🚨#Wolves João Gomes – determined for Atlético! 📌 Despite higher financial offers from Zenit, Leeds, Atalanta and Galatasaray, the 25‑year‑old midfielder has made it clear he wants Atlético Madrid. 💰 Wolves’ asking price was cited at €40M in April; a verbal agreement around €45M is now close.

We’re proud to announce @Compton_Care as the main charity partner for our 150 Year Anniversary Shirt. 🧡🐺 60% of the net proceeds will be donated to Compton Care (registered charity number 512357). Our club, our city, our history. Designed by fans, for fans. #wwfc

We discuss the overhaul of the Wolves squad required in the summer in our latest pod. Who should stay & who they think could be moving on!! #wwfc podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/hal…

🚨🆕 #BVB Fábio Silva considering his future at Borussia Dortmund. 🔸 Situation → Possible continuity of Serhou Guirassy & BVB’s playing style not fully suiting Silva. 📑 Outcome → Factors could push towards a summer departure.

Fair play to the @Wolves hierarchy for fronting up to straight-talking/fed up/angry supporters at a @sportbbcwm forum last night (link below just published). It's been an abysmal season (or a few) for the paying/travelling fans who asked some very forthright questions.

* New exec chairman Nathan Shi sounds like a real upgrade on his predecessor/namesake Jeff in terms of personality, understanding of the job and ability to communicate. The fact he clearly has a sense of humour will stand him in good stead in those parts. 

* Technical director Matt Jackson spoke well on the club's mistakes and what needs to be done going forward. Didn’t sugar coat errors made by the club - acknowledged them (explained some) and vowed to rectify them. Plenty of humility on display while explaining his own credentials (he captained Wigan to promotion to the PL, worked his way up after playing career, was president of Grasshoppers in Switzerland). Said the club had previously lacked alignment but now the ownership, coach and recruitment dept are working closely together which is “vital”. * Manager Rob Edwards sounded emotional and bruised by his experience (Wolves fans have been giving him stick of late for both performances and results). He reiterated his passion for the club, the job: “I’d have come here even if they were in non-league”, he defended himself at times. Explained where it went wrong at Luton and why double-relegation won’t happen here. Spoke of his steadfast determination to get it right next season, which is the job he was brought in to do. Says this group of players are simply are not good enough but are mostly maxing out on effort. The season clearly cannot end quickly enough for him as he wants most of these players to go and is desperate to bring in the new recruits they've already earmarked/lined up. Wants to be judged on managing players recruited who actually want to be at the club and are the right profile for securing promotion. He wants the team to be an attacking force, scoring plenty of goals, etc.
 Overall takeaways: “We've made some bad mistakes. We've learned from them. We're sorry for what the supporters have had to put up with. Now judge us on next season when we put those learnings into practice. We’re targeting automatic promotion next season, after recruiting leaders and talented players with the right mentality - and we really need your support.”

Many fans still sceptical about words/action so they agreed to conduct another forum later in the year when they’ll review how their plans have played out. Side note: Shi sounded positive about bringing back the Liquidator motivational pre-match anthem. Seems a no-brainer. Fans/kids will hear that bad language throughout the game regardless. At least generate a cauldron before kick-off for the players and fans to set the fiery tempo for the match and season ahead 🔥 🏟️. They’ll need everyone pulling in the same direction for the first time since Fosun/Nuno won Championship promotion (2018) and reached the Europa League QFs in 2020.

‘Out of darkness cometh light’. Four lifelong Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have created an iconic commemorative shirt to celebrate Wolves’ 150th anniversary. “It hasn’t been easy watching things unfold over the last few seasons, and fans have every right to feel how they feel,” one of the four, Kieran Newey, says. “But supporting Wolves isn’t something you pick up and drop - it’s part of who you are. This is our way of reminding people what that support is really about. Our club, our city, our history; that’s what matters, and that’s what we’re backing.” Profits from the shirt go to Compton Care, a local charity which offers specialist palliative care and bereavement support, and funding future displays and flags by @oldgoldpack. #wwfc. more details oldgoldpack.co.uk/150th-annivers…

@BG__85 @DannyRosamond I don't think they had an easy ride at all, some of it made me squirm in my seat.

@DannyRosamond That was well strange of him. Let me know your thoughts on it. I don't think the fans held back much. Some other questions could have been asked but they ran out of time with loads still wanting to ask things

Listening to the forum from last night. Due to Fosuns last few years, Nathan doesn't have an inch of my trust yet but definitely comes across much better than Edwards and Jackson. Jackson picking an argument about the players having pride was just weird.

Eight key talking points from last night's Wolves fans' forum, with plenty of interesting topics covered. More to come in terms of quotes from the hierarchy. #wwfc expressandstar.com/sport/football…

Big day looming in the EFL Championship on Friday when clubs will vote on the implementation of Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) rules for next season. SCR will cap spending at 85% of revenue and replace PSR if approved. Will need 16 of the 24 clubs to vote in favour

BBC Radio WM has hosted an exclusive fan forum - giving Wolves fans the chance to quiz Rob Edwards, Nathan Shi and Matt Jackson. It lands on the Wolverhampton Wanderers page on BBC Sounds from 1pm - bbc.in/4d3jr6U Highlights this evening from 6pm on BBC Radio WM 📻

I've been one to question fan engagement meetings before but tonight was a good open forum where people could ask what they wanted. Nathan came across a lot better than Jeff but only time will tell with actions put in place. Cynic in me is still very cautious but we'll see....

🤣

Gary is at it again.

@wwfcrhys Matt Jackson said some signings were already lined up.

Window hasn’t even opened yet and they’re already telling us to wait till the end of the window. Any club worth their salt gets recruitment done before pre season

Although some guy suggested we should be looking at spending around £200m this Summer !

@WV14Wolves They were, believe me. Some of the questions made you go "ouch".

From what I’ve read it’s classic bullshit and gaslighting from the three stooges on stage and no real searching questions to put them on the spot were asked. Shouldn’t be questions about the kit colour or the liquidator…should’ve been more emotive and hard hitting
