Youd think so from the outside. But they have some decent players still and, crucially, they have a very good manager so - as long as he can stick it out - I suspect they will be ok. Everton looking far worse I think, Luton will need a miracle and Sheff Utd I just don't think are very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinforlife2 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Out of interest, if a Leicester or Southampton came in with 25m, do you think the club would accept a bid from a club at our level ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Scott and Wolves, FFP. Done a bit more reading (got a free Express and Star account as some of their articles hidden). One line I've seen, 2 + 2=5 maybe is that there is or was an internal miscommunication and the football side are putting in bids that the fiancee side are concerned about due to concerns over FFP. Regarding Scott, the scenario seems to be that even if the £20m bid had been accepted, the Finance Department at Wolves would have intervened to prevent FFP issues.

Sheffield Utd deffo ( can’t believe they went up every time I watched them I struggled to see how they were top six never mind top 2 , thought we battered them at the gate ) Everton bit like Southampton you can’t keep flirting with relegation it gets you in the end , having Dyche as there manager is the only hope they have ( ffp) could be the final nail in there coffin Bournemouth for me Luton’s home form will be critical for there safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's possibly a good metaphor for our entire transfer business. My guess is that the plan is still to bring one or two players in even if Scott stays but, until we know one way or another, the club won't know the budget in order to decide which targets to pursue.

And one is about a player we thought we were going to sell, but then found he was still playing for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Tbh John Percy is a reliable source, especially on Midlands clubs. The bids if they were as reported fell below our expected or required valuation and were rejected. There were fake John Percy tweets of course.

Thete were fake John Percy accounts and a fake Fabrizio Romano but I have little reason to doubt that there were bids and that they were rejected. There were also reports, although I dunno how true of one rejected bid in January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 There were genuine Percy and Crook tweets too re bids (rejected). I thought it would be done and dusted this week…looks like it’ll drag on a while yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 27, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Some joker on Twitter now thinks Wolves are gonna put a loan offer in for Alex.

That isn't much, they never met our valuation so didn't get anywhere, the discussion was over in seconds - hardly warrants 135 pages of discussion Just a shame so many have ran click bait stories on the back of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
