Then hopefully Fosun will sell the club to somebody that can.

I am generally bloody awful getting me head around the ins and outs of FFP, but now that threat of sanction is out of the way I cant see a reason why Wolves cannot spend some 25-50m without fear regardless of players leaving. Whether they will or not remains to be seen , but thats a completely different issue from "we cant because of FFP"
Maybe, hadn't looked at it like that. We'll see.Does he mean he hopes he gets the money to spend , over Jorge ......
No, I'm aware of that, but this sounds to me like he's hoping for a portion rather than the majorityThe whole fee will not be reinvested thanks to paying agents' fees and the taxman.
Why would anyone want to spend the millions needed to do this without any prospect of a return and if someone had the available funds and motivation to waste them why would they choose Wolves, as opposed to any of the other dozen or so top tier clubs, who are also unable to compete with the top Manchester and London clubs on their own terms?Then hopefully Fosun will sell the club to somebody that can.
With the world cup approaching and the fact he’s only just been called up to the national team, I imagine he probably prefers a move to Benfica where he’ll know he will start for a Big 3 team, in a league he’s used to, and also get UCL football to give him more of a chance to be in that squad come November.Why don't we buy horta as he is pretty cheap.
It’s my favourite conspiracy theory (closely followed by people who don’t believe the moon landings).My ex mrs thought the world was flat for 39 years of her life until we watched the International Space Station documentary beaming back live pictures of a round earth.
She was genuinely bamboozled
With context, he points out moreso the fact that no one can.Then hopefully Fosun will sell the club to somebody that can.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed lol
The sell-to-buy strategy would be far more palatable if we actually sold the players who were surplus to requirements instead of just loaning them out, hoping that they'll magically catch some other club's eye like a twinkle of silver foil. We have a ridiculous number of players on our books who will likely never play for Wolves, but we parcel them around because there's no market for them. For example, hawking Cutrone for £5m to some gullible club willing to take a punt would be a shocking loss compared to what we paid, but it's still £5m in the pot we won't otherwise get, because we sure as hell aren't going to sell him for £15m if that's what we're waiting for.
100%. It happens. And given Cutrone’s inability to make a go of it at any of the clubs we’ve loaned him to, it seems it’s all down to him.As for Cutrone, he wasn’t bought to loan out, he was clearly bought to play, but it didn’t work out. It happens.
Must be a Baggie.I had a bloke saying that the moon's a hologram and all food produced is trying to posion us by the royal family. So he only eats food he grows in his garden, but fasts for a couple days after every day he eats Incase they got it in his food.
Dirty Leeds fans had plenty of entertainment and goals this season, and stopped up by the skin of their teeth!Fans want entertainment & goals - its that simple

So you don't think sportswashing had anything to do with Fosun buying us then?So looking at the options you would prefer to be owner either by some dubious oligarch who will use us for sportswashing away his association with human rights abuses, or some mythical magical owner who happens to want to spend his hard earned billions on us with no expectation of a return?
I realise Fosun have their own dubious associations with a shady regime, but at least they're trying to run us as a viable, growing business rather than a PR plaything to cover up torture.

Thanks but I'll settle for mid-table mediocrity.
Just hoping that this window will be more productive. To me it doesn't make sense for Fosun to almost deliberately allow us to be relegated because of the effect on the value of their investment, but who knows what plans they have!We'll be lucky to get mid table after this squad has been gutted. I hope we get some decent replacements in (especially for Ruben) but based on the last few transfer windows I can't see it.
Roughly translates to Barca cant afford him so appealing to him to force a move.
be interesting to see how many of those fans still support us if we get relegatedShocking of Shi to say that fans around the world and eSports fans are just as important as local fans and the problem is local fans not being on the same page as the rest of the wolves fans around the world. I'm not expecting too many signings now.

Week 2 of what.?
That indicator may be true but ultimately , all business is not down to financials, unless there is no cash available.The largest indicator that Fosun will not do that is that they wrote off their loan to us, to have another loan whilst still having equity tied in the club is a very unorthodox and tax inefficient way of doing things and highly unlikely.
No no, we are about to cash in on our biggest assets. George will be here.If we’ve no money to spend, uncle Jorge will soon be off, he only wants agents fees
Good point, Doherty proved thatNo no, we are about to cash in on our biggest assets. George will be here.
He gets paid for our outgoings too.
Off where?If we’ve no money to spend, uncle Jorge will soon be off, he only wants agents fees
So you’ve been duped big time? They misled you when they invested their 200 million and now you want them to leave? Have I got that right? Hope you do better due diligence before you let anyone else buy.They bought us solely for the brand and badge. Clearly obvious from the Ask Wolves transcripts
Yes they spent heavily to position the brand into the limelight of the PL. Now it’s in place , ( for one season more ) , FOSUN will spend as little as possible of their own money to try and maintain mid table obscurity. What awesome ambition !
The bull**** about CL places and challenging for top four places was always a pipe dream. They could easily have achieved it this season with a decent window , but no , minimalistic Jeff shone through
What an absolute kick in the face to all loyal fans to now be told you are a clan, that isn’t wanted and they just want to promote e bloody sports and fashion
We’ve been duped big time

So we're not in the best place the club has been since Jaws was at the cinema?
That could quickly unravel if they arent careful this summer.
The closed season
Wolves at the door: Billionaire owners insist they will be bigger than Manchester City... so watch out Premier League
Published 15th September 2018.
- Jeff Shi, Wolves executive chairman, has high hopes for top-flight newcomers
- Shi doesn't balk at the suggestion that the club wants to match Manchester City
- Their opening four displays in Premier League suggest that they are here to stay
- There are plans to expand Molineux, eventually perhaps to a 50,000 stadium
Of course it has stuck in the mind after so many dark hours, days, nights, weeks, month, years and seasons of doubt!
I am not resetting any expectations. Just remembering what was said.
To whoever will pay for the next Neto or silva, which don’t look like us! We are a corporate thing now not a team, ace ain’t itOff where?
