We will definitely do that, our time in the wilderness will sadly be much longer ☹️ Very good Geoff - even first thing on a Monday. Fair play to the bloke above who thought the thread was about a film review. "Wolves in the Wilderness" really does sound like one of those tundra documentaries that seem these days to clutter up the TV schedules. *Earnest, slightly breathless, sub-standard Attenborough voiceover*: "The prospects for this struggling football club are bleak. Unless its senior team can find a way to score goals and in particular to start signing players who give a ****. And quickly. Then it could be decades of anonymity, frustration and disappointment. Scores, if not hundreds, of its followers (many on the Oatcake) may not survive the chill, barren, nuclear winter. Some may be forced to contemplate the ultimate sacrifice - by ****** off up the Vale". Excellent composition Max ever thought of writing a book?

Good luck to them. They have ambition, whereas we tightened the reins when we should have been kicking on.

I can’t wait for the day the owners get bored of their plaything and just piss off to the next billionaire fad.
They’ll plummet like an anvil being dropped of a mountain.
Yam yam twats, bollocks to them.

Hopefully the bubble bursts and bursts big. I'd love nothing more than that club to go under.

Never liked the fuckers from the late 70's. Went their place when i was 16 when there was really no separation in the South Bank, fighting back and forth throughout the game. We decided to leave 10 mins from the end before it kicked off big time, got outside the ground, some inbred fucker had his hand around my neck and fist ready to punch me in the face with about 20 chav's of his day behind him, those with me legged it(bunch of cunts and not the usual lads i went away with) , so it was give them my scarf(my older brothers scarf he never knew i'd took with me) or have the shit kicked out of me. So where the Whieldon bus was parked up to take us to Uttoxter i see this fucker with a Wolves hat on and chased the fucker down and nicked his hat, somE old twat on the bus who knew me Dad(A Derby fan) saw what happened, told me Dad and me Dad tried stopping me from going away games, Well done on the hat

True but it always helps being funded by Chinese multi billionaires. Quick search says they're worth £60bn, that's gotta dwarf the Coates's. Agree that. But they haven’t exactly spent mega bucks have they ? They have spent mega bucks and for a good few years. They were spending like a top 10 Premier League club when they were in the bottom half of the Championship. £13m on a young lad from Benfica (Costa), they were getting linked with players from the likes of Inter that made Premier League Stoke’s transfer clout look feeble and spent £15.8m for a player from Porto (Neves). Their wage bill probably rivalled ours. They also had the outstanding keeper in the Championship with the most clean sheets, Ruddy. A good Premier League quality first choice for anybody but spent £16.2m on a new keeper when they came up, which I think surpasses our transfer clout. We’ve spent that kind of money but don’t think we would ever have on another keeper.

Wolves might have ended up spending £16m on another keeper but they thought they were getting a world class keeper for free (due to his previous club being in breach of contract) right up to the point where they were ordered to pay the £16m.

I hate to say it but even their kit looked bright, no longer that hideous vomit orange, when did they change the colour? The kit is yellow. End of. I thought that when we played them in the pre-season game. Personally I couldn't give two hoots about another team's kit, but I did think it was a bit crap that they marked their return to the big time by ditching a unique colour (old gold / burnt orange or whatever), for - well, just "yellow".

It sure is yellow on close inspection, had the misfortune of passing a Wolves fan wearing one recently.. Adidas clearly given them a colour that's cheaper to produce. They do actually look more of an orange colour once the sweat starts to blend in to the material!

Wasn't so long ago they had Walter Zenga as manager and bought pretty much a new team. Things can change very quickly in football as we know for better or worse. Nuno Espirito Santo will not have gone under the radar of bigger clubs of late as built a tidy side.
