We are so involved ourselves with goings-on at the club day to day, that it is very difficult for us to understand how neutral football fans view Wolves, our squad, manager, and our new signings this season.
Do you think we are seen as the new moneybags team- the next 'big thing', or a bit of a laughing stock- with an untried manager, which is doomed to fail like a lot of other teams before?
Somewhere in the middle, probably, but I wonder how a lot of people are thinking about us at the moment. We seem to have gone about things a bit more extreme than, for example Sheffield Wednesday that were taken over by rich owners- but didn't make a mass of new signings like we did. Be interesting to gauge how other people view our new players- whether they see them as exciting and ambitious, or unknowns. I think if we had signed well-known Championship players for a few quid (the Ross McCormacks and David Nugents of this world) we would be getting a lot more positive press than we are currently doing. I'm not saying that would be the best thing to do, just that it would have got people talking us up a lot more.
Speaking to people at work that know I am a Wolves supporter, they still seem blissfully unaware of the big changes that have happened at Molineux. Wonder if that is the same with everyone.
