Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

Because he is not being truthful about our financial situation.
Killman would represent 30 million profit. Along with neves sale that is 60 million profit. We have already banked 93 million from all the sales.

This is more than ffp and i don't for one minute believe shi's open letter.

If we sold killman none of the money would be reinvested. Then they will sell nunes, fabio and gomes. 26 million has come off the wage bill too but still we apparently need to sell.

This goes beyond ffp because fosun are in financial distress. They are asset stripping.

Aren't there also the MGW & Boly add ons from Forest

Do you think this is the only sport I watch? Not to mention, I've been to about 15 Canada games in the last few years.

I see a lot of sports live. And while you're right, there's more emotion and fun going to a live game, I'd wager it's far easier to pay attention and analyze a game on video. There's pros and cons to each viewing experience.

However, Wolves playing poorly ruins my days in different ways. I have to watch them at 7am or 10am usually, and then my entire day is ruined. To imply there's no emotion makes zero sense. Just check out the comms thread during a game and tell me that's not an over emotional bunch.

You really need to attend a couple of games to understand, you have no idea. Offer remains about ticket in South Bank, will leave it there.

 

[Hawkguy]

Perhaps presumptuous would have been a better word. It is a tad irritating for those of us who go to matches to be told trans-Atlantic what we should be thinking.

I'm not telling anyone what they should be thinking. You're free to think how you please. This is a discussion forum for supporters. We all post opinions that we feel are correct.

I love this club with my all heart. And to be quite honest, I don't care if you believe it or not.

I am very very worried. Chinese companies are in huge trouble, anyone think Shi won't comeback, Hobbs left in charge and Fosun effectively pulled the plug? I hope not.

 

[StaffordWolf]

The club will have brought in over 200m this season with player sales (to date) and PL money, not to mention the wage bill being slashed. Add the money from tickets food drinks etc.

How much are our outgoings if we are still struggling due to FFP? I can't make it make sense.

 

[Supadavewolf]

You could well be right, but I don't get why you would sell the family silver, only to be left with a worthless cutlery tray?

As we are an investment in Fosun's portfolio, I would have thought they'd do everything in their power to keep the capital value of the investment high, not risk its value dropping like a stone if and when we get relegated.

Are we classing wrestling as a sport?(I say this as an AEW fan)

Tbh you're assuming they have the cash flow to continue running it day to day.

 

[Hawkguy]

Unfortunately, it's not really that easy for me in my current setup. I work full time and getting time off approved isn't the easiest considering my seniority.

Add in that most games are weekends when I wrestle and it doesn't leave many options.

I will see a game live before I die. But I'm no less of a supporter than you because you've been there live.

I used to scrounge the depths of the internet for any piece of Wolves news because I couldn't see the games over here.

 

[Wolf316]

Asset stripping, plain and simple.

My guess(and I’m probably completely wrong) is their asset stripping and hoping to god to stay in the premier league this season and then they’ll sell up.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Tbh you're assuming they have the cash flow to continue running it day to day.

Yup.

This is the likely concern, isn't it.

 

[Hawkguy]

As a wrestler, I clearly love it so I'd be a bias answering that.

Feels like that.

Whos to say we arent already in that situation and we just dont know it yet. We didnt know lops had handed his notice in 2 weeks ago

 

[Wolf316]

Have you wrestled anyone we might have heard of?

 

[lobodelsur]

This goes beyond ffp because fosun are in financial distress. They are asset stripping.

If we lose our PL status Fosun will lose more money (over 200 million) than they will gain by selling some of the big names like Nunes, Kilman etc. It doesn't make any sense, particularly after they heavily financed our relegation fight last season.

I don't think Kilman will be moved on according to this just been made captain by O'Neil..

It’ll be the quickest shafting of a manager in history

 

[Longford Wolf]

Many fans spend £000's of travelling, including me from another country including me, so your point?

North Wales is hell of a lot closer than Canada. Others. Probably travel from Cornwall which is in England and further away than you are.

 

[Wolf316]

Feels like that.

With us apparently being able to spend next year it may make us a little bit more attractive if the new owners can come in and spend.

 

[Wolf316]

As has been said £35m and he's gone.

 

[Supadavewolf]

We've got our own star wrestler.

Jeff's wrestling with football - related decisions.

And losing...

I think they are scrambling around trying to save Fosun as a whole, I don't think they'll be too worried what happens to us

I get the feeling they're that in the **** financially, that all they're bothered about is the now!
They might not even be around to worry about a loss of £200m, if/when it happens.... let's just hope we are!

 

[Hawkguy]

Have you wrestled anyone we might have heard of?

No probably not, but I'm on a poster with Brutus Beefcake, Mickie James, Tommy Dreamer, and Tatanka for next month, which is pretty cool.

 

[Perton Wolf]

The club will have brought in over 200m this season with player sales (to date) and PL money, not to mention the wage bill being slashed. Add the money from tickets food drinks etc.

How much are our outgoings if we are still struggling due to FFP? I can't make it make sense.

It's not FFP anymore, more a cash flow issue due to FOSUN pulling the plug in a financial sense.

 

[Rhoswolf]

North Wales is hell of a lot closer than Canada. Others. Probably travel from Cornwall which is in England and further away than you are.

True and your point? So my average travel costs each season over £2k, how much air fare from Canada?

 

[StaffordWolf]

With us apparently being able to spend next year it may make us a little bit more attractive if the new owners can come in and spend.

Hopefully any potential new owners are not mentally impaired.

Because Fosun are not underwriting the rolling £105m loss therefore we can only lose £15m over 3 years. So we need to find approx £100-£105m this year.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

Your the one who wrestles dressed in a Jack Russell costume right!?!?!

 

[Supadavewolf]

No probably not, but I'm on a poster with Brutus Beefcake, Mickie James, Tommy Dreamer, and Tatanka for next month, which is pretty cool.

Has Brutus Beefcake ever met Sean Derry?

 

[Hawkguy]

Your the one who wrestles dressed in a Jack Russell costume right!?!?!

Yeah, how'd you know? lol

 

[Redhillwolf]

Jesus, every sodding day seems worse than the last one!

Exactly this….can anybody remember coming on here and reading anything positive since the season ended?! God it’s depressing reading but yet I cling onto the hope that every time I check there will be something to lift the mood….surely please there has to be something soon!!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

In normal circumstances, selling kilman is exactly what we should do for huge FFP gains.

Right now though you cannot trust fosun at all to bring anyone in, and what player would want to join - so he has to stay

 

[stever]

Because he is not being truthful about our financial situation.

Go and take a cold shower mate, I think your last sentence is absolute rubbish

 

[StaffordWolf]

Because Fosun are not underwriting the rolling £105m loss therefore we can only lose £15m over 3 years. So we need to find approx £100-£105m this year.

In that case, unless we get new owners our Premier League days are well and truly numbered.

 

[Wolf316]

No probably not, but I'm on a poster with Brutus Beefcake, Mickie James, Tommy Dreamer, and Tatanka for next month, which is pretty cool.

That’s well cool! You do know you're going to have to put up a pic of that poster now.

Because, of course, Wolves would never do anything so comically stupid or underhand as to sell their new manager's new captain without telling him first.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

Yeah, how'd you know? lol

You posted a picture of it a while back. A lad dressed up in a dog costume is not something you often see on the Mix so I remembered it.

 

[Joshwolf218]

Because Fosun are not underwriting the rolling £105m loss therefore we can only lose £15m over 3 years. So we need to find approx £100-£105m this year.

That's a very good point if we can only post a 15mil loss this year due to them not covering the losses then it's a bit bleak as I bet they won't meet commercial targets etc with some people abstaining

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Because, of course, Wolves would never do anything so comically stupid or underhand as to sell their new manager's new captain without telling him first.

Not many offers, still plenty of time to sell off the Crown Jewels
