I think Grealish may well go if we don't go up, but if we doo he will stay for a bit to see how far he can get wth us.
He is still pretty young so he can head off in his mid-twenties to win stuff if it doesn't look like happening here.

I think he'll be here next season even if we don't go up but if he is the best player in the division next season, as he should be, and we don't go up again I think 100% he'll move on after that.

Just read this, is it April 1st?...... and Shi, speaking exclusively to the Express & Star, has a vision for a 50,000 all-seater stadium befitting of the team Wolves are looking to build.
"Let's try to get to 50,000 as soon as possible," Shi said.
"Everyone wants to have a big stadium. It's a step by step process and only when we build a strong team and can compete comfortably in the Premier League is the time to expand the stadium.
"Eventually, if we can achieve that, we'll do it of course.

Whoops, some rubbish pasting by me then.

You mean they have downgraded their ambition from a 60,000 seater? The Dingles will be wanting him out.

Fantastic performance, atmosphere, result. More important to us Black Country Villans than that small club from Small Heath.

Delighted Chester scored, after his contribution to the mistakes that led to their equaliser. He has been superb and deserves Player of the Season award.

After all the Mind the Gap, and worse taunts, in recent weeks, victory was all the sweeter. I heard a sizeable group of Norwegian Lions Club members were over for the game.

Reminded me of the famous Norwegian TV commentator's end of match speech/rant, way back when Norway beat England in a World Cup Qualifier, or was it a finals Group match?

Inspired me to do a Villa v Wolves version, with acknowledgement to legendary Norwegian commentator, Bjørge Lillelien RIP. Us Black Country Villans know about the famous history of Wolves, and their struggles towards the end of the 20c, when they came close to folding.
