Happy as we are or take the risk ?

Firstly, I'd be flattered that we were wanted. Then I'd cringe at the opposition from anyone who said they wanted Wolves to stay as they are, yet criticise managers and players who weren't able to progress above that level.

Are we having a dig at someone ?

What makes you think that?

Seriously, some criticise Wolves, (or critique as the USA immigrants say). The club can't compete while the playing field isn't level.

Can't see why Morgan would sell when we're in League One especially as we look to be back on the up. He'd get far more if he got us into the Championship or Prem before selling

The root of all evil.

Agreed Wolfgang.

A massive no from me.

Be keen to hear what those that go very regularly think of it, it's natural that those that attend often have a kind of family bond with the club, would they be happy stood amongst thousands of outsiders a few years down the road?

Millions invested, a state of the art stadium, high profile, on tv, discussed in the media, some of the best players, winning games against decent opposition.

This sound like the Premiership to me. Where we were a few short seasons ago until our current owner forked it up.

If it takes a new owner to get us back there, then it's a thumbs-up from me.

We were happy to be a part of the Greed League for three seasons. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Indeed, listen to the fans of League One clubs - they see us as mega-rich and a part of the reason why 'clubs like theirs' will likely be fighting for one less promotion place.

If we want to compete in the big league then it has to be a yes.

A massive NO vote from me.

It is a risk a massive risk, but where do we want to be,?

I want Wolverhampton Wanderers to be "competing" in the premier league not just making up the numbers or fighting relegation year in year out,I want us in the champions league and signing top players,seeing the old gold and black at the top of the tree again.

I guess the only way to do that is if a mega rich investor comes in,because as it stands there is not a chance in hell we will ever be able to compete in the big league if that doesn't happen.

So, it is a difficult choice to make, both choices have their merits and downfalls, but there is one certainty, its out of "our" hands,we will not have a say in it one way or another.

Its down to Mr Morgan and as he has said he is looking for investment.

Would love it, love it, to see Wolves smashing every club in Europe before crowds of 50,000.

Where have these rumours come from? Looked on-line and in some of the press and can't see anything.

Has anything been formally "announced" on Twitter.

It was rife at the ground yesterday that there were investors meeting with morgan.

Its probably bullocks though.

I'd rather rot in league one than sell the club's soul. I still think Morgan is more than likely to come good.

They've come from here and originally from mm

Its probably all a load of bullocks.

Mr Morgan is a financial lightweight in football club ownership terms. I would like to see him remain but additional outside investment can only be a good thing. Could not however stomach name changes to team or stadium and never a change in team colours.

The key issue if we were taken over by foreign investors would be whether they are looking for a cheap toy or genuinely want and have the resources to make Wolves a force again. It would be great to think we could get back to being one of the top teams in the country by spending sensibly and having a good academy but in reality the only route to the upper end of the Premier League is to be owned by billionaires.

Dj
Couldn't agree more, shame as it is, the simple truth is that the clubs with massive funds will get the best players and leave the rest for the rest. Everton slightly bucking the trend but mostly the PL will be dominated by 4 or 5 wealthy clubs. As a fan I want to see success and progress for my team, if it means some inward investment then I have no problem, as long as the DNA of Wolves FC is not sacrificed.

Keep the name
Keep the ground
Keep the badge
Keep the colours

Invest £1bn in the squad
Invest £100m in the ground
Invest £2bn in the City

This wouldn't be far from the money spent / will be spent by Man City's owners.

Alternatively:

Be frugal, get your best kids from the academy taken by Chelsea and Liverpool, win the square root of sod all, eventually go back down the plug hole as crowds plummet to 12,000 *

Much as you joke, the only real chance without big investment is to develop an academy.

Signing big names is not necessarily the answer, it is about developing a brand of football and bedding it in from youth level onwards.
Barcelona being a great example.

In theory yes cinci,but the big clubs will always come in and poach them if they are good enough once they break into the team.

I don't think that is necessarily true perton, so many of the younger players at the big clubs end up nowhere as they have limited chances.
