Wolves Chairman Jeff Shi Admits He’s ‘Not an Expert’ as Last-Place Slide Intensifies Fan Unrest

Shi used a rare local radio interview to say the club can withstand relegation.

Overview

  • Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League on two points from 15 matches, have lost eight straight to equal an old club record, and are 13 points from safety.
  • Supporters protested with a 15-minute boycott before the 4-1 home defeat to Manchester United, voicing anger at Fosun’s direction of the club.
  • A summer overhaul sold Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri for a combined £92.5m and saw captain Nelson Semedo depart, while most signings arrived without Premier League experience.
  • In a BBC interview, Shi conceded errors by saying he is “not an expert,” contended that online negativity distorts fan sentiment, and emphasized frequent face-to-face discussions with supporters.
  • Executives said the club can cope financially if relegated, indicated jobs need not be at risk, pledged to maintain Category One Academy status and support for Wolves Women, and expressed continued backing for manager Rob Edwards despite four defeats in four.
