As the comments on Ben’s minutes gradually slide downhill from witty pertinence – mine of course lol – through slight irrelevance, to downright ridiculous – I’ll leave you to decide whose contributions fit the last two descriptions – the shouts have got louder.
This last thread has celebrated its month long vigil on the Wolves Blog and seen:- us out of Europe, my pond officially opened by the Twixfixes, a fat tart headlining Glastonbury (not Mr Moxey), nice Mr Cameron resigning, Little Jimmy Krankie threatening another referendum, half the shadow cabinet throwing their toys out of the pram and Jeremy Corbyn… well… doing absolutely bugger all as always.
We desperately need ‘Something Wolves’ to talk about and pick apart.
The trouble is, pretty much the same as with most close seasons or transfer windows, there’s NOTHING happening.
We’re linked with this player and have shown interest in that player and we’re having trouble getting a work permit for the other. We’re being bought by this multi gazillionaire and that ex rock star is interested in having his two pennyworth.
Yawn!
Give us a break!!
Or rather don’t give us a break, give us something to talk about, something to look forward to, something to give us hope that next season isn’t going to be a Groundhog Day of this last one.
I was on the blower to Scooped the other evening, and I said to him that we needed a new blog and he replied that Thomas and Ben were up to their necks in work and until there’s some concrete news about the Club they can’t afford the time to come up with an idea for one just for the sake of it.
I understand where they are coming from.
He also said “You want a new blog, why not write one yourself?”. That’s not an exact quote, I’ve left out a few expletives.
So I had a think and tried to come up with a few ideas.
How about picking eleven ex Wolves players who are representing their countries in the Euros and seeing if they would beat the present team?
I started off with Hennessy, Vokes, Ward, Edwards, Keane, then then I thought “Well, Edwards is already part of our team, how can he play against himself?” Then I got bored and wandered off to look at my lovely pond.
Then I thought of what’s the worst form of torture we could all come up with for certain portly CEOs.
But I guess it’s obvious. Having to watch the Wolves next season if we don’t get some new players.
In the end, I knocked it on the head.
But I think Scooped was right.
It’s not easy coming up with ideas for new blogs.
If you lot want a new thread, one of you come up with an idea!
Never mind being number three hundred and wotsit, there’s only one number one post……ME!!!
You sad bastard!
And jez moxey could be a number 2 I think
I also think wolves could beat England . What a load of shit !
Yaki da boyo s
How about what we (truly) think our situation will be at the end of this coming season and who’s there owners,players,and manager..
The best way and the worst way..
So me..
I really really think that to sell the club will be more of a dream because of Moxeys historical success so far..
But best way
Club not sold
Williamson holds the defence we stop conceding and K Mac comes into favor Dicko becomes the leading scorer and Jordan Graham plays blinders after Xmas.
We make the play offs and get to wembly whether we win or not..
Hull and Derby auto promotion..
Ken Jacket is replaced mid season for football reasons and our new manager creates a continuous attacking team that is destined for
the PL..Morgan still has club up for sale but unsure what to do..
Worst way
No players to speak of bought in hoping that ‘the buyer’ materialises..
He does not.
Williamson gets injured again Danny Bart and EEB start to concede Dicko is not fed tactically and Jordan Graham comes too late in the season..KJ does his usual and us lot are raving as we head for relegation and just survive..
This one is a realistic nightmare..
I’ll go for the best way then.
COYW
Come on, the fact that Williamson and Dicko are back from injury is………………..
Like we have two new signings.
We could be reaping fruits of the new potential ownership already:
“Speculation in Spain has linked Chinese billionaire Robin Li with a takeover of the club, suggesting he will install Spanish ex-Porto boss Julen Lopetegui in place of Kenny Jackett.”
Hijacking Spain’s national team from signing him up – that shows a lot of ambition. If the players he pursuits is of the same calibre, we’ll be fighting for a place in the European cup in no time.
Up the Wolves
FA interview board , 4 years ago.
“Well Roy who have you managed before”
Reply, “I currently manage West Bromwich Albion”
FA, Oh perfect your’e hired when can you start”?
As Roy leaves the room,
FA Chairman turns to his colleagues and say’s, “Who the fuck are this West Bromwich Albion”? “Are they in one of our leagues”?
Is that him thumbing for a lift?
A couple is going through a divorce, and custody of the son comes into question.
The father presents evidence that the wife hits the poor boy whenever he misbehaves in the slightest. The mother reveals evidence that the father would get belligerently drunk and use his belt on the boy.
The Judge suggests letting the boy live with his grandfather, but it turns out that almost everyone in this twisted family has a history of domestic violence. Not wanting to subject the poor boy to a life of physical punishment, the court decided to take a recess to brainstorm what to do with the son. The court eventually comes to a historic and unprecedented conclusion:
The boy would be in custody of the England national football team because they’re incapable of beating anyone.
Oh for a manager of the annoyingly charismatic inspiring Eddie jones , I think he could turn both wolves and England football around in his spare time ! And at least his interviews wouldnt send you to sleep like mr beige
An Englishman , an Irishman and a Scotsman go into a bar
To watch Wales in the quarter finals !!
Hoddle is now the early favourite !!! Oh dear. Will we ever learn
Re my post please replace Hull with Newcastle lol forgot they scraped it..
Thanks to Doog for an ‘open house’ so here is a side view and a personal take.
With things all looking stultifyingly the
same perhaps the advent of the season will at least provide some new data. With the only teams clearly worse than us last season having been relegated, with the clubs coming down and the new managerial appointments made it could well be a lot tougher.
One aspect that interests me at the moment is why so many fans would still vote Remain rather than Jackxit.
Reading the blog has given me a few pet theories other than the obvious one that he did well for 2 seasons.
There are a lot of fans out there that just like the humourless little fella – the ‘kuddly Ken’ factor. Even some fans prone to serious analysis just come out with weekly apologetics.
In unwitting alliance with these perhaps are the fans who think the only Answer to the Question of Life the Universe and Everything is a Bucket load of Marquee signings.
Then again there are those now that dont seem to care too much who the manager is – perhaps years of campaigning for the removal of Mad Mick has just left them too emotionally drained.
Anyway a new season beckons bring it on.
For all of you who are looking for a new leader to inspire and drag us back to greatness after what we’ve all been through during the last couple of weeks, I think I’ve found her.

It’s a ‘Partly Political Broadcast on behalf of the Yam Yam Party’ and should be watched by all!
This is interesting, or not, but strange.
Reports across Spain say Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers will appoint Julen Lopetegui as their new Coach.
http://www.football-espana.net/59320/report-wolves-lopetegui-approach?
Moxey will fit in well with the Spanish practices.
So, he was on the bench and sacked before the season ended.
Seems he will fit right in then!!!
Tim Spiers say’s theres no substance to it so it should be a dead cert to happen.
DOOGooder …. I’m absolutely over the moon to have been ranked 2nd in importance only just missing out to Brexit by a whisper..
I was enormously honoured, and Mrs Twixfix to be asked to perform the grand opening ceremony of MLP (My Lovely Pond)…. when I said … ” I name this pond” ….. A lump came in my throat (not my shorts) that I/we felt we have that special relationship.
On the other hand it was lovely to give Sue a sneaky hiphug while you were down the garden lining up the shot.
Great blog mate …. Especially choosing Brompton wolf as your lead photo…. You’re very clever…. Hope to see you soon ….currently in France ..so I’ll look out for some nice Red for you ..
Best wishes
The England footballers may as well have parked in the short-stay car park before they flew to France. What a bunch of tossers.
And by the way, please delete that picture of Chalkie the Cheat.
This is a family show.
That’s Brompton Wolf’s photo mate. Never met the guy, I am better looking.
Deluded.
Best word to describe you.
Brompto Wolf is far better looking than you, Chalkie, even though he still lives in a tent by the side of the M62.
And, my mate Brompto would never stoop to cheating, or self aggrandizement, or buying a round.
When I first saw the picture of The PL Winner ….the caption I thought of was ….”It’s Get your TITS out for the lads time !! ….just as well he kept his top on……lol
I think a good topic would be to compare and contrast the relative merits of the jellyfish v the domestic cat. Whilst the jellyfish lives in the sea, the cat lives in a house. A jellyfish snares food in its umbrella. The cat probably eats winalot. The jellyfish has no chance of being run over by a lorry but the domestic cat is at risk. These are just some of the things to consider.
Cheeseburger, I think you have opened a new can of whiskas here.
They are both in danger of being stepped on but probably only the jellyfish would be submerged in water.
Unless you are trying to drown a kitten and accidentally kick the bucket.
I think somethings happening with a takeover
We told you so and we said be patient, middle of July, so we’ve waited this long another week or so will be cool. Still time to snatch Neymar from United.
Moxey has gone Public today and made a statement saying absolutely Nothing, so he’s not denying anything, obviously the Spanish press have let the cat out of the bag.
God bless Tim Spiers, late for his own circumcision, (I suppose that’s a good thing really)
So let’s all settle down and talk Jellyfish and pussycats. See what I did there . After all it is a family blog.
Cheesy
Thank Funk your’e back to add a bit of stability to the blog, that Clive from Hastings is quite mad.
Looks like Spanish omelette and special fried rice on the menu next season at the Mol. Oh, and with chopsticks.
Moxey has put out a statement to say that he has nothing to say! God, should have been a politician. Tim Spiers hasn’t even caught up with the EU referendum result yet. It was OUT, Tim, just like Kenny will be out. Do keep up Tim. Never mind Tim, you can still play golf with Moxey as Fatty Chops Jez is going nowhere. He’s more Chinese-looking than Michael McIntyre and much funnier.
I wonder if JM has sanctioned this particular take over bid because of a typing error.
He thinks it’s an instruction not the name of the prospective buyer.
Robin Li…… Robin Lie….. Rob and lie.
See what I did there?
Maybe if Aladdin rubs his magic lamp and comes to our rescue, both Moxey and Jackett will be kept on.
Widow Twanky and Wishy Washy.
Some crazy stuff being bandied about. This one ticks all my boxes, but then again, I’m easy pleased, the next text down said, Kenny knows the deal, if there’s a takeover he’s gone if it falls through he’s staying.
We dare to dream…….

I have heard some mental stuff . They want to build a out of town asda . For more land at the mol to build state of the ground . Tie up with European team poss milan like at Watford with udinese. No transfer budgets if the coach wants him all out to get him . All sounds surreal at wolves . There is no less that 5 players waiting on sale to go through before signing with anyone after being sounded out. Jez will be here for a 24month transitional period . News owners keen to make wholesale changes to all levels of hierarchy

Quotes from Sky Sports Spanish reporter Guillem Balague, who’s usually really well informed on stuff like this.
“What an exciting prospect for @julenlopetegui to coach @OfficialWolves! It should be all confirmed sometime next week if all agreed”
“For those of u who are asking about @julenlopetegui: a coach that likes to dominate, but want his teams to control all phases/ styles”
“His teams are aggressive, likes to pressure high, want the ball but can counter. Young, ambitious and was touted to be national coach”
My God reasons for optimism?!
Until its all done and dusted, I’ll plump for the jellyfish to be our new coach.
My Cod, eel be better than that clown fish we have now, floundering around out of his depth.
We might sign Deli Ali, but I doubt it. ( that was a clever one)
Salmon once told me not to carp on too long, whiting these puns, from my perch, coz they are sick of herring them.
So I will desist, before a grouper you decide to plaice me on a pike, after which I would require the services of a sturgeon, ‘pon my sole!
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a
Thats off the scale!!!!
Gonna be a K-Jexit ?
What sort of fish is that
A fucking Flounder
Thanks for the clarification stu .. The tench on was killing me
Bobby Charlton was asked how he thought the England team of ’66 would have fared against Iceland. ” I think we’d have won 1-0 ” he replied. “Only 1-0?” Said the reporter. “Yes,” said Bobby. “Most of us are in our 70’s now!” ?
Gorra loff at Jacketts quote in the E and S….”The board haven’t been in contact with me about the rumours”
KJ I’ve got some news ….that slimey fat bastard will only be giving you your P45 mate and offering you a big thank you. He’s as cold as an Icelandic fishermans bollocks……If you think for one nanosecond that kind Mr Moxey will keep you fully informed of developments ….you’re cracked up.!!
Great stuff Mark.
And you win a prize for being the first person to ever do something I suggested!
Sorry I didn’t spot it sooner but, like one of my late tackles years ago, I got there as soon as I could!
And, before Ben & Thomas kick my head in, I record all my telephone conversations!!!
Hope your juices are flowing at the prospect of new owners but plump up plenty of cushions in case all our hopes come crashing down around us.
