Jeff Shi may have finally left his role at Wolves, but putting Nathan Shi in his place is nothing more than a temporary fix.
Given the current position of Wolves at the bottom of the Premier League table, it remains to be seen as to whether Fosun will even bother replacing Jeff Shi until potential relegation.
Many Wolves supporters have put his exit down to the protests, and that does appear to be true, but his clueless comments certainly won’t have painted a good picture to Fosun.
What are your honest thoughts on Jeff Shi after his claim about relegation for Wolves? Let us know below!
Yes. He actually said this…
Shi went back on his praise of the summer transfer window and was caught in a lie about the redevelopment plans for the Steve Bull stand. It is things like these that confirm what fans already suspected of the Fosun chief; he hasn’t got a clue at club level.
And if you thought that was bad, then the information that has come out about Shi since his departure from Wolves will infuriate supporters even more.
Jeff Shi used to prioritise watching Esports over club activities
The true depth of the disconnect suddenly became clear with the recent, damning reports from The Athletic regarding Jeff Shi’s daily priorities.
Anonymous sources have suggested that he sometimes prioritised watching Esports over club activities, which really does say it all.
Why did it take Fosun so long to come to a Jeff Shi realisation?😡
While the squad lacked a recruitment plan and sense of direction, Rob Edwards was left to his own devices to try and make things work.
Under Shi and Fosun, Wolves appear to have been used as a money driver, with things like Esports and brand expansion taking precedent.
The message to Nathan Shi and Fosun is clear
You cannot rebrand your way out of a relegation scrap.
Wolves fans are rightly demanding a leader who looks at a football pitch and sees a community, not a man who just purely looks at the global market.
Shi mentioned the club are now a ‘global force’ and whilst that may be true in terms of Fosun growing in itself, that couldn’t be further from the truth for Wolves.
The Old Gold are on a massive decline that looks set to see them return to the Championship for the first time in seven years.
