Honestly pig sick at how good they are this year. Where's all this money coming from? Is it just the end of their previous premier league payments because let's be honest, they'd be a solid premier side if they came up, and at this rate it's looking incredibly likely. Saying things like we are heading towards going bust too on their forums, wishful thinking!

[east-stand-nick]

Can't say I care about them to be honest. Still irrelevant. Would "prefer" them to get promoted than Villa anyway.

[DaveWBA]

Fair play to them, they're a decent side in that league. With the quality they've brought in they should be expecting nothing less than a top two finish. With a similar model of recruitment should they be promoted then they should have no problems keeping their heads above water in the PL if the standard this season is anything to go by.

Just hope and pray the V*lla don't make it back up, as the song goes... you're a dirty V*lla bugger and you'll never be my friend.

Wolves fans were singing that they are coming for us. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Loffin,someone tell them its far easier knocking over the Brentford's and the Bolton's of football

In fairness they are.

They are only coming for us if we actually stay up so we might get away with it

Good plan.

What's Pepe Mel doing these days?

The problem Wolves will face is that 3 or 4 of their regular starting line up are loan players who may not be there next season IF they get promoted. Bony, Jota, Bonatini and N'Daiye are all loans.

Also chances are players like Costa, Neves and Cavaleiro will be sought by more established clubs in the Pl or from clubs in Europe (who may offer the chance of Champions or Europa league football).

You can rest assured that as they're all clients of Mendes they will make any of those loans permanent. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of them done in January as they did with Costa last year.

Surely FFP comes into play with these lot.  I reckon they HAVE to get promoted this year.

Well it was reported a couple of months ago that this was their make-or-break season.

[WoysWunderful]

Yeah if they flop it this year they are up the bonk without a paddle

[WBAinDEVON]

with their wealth and the way they play football at the moment their time as come. they will be massive in the coming years sorry to say

Agree, they are looking very good at present. They easily disposed of Leeds the other evening who themselves will hope to be in the mix come May.
They have one of the richest owners in english football, as much as it pains me they are going to become a real force.

Am I missing something here? Hasn't the Chinese govt restricted how much money can leave their country recently as regards Chinese owned football clubs overseas

Second to Man City in terms of Wealth who probably have money in bank accounts all over the world and not just china. fosun are massive. JP sold our club to a chineese gardener

[Albion79]

I could be wrong but arent Fosun an investment group? (similar to our owners just a lot lot bigger)

They are different to a Man City, Chelsea and a few others in that they will expect to make money on their investment, as for Mendes he is the same, Wolves is a shop window for his players, if they do well then but Wolves dont then he will make money selling them on, its a win win for him personally.

Also worth noting it took Man City a good few years from when they got taken over to actually winning something, they were also starting in a lot higher place than Wolves before the takeover in that they were already a established premier league club (something Wolves havent ever really been) and had some good players already there.

Also worth noting with exception of one year when they got to the Semi Final of the Champions League they have got nowhere in it after several years so dont really see Barca and Real panicking too much about the Dingles just yet, its usually the same clubs involved in the latter stages.

Man City are also a ten times bigger club than Wolves anyway (as they are us) and a lot more appealing location, name, history, etc and i use Man City as a comparison because some Wolves fans i know said they are the next Man City, this was said after they blew the mighty Reading away.

We have been here before with them, when Sir Jack was owner they were going to be the next Blackburn, it didnt happen. When they went up in the playoffs they were there to stay, it didnt happen and they havent troubled the top flight since the season they were tore a new one at the Custard Bowl by us.

I have said previous they are going well, playing entertaining stuff and the fans are excited, good luck to them, but the c**k waving didnt seem to happen when they lost the mighty Cardiff City, Sheffield United and QPR! Its not even Xmas and people seem to think they are promoted already, wait til xmas and when teams work out when you rough them up you get joy which usually happens when you play the reverse fixture.

They have a new era/new start every couple of years and get carried away, if they are still there come start February then thats when you take them serious and if they do come up, see how they do then.

On a side note, i hope they do come up and i hope Villa do, its a lot more interesting with local derbies each season.

And you were doing do well, only to fall at the final hurdle.

Fiddlesticks and fudge to the pair of them.
