a 50,000 stadium.

Dear jeff. Tek no notice of hollo,it ay needed.Not 50,000 anyway.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Why did we sign Hwang early when it is quite apparent he is pretty crap?

 

[Starsky]

If I started queuing for a beer in the NB concourse an hour before kick off, would I get one by half time?

 

[Jack Russell]

If the john ireland stand sinks we may get a large replacement stand.

Please don't mention that name on here!

 

[WKFWolf]

Damned if they do, Damned if they don't.

 

[Dawnwolf]

Last year season ticket prices rose significantly, this was on the basis we wanted to compete with the top clubs, we were assured of this with "trust me"

For whatever reason, the signings didn't transpire, this is evident in Bruno's comments throughout both windows.

Therefore, with the cost of living/ energy crisis I urge Wolves not to increase prices further this year.

In addition, in future, deliver first then charge for it opposed to arguably misleading sales.

And finally to note, Membership Plus scheme is/was a joke.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Urgh. Don't like this.
