Fans react after Wolves CEO Nathan Shi makes admission following Premier League relegation

Fans react after Wolves CEO Nathan Shi makes an admission in a statement following Premier League relegation on Monday night.

The club’s eight-year stay in the top flight has come to an end, relegated to the Championship for the first time since 2018.

Rob Edwards’ side lost 3-0 away to Leeds on Saturday, that result, with 17th-placed West Ham drawing goalless with Crystal Palace last night meaning Wolves can no longer move out of the bottom three.

Shi said: “A message to supporters from Nathan Shi after the club’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed this evening.

“Confirmation of our relegation is a difficult moment for everyone connected to Wolves. While this is a deeply disappointing outcome, work has been underway since my arrival in December to ensure we are ready to respond with clarity and conviction.

“We are clear on what needs to improve, and our focus is now on strengthening the club, building momentum and creating a team our supporters can believe in. We know what is required and will approach the months ahead with purpose.

“We know this season has tested your loyalty and patience. Your backing, home and away, has not been taken for granted. You deserve better and giving you a club you can genuinely be proud of is what drives everything we do from this point forward.”

When asked about Wolves’ relegation, having been the manager to guide them into the Premier League back in 2018, West ham boss Nuno said: “I feel for them, I wish them all the best, they are a giant club and for sure they will go back to good days”

Meanwhile, as per The Athletic, Wolves are hoping some key players to stay for next season, including the likes of Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, Toti Gomes, Hugo Bueno, Pedro Lima, Rodrigo Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matheus Mane.

Wolves believe they have a realistic chance of keeping each of them, but are equally aware they might receive offers for any of these players that are tough to turn down

Tommy Doyle, Boubacar Traore and Sasa Kalajdzic are all expected back for pre-season also.

However, Liam Keen of Express & Star reported this week: “Tolu Arokodare is likely to leave Wolves this summer after the striker was the sole aggressor in a dressing room bust-up with Mateus Mane after the West Ham defeat.’

He added: “Interest growing in Ladislav Krejci this summer with a move away from Wolves possible. Leeds showing strong interest.”
🗣️Talks under way with intermediaries

Manager Rob Edwards spoke to the club media after defeat to Leeds. On conceding twice in two minutes: “It’s not the first time it’s happened. It happened to us last week. We didn’t want to go 1-0 down, and we can break that goal down, because there’s lots of things we’re not happy with, but to concede in the way we did immediately after, after it happened last week, is so frustrating.

“We won the ball back, we gave it away straight away, we don’t go and close down quick enough on the opposite side, and we don’t defend well enough, then the who place goes through the roof.

“But to be fair to the players, we carried on going, we pushed, we reorganised, and with the overall performance, there wasn’t much in the game, but in those big moments, they were better than us.”

On fighting to get back into the game: “I thought we were applying real pressure. We were pressing well, Darlow has made a massive and brilliant save, Rodrigo has had a great opportunity when he was through one-on-one, we had the offside goal, and we were pushing. But we couldn’t find it.

“The third one was the final nail in the coffin. It wasn’t a penalty. I’ve looked at it back, probably from every angle, and Hugo’s got across and won the ball. I don’t understand why it wasn’t overturned, and at 3-0, it looked a lot worse.

“At 2-0, you still don’t know, but I’m standing here moaning about a third goal we conceded, so it’s frustrating.”

On being on the brink of relegation: “We know the situation and how difficult it is. We’ve known for a long, long time, but it doesn’t change what we’re doing.

“First of all, we have to stick together. There’s five more Premier League matches to go and it’s up to us to try and find some results, because ultimately that’s what we want. And if we can do that, it’s going to reflect better on us as a club and as individuals

“Our mentality can’t change. The lads are fighting and they’ve been punished in the last two games with some errors, and within one minute in both matches has completely changed the game.”

On a season of disappointment: “The big moments are what have gone against us. I get the frustration and the anger today, because it has been a really hard season for everybody.

“I complete understand that, but there’s not an attitude problem from the group, there’s not a lack of will or desire or running, but we are making and have made too many errors. At this level, but it doesn’t matter at any level, you can’t do that.”

Fans react after Wolves CEO Nathan Shi makes an admission following Premier League relegation…

@_KKWWFC:
“Your backing…has not been taken for granted”
Don’t piss on our heads and say it’s rain, lads

@wwfcjoe1408: Fuck off, if you care about the fans you would cap season tickets at £500 and give further discount for season ticket holders who have had to endure this fucking awful season for £835. But you won’t, you will charge us more than anyone else in the championship #wwfc

@wolvesbradders: Actions speak louder than words. We’ve heard enough words about lessons being learned. Soft touch PR videos with journalists, bigging up the worst transfer window imaginable. Stop the gaslighting. Biggest summer the club has ever had. Don’t screw it up!!

@DannyRosamond: Mistakes weren’t made, managed decline took place. Absolute crooks. None more so than Jeff. You can respectfully keep your statements, buzz words, and apologies until actions take place to show this isn’t another load of bollocks.

@davewolvesfc: Too little too late we’ve heard it all before fosun all of you should hang your heads in shame. If you genuinely care about the club & more importantly the fan’s… Sell the Club to someone who really cares. Good riddance

@Cookmtt1976: Fosun deserve some praise for delivering the best Wolves team in my lifetime but they also deserve huge criticism for taking that team to one of the worse prem teams ever, 8 years in the prem getting weaker every year. Huge summer ahead but not sure I have complete faith. #wwfc

@cmonmebabbies: Nice words, but your (Fosun) actions are what have landed us here, near criminally trading down on players to a squad barely capable of competing in the championship now. You need to react to the inevitable scepticism as you did when you bought our club & spend. Or go. #wwfc

@MattWolf_117: 7 years ago we got the wolves logo turning into the Europa league logo… today we get whatever bullshit this is!!! You can fuck off with your hollow words when your actions are none existent, you’re all an absolute fucking disgrace and it’s time to fuck off now 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

@BG__85: We’re never reaching the heights that we were at. We’re not signing a Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota in the Championship again. We reached a Europa League Quarter final then sold quality players one after the other. Don’t believe a word any Fosun spokesperson says.

@_TightWadBill: I cannot believe a word of this after 5 years of Fosun absolutely fucking us up the arse. If they knew what is required then we wouldn’t be in this mess.

@jay_wwfc07: Fair play he does say all the right things, but that has to be backed up in the Summer now Nathan
