"(Leicester City Fans) are calling for chief football officer Jon Rudkin to leave and owner Khun" Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha to sell up. "
Similarities between us and foxes-
* Asian owned Midlands clubs
* Once had impressive squad and league position, playing European football.
* After success have had erratic form- both relegated from relative leagues this season
* multiple short-term managers have made fractured squads and impacted wage bills
Do we think we should look at what's happened at Leicester as a series of avoidable mistakes? Or is it a cautionary tale?

Leicester City is definitely a cautionary tale for Wolves. From winning the Prem to third tier league football in 10 seasons. Consecutive relegations this season and last.
Obviously Wolves didn’t win the Prem but we had virtually a “ top six “ squad for 2 seasons and could have improved further until Fosun started their disastrous decisions to sell our top players, starting with Jota in August 2020, and buying inferiority starting with Fabio Silva.
Fosun pursued that “ business model “ for successive seasons directly leading to relegation today. Fosun have no vision for Wolves, no ambition for Wolves. The present squad is abysmal. The table doesn’t lie We are where we deserve to be.
Fosun employed worse and worse managers after Nuno. Disrespecting the fan base and taking us for mugs.
I have no confidence in Fosun to get Wolves promoted. I do believe they could easily get us relegated again next season. We need Fosun to sell asap to owners who have some ambition and a vision for the future and a credible plan to get us back in the Prem plus the necessary funds.
Hijacking this a bit. But surely there are some players from that Leicester squad that we’d want to try and poach?
I’d be all over Fatawu, and maybe snap up one of their more promising young players if we can. Someone like Aluko at RB maybe.
I’d love Fosun to sell, and if it takes more protests fine, I’m in. How about at the last home games of this season?
The similarities are too broad to really serve as a warning. I also wouldn’t considered our form erratic. We pretty consistently got worse every season.
At the same time, there definitely has to be a view of what can we do to make sure we end up more akin to a Leeds than Leicester or Burnley now we are heading down.
