    Wolves

    Takeover done... Fit and proper test needed?? Here Wolves bought by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International for £45m By Pat Murphy BBC Radio 5 live 1 hour ago From the sectionFootball Sharethis page Wolves were last in the Premier League in 2012 Wolves have been bought by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International for £45m, with the club expected to confirm the deal on Thursday. They are the second Championship club to have Chinese owners after Midlands rivals Aston Villa were sold to Dr Tony Xia earlier this year. Previous owner Steve Morgan put the club up for sale at the start of last season and stepped down from the board. Chief executive Jez Moxey has been managing day-to-day business affairs. Cheshire businessman Morgan, who made his money through house building company Redrow, had previously tried to buy Premier League giants Liverpool prior to taking over Wolves from Sir Jack Hayward in August 2007. Fosun International also has links with the renowned super-agent Jorge Mendes - who represents, among others, Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mendes sold a minority share of his agency Gestifute to a subsidiary of Fosun late last year and is expected to play a part in recruitment at Wolves. Wolves finished last season in 14th place in the Championship, 16 points from the play-offs and 18 points clear of relegation.
  3. First episode of Eden... That Anton is a clearing in the woods! His idea is sensible but done the wrong way. The yoga instructor, what a useless cow. What the hell does the life coach bring. Finally how has the fisherman not caught loads?
  4. Out in Stratford on my lunch break today, many swimming in the Avon... Many more in bikinis, I didn't want to go back to work
  5. Rich don't get rich by throwing money around hastily
  6. As a none arsenal fan, Wenger is so frustrating, so I can't imagine what it must be like to an Arsenal fan. Why won't he just spend £70m ish on a top class striker and defender (money which they have) to really make a statement and push for the league title.
  7. **** scum... Should be banned from all sports for 10 years. Kicked out of holding the World Cup and any burger event. Always been dodgy Sneaky Ruskis Russia operated a state-sponsored doping programme for four years across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports, claims a new report. It was "planned and operated" from late 2011 - including the build-up to London 2012 - and continued through the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics until August 2015. An investigation commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) says Russia's sports ministry "directed, controlled and oversaw" manipulation of urine samples provided by its athletes. It says Russian athletes benefited from what the report called the "Disappearing Positive Methodology", whereby positive doping samples would go missing. International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach described the commission's findings as a "shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games" and pledged to enforce the "toughest sanctions available" against those implicated.
  8. Is there a squad limit in championship? Can't see the rule anywhere... If not, no point paying off players even if we don't want them here...
  9. We all knew getting rid of the shit would be the hardest
  10. Didn't know as never watch it...
  11. Eh? Why will it? He could go out on loan and have a stormer and someone pays more to obtain him (see Alderweideld at Southampton)
  12. So Thor just started on 4, have to say the Frost Giant's look very similar to the Night King farm GOT.. Wonder where HBO got their ideas from... On a side note just watched Lion King, for the first time in ages. Whether you like animation or not, you can't deny that it is a truly amazing film.
  13. Whilst we have no idea how successful he will be, I do love his engagement with the fans and his seemingly genuine interest to do well.
  14. Good beer , but always gives you a headache the next day.
  15. No big loss... Hopefully he plays well for Marseille, and Psg buy him next summer for 15m
  16. Please tell me he wasn't on corner duty though?
  17. I'd put them as favourites at the moment. Pep doesn't know the league and has got to buy a lot more players, Arsenal are arsenal, still haven't got a striker. Spurs are Spurs.. Chelsea could be up there but again Conte doesn't know the league, and I think Leicester will fall down..
  18. Yet he got an assist today so his crossing can't be that bad.
  19. So it seems so far that RDM is favouring a 4231 formation. I think the spine of that will be the new players: Gollini Hutton Elphick Toner/Okore Amavi Tshibola Gardner Adama Grealish Green Ayew Doesn't look too bad to me. It means that we wo t be playing too many of the losers from last season and hopefully the newer guys bring a winning mentality to the team. The youth players can then come in to help out the squad out. Obviously, if we could get a top championship midfielder and goal scorer it would be better but I'm not too disappointed so far. As long as we don't see Lescott, Guzan and Bacuna I'm happy.
  20. The other day it was you wouldn't look out of place as a player... Now you're a top manager?
  21. I'm putting it out there he'll be our player of the year this season.. front four of: Adama (if ever fit) Grealish Green Ayew with Gestede/Hepburn-Murphy and another (hopefully a good signing), will create and score plenty in this league. We'll still need other options but it's a good start.
  22. James Richardson now presenting britains strongest man.. What a waste..
  23. Wasn't that half the bench of the Telford game? Whos johansson?
  24. Anything over 200 and England won't chase it.
