Wolves submit 2021 accounts. Day to day losses ⬇️ from £45m to £37m but higher player sale profits of £61m (which count towards FFP) & debt write off from Fosun of £126m (which doesn’t) converts this to profit of £145m #WWFC

1/ I saw my son last night. He plays a PC game called Foxhole with many others in ‘clans’. His clan includes many young people from all over the world, including Russia and Ukraine. Some of the young Russians are conscripts, they thought there was no chance of an invasion…
2/ as they had been kitted out with weapons from the old Cold War era that were old & unreliable. Before the invasion they had taken to foraging for food as army rations had run out. They also had not had proper training from the military…
3/When the invasion started the Russian and Ukrainian clan members wished each other best wishes, all expressing that this was Putin’s act, and not theirs.
