A huge decision and one of the most important Fosun will make is who will be the next Chairman/CEO and run the club on a day-to-day basis. This decision is huge and has to be right.
Press conference at 12 noon, so I guess we will get a lot of answers to the many questions to be asked.
Firstly the managers job.
Second, transfers incoming and outgoing.

Announced on BBC five Live that Fosun have brought Wolves for £45m.
We look forward to the press conference and to all the changes in the next week or so.

Link denied by Moxey to prospective new owner Chinese billionaire Robin Li who will appoint a new head coach, Julen Lopetegui which has been reported in two Spanish papers.
AS say however that while there is an offer from Wolves to Lopetegui nothing has as yet been signed and the approach is coming from potential new owners of the club, led by Chinese businessman Robin Li, who is also involved with attempts to take over Milan.
There could be exciting times ahead if this is true.

don't shoot the messenger, but a friend of mine who works for one of the big sunday papers has said there'll be a story this weekend breaking the news that luis figo is in line to take over as wolves coach by the end of august.
apparently following a failed attempt at gaining a FIFA position figo completed coaching badges and has been speaking with mendes, or an associate of mendes, about taking a first job somewhere out of the media spotlight of spain or portugal.
not sure if this is a good move for the club, in terms of his lack of experience, but it certainly puts us right there in terms of top profile signings. if figo is half the coach that he was a player, he could take the championship by storm!

I guess it's a case of watch this space then gb. It wouldn't surprise me tho', considering the "clout" this guy Mendes has at the moment.

Mendes is going to take our money and run, without any regard for how we do.
Will we ride this wave to the promised land or will we wipeout whilst becoming Portugals B team?

Portugal's B team is still better than last year's wolves side...

Now that would make people sit up and take notice.

That would certainly be high profile and capture even more interest. Doesn't of course follow because he was a world class player that he would make a good manager, but we would just have to hope

Pelé is said to be signing on a permanent transfer. According to O Jogo, the deal is done, and the Wolves will pay €2m for the 24-year-old .
There’s now one more name included in the list, which is João Teixeira. This is not the former Liverpool midfielder, who’s currently at Porto. This is another young player who spent the last season at Benfica B and now is moving out of the club. A Bola says he’s following Talisca, Pelé and Helder Costa to the English club.
Just C and P'd this from sports witness site.

It will be interesting to see what the teamedia will be against Rotherham.

Problem we've had before with overseas players is that they do take time to settle in to a new environment. Hopefully they're fit and can hit the ground running, so to speak.

If we bring in 7 then they'll settle together
