BBC football page. I saw a post on X that said Wolves have become an experiment as to what happens if every single year you sell your best players and replace them with worse ones. "What happens is you slide down the league table and eventually get relegated "It hurts me to say, but we deserve to be where we are because the club is being ran appallingly and the football has not been much better." Sounds familiar.
Do we break the news to them that that experiment has already been done so they needn't have bothered.
Ah, Chinese owners. Take note Gao apologists. I can't think of any successful Chinese owners in the game currently. It was a fad for them a few years ago, but now they all seem to have lost interest.
It's a weird one for me: Yes we've been incredibly bad during the SR tenure, the manager appointments have been horrible. But they do seem to be doing what we've wanted: they spent a considerable amount of money (for the championship) this season on some of the leagues best players. They didn't just buy up and coming players from youth academies. What do people want from the organisation? What's missing? There's clearly rot there, but I wouldn't like to point the finger at Dragan. They took too long to get rid of Martin when he was out of his depth, but this time they're acting faster (it seems to me at least). For me, it looks like they're trying to learn... I'm leaning towards "be careful what you wish for" and would like SR to stay and make this work. They do need to get this managerial appointment bang on though.
My biggest critique of the last window would be them not balancing the squad. We are overflowing in attacking midfield, but have the worst striker set up in the Championship.
Actually it wasn’t really a fad it was a way to get finances out of China, which got shut down very soon after Gao took ownership of Saints. And that was definitely influential regarding his investment into us.
