Have Fosun lost interest?

As declining league positions leave Wolves "circling the drain", there is growing concern within the fanbase that owners Fosun may no longer be fully committed to the club they once promised to transform.

On a special BBC Radio WM discussion, The Wolves Report podcast host Ryan Leister said: "Have Fosun lost interest? It would seem so, unfortunately."

Leister says Wolves have become a self-sustaining brand for Fosun, with commercial benefits outweighing football priorities.

"They've made a lot of money in sales, advertising, promotional stuff, eSports, spinning off left, right and centre.

"Nobody else is making money in the Premier League. Whether the brand stuff balances it out for Fosun, I don't know.

"But they can't afford to lose interest. They're an investment company. So if their asset at the moment is losing value, it is most definitely going to lose value if they end up getting relegated. It's going to be a very expensive mistake if they just let the thing rot, so I do find it difficult to believe that they have written it off.

"As any owner whose taken over, they've got a responsibility. So if you don't want to continue to put your own money in, then you need to let someone else do it.

"Yes, we've had two or three really, really good years, which we're grateful for, but sliding down the table, Wolves fans are now paying for a really expensive product and getting very little in return."

Presenter Daz Hale added: "You can't have a club which is just constantly sliding down the tables, eventually it's going to come back to bite you and unfortunately, it could be this year circling the drain.

"I walk past the Steve Bull Stand and you look at the roof, it's rusty. Wolves talked about redeveloping Molineux, now they can't even be bothered to paint the roof of the Steve Bull Stand. That tells me they have lost interest."

However, Liam Keen, Wolves reporter for the Express & Star, says there is still some interest in Wolves from the club's hierarchy.

"Chairman Guo [Guangchang] does still have a fascination with Wolves," says Keen.

"He watches all the games. He owns all the merchandise. He's been to several matches, even a few this season."
