Chelsea in the cup was chaos, Fulham was worse, and the axe finally fell. Sam, Harry and Jack sift through a grim week for Wolves: the baffling line-ups, the red card, whether Vítor Pereira lost the dressing room, and what the fan open letter to Fosun actually achieved. Then it is the live debate on who comes in next, from Big Sam and Robbie Keane to Rob Edwards and Rui Vitória, before a realistic look at Chelsea away and score predictions. Plenty of gallows humour from the away end, some straight talk on keepers and service to the striker, and a plea for basic sanity from the boardroom.

An abysmal display at Molineux saw Burnley - quite happily settling for a draw- taking all three points in the Premier League. Wolves had done the hard work, having gone 2-0 down within the first 30 minute, before pulling it back level in the closing stages of the first half. However, it was another story of late goals coming back to hurt Vitor's side - this time a 95th minute winner for the Clarets. There are rumours of a takeover - but how true are they?

The lads are back to pick apart Wolves' 3-2 defeat at home to Everton and ask if the defensive mistakes are becoming too costly to ignore.

A deep look at Wolves' summer transfer window: £115m spent, £130m recouped, but still short in midfield. Did Jeff Shi and Fosun leave the squad too light? Why so many players turned Wolves down this summer and what it says about the club's “project” The international break – good time to regroup or a disruption Wolves don't need?

This week, we're delighted to welcome Wolves Chairman Jeff Shi to the show. Having been at the club since 2016, he has been a key part of the club's rise from Championship survival to top half Premier League finishes and European quarter finals. Currently enjoying their longest run of Premier League football, there is a lot to be proud of. Jeff hasn't done a huge amount of interviews. With the club surviving a tricky period last year when their top flight status was at risk for half the season, now is the time to talk to the fans and wider football community about both his ambitions for the club moving forward and how he believes a club needs to be run to bring both stability and success. He is candid in his reflections; it took him a while to understand what it really takes to run a club in this country. But in this era where there is a demand for access and insight into our top teams, a Premier League Chairman keen to come and open up on his philosophies and development plans is to be admired. From signing top European players while in the Championship to building for the future with Vitor Pereira, it's time to take a look inside a top Premier League team. On today's show we discuss: The Wolves Project: Why Wolves is still seen as a project in progress and how the club has evolved under Fosun's ownership What kind of long-term vision Fosun has for the club, and why sustainability now outweighs pure spending Balancing business logic with football emotion How Wolves preserve their club identity while operating as part of a global group Why Jeff sees his role as a ‘guardian', not just a CEO and how he tries to protect Wolves' long-term future Player Trading and Squad Building: How Wolves approach squad construction after big-name departures Why Jeff doesn't regret selling key players and what he looks for in a signing beyond just talent How Jorge Mendes, data, and direct club scouting all influence Wolves' recruitment model The economics of selling academy players and why the club must now “sell smart” Why Wolves is one of the best clubs in Europe for young players to develop Financial Reality of the Premier League: Why Wolves' net spend has dropped and why that doesn't reflect a lack of ambition How the club is adapting to stricter FFP regulations and evolving its internal culture What fans misunderstand about sustainability, profit, and the cost of competing with richer clubs The challenge of stadium redevelopment and how infrastructure investment plays into the club's future A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: RUNNA Whether you're an existing use or if it's your first time on the app, use the code below for exclusive access! https://join.runna.com/lKmc/redeem?code=BOSRUNNA Revolut Click the link below to sign up and get your £200 welcome bonus! https://get.revolut.com/z4lF/20VC

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, February 13, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Amid India-China geopolitical tensions, China's Fosun Pharmaceutical is in discussions with three global private equity firms to sell its majority stake in the Hyderabad-based Gland Pharma. Fosun currently owns about 51% of Gland Pharma, after initially acquiring a 74% stake for $1.2 billion. They have hired investment banks Morgan Stanley and UBS to assist with the sale. Global private equity firms Blackstone, Brookfield, and Warburg Pincus are interested in buying this stake, valuing the company at nearly $3 billion. Gland Pharma, founded in 1978, specializes in making generic injectable medicines and serves nearly 90 countries, focusing on India and the U.S. markets. In the December quarter, the company reported revenues of ₹1,384 crore and a profit after tax of ₹204.7 crore.The potential sale is expected to trigger an open offer to Gland Pharma's shareholders, with the buyers aiming to own between 60-65% of the company after the transaction. In a major step toward strengthening digital payment security, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed additional factor authentication (AFA) for international card-not-present (CNP) transactions. This means Indian consumers will have an extra layer of security when making payments to foreign merchants—just like they already do for domestic transactions.Now you may wonder what prompted this move by the RBI?It's primarily due to Rising Fraud Cases in international transactions involving unauthorized charges on foreign websites with minimal authentication. Now adding AFA will ensure stronger security standards that safeguard Indian cardholders against such risks. US-based industrial and aerospace giant Honeywell and Greenko founders-led AM Green signed an agreement on Wednesday to collaborate on manufacturing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in India from biofuels, including ethanol, methanol, and green hydrogen. Under this agreement, Honeywell's cutting-edge technology will be leveraged to produce SAF from renewable sources, aligning with global efforts to transition toward greener energy solutions. AM Green, a company backed by the founders of renewable energy giant Greenko, will focus on production and scaling operations in India, catering to both domestic and international markets.The companies will assess the feasibility of making SAF in India to reduce the country's oil import dependence, helping shipping companies adopt the low-emission fuel, and aiding aviation companies to meet International Civil Aviation Organisation guidelines for low-carbon fuel replacements. The global aviation industry is under increasing pressure to cut carbon emissions, and SAF has emerged as a key solution. This partnership strengthens India's role in the green energy revolution, supporting global decarbonization goals while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Over two dozen Indian startups are expected to go public in the coming months, including big names like Groww, Lenskart, and Zepto, which could see billion-dollar IPOs. Smaller companies like Ather Energy, BoAt, Bluestone, Infra.market, PhysicsWallah, PayU, and Pine Labs are also gearing up for their stock market debuts. This is a jump from last year when only 13 startups, including Swiggy, Ola Electric, and FirstCry, went public. However, market conditions are getting tougher. Investment bankers say startups might need to adjust their IPO sizes and valuations due to recent global economic shifts. The US stock market has been hit hard after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs, leading to uncertainty in global equity markets. India's Nifty 50 index is down 12.5% from its peak last September, with foreign investors selling off shares. Amid tough market conditions and lock-in expiries those looking to invest in upcoming IPOs could also be staring at losses in the short term At the Maha Kumbh Mela, India's largest spiritual gathering, several startups are seizing the opportunity to engage with the vast influx of pilgrims. Zomato-owned Blinkit has set up a temporary store offering ritual-related items and other essentials. Swiggy's Instamart has established a stall near the Triveni Sangam to serve attendees. PhonePe, in collaboration with ICICI Lombard General Insurance, is providing affordable travel insurance plans tailored for Kumbh visitors. Chai Point has deployed around 175 personnel and 18-20 mini stations, utilizing brewing bots capable of producing 15 liters of tea every 12 minutes, resulting in daily sales of approximately 160,000 cups reports Peiyamvada C. Now these initiatives not only cater to the immediate needs of pilgrims but also serve as strategic moves for brand visibility and customer acquisition. By adjusting pricing and packaging, these startups aim to connect with a broader audience beyond their typical urban clientele, gathering valuable insights for future expansions.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news markets have reacted sharply to a 'small miss' in the US inflation data. The impact on the NZD has been large.This small change in the American inflation rate has brought huge reactions. The US CPI slipped in August from 8.5% to 8.3% at an annual rate. Month-on-month the rate rose from 0% in July to +0.1% in August, or an annualised rise of +1.2%. The data may seem tame, but it wasn't the fall to 8.1% markets were expecting and there has been a truly outsized reaction.Equity markets have dived. Bond yields have jumped. The USD has strengthened sharply. Markets are bracing for a Fed that says it is more determined than ever to squash inflation and benchmark policy rate hikes may now be higher for longer given the policy action so far isn't working, apparently.The American CPI benefited from sharp falls in fuel cost. But it was food and rent that is creating the latest upward pressure, showing the inflationary impulse is much more embedded that many had assumed. The prior assumption was that falling petrol costs would be enough to quell inflation. It isn't. Core inflation actually rose.The market reaction seems to be based on the fear that the inflation fight might necessitate their economy suffering a hard landing, and a period of recession.Meanwhile last week, same store retail activity rose more than +11% from a year ago. That remains much more than can be accounted for by inflation and continues a long run of 'real' gains and far above what this tracking showed pre-pandemic.And as at June 2022, deposits at US banks flowed out, falling -US$370 bln to US$19.6 tln. It is the first quarterly decline since 2018 and comes as households seem to be shifting to a more active investing stance. It is an enormous shift, on a global scale. It's even an enormous shift in terms of their economy, equivalent to about 1.5% of GDP.In China, it appears that another very large hi-profile company is in trouble, mainly because of its exposure to the property sector. This could be another HNA-style meltdown. This company is Fosun International. Beijing has apparently told its state-owned banks and other SOEs to review their exposures to the company. The Shanghai based company was built on debt, and has seen its share price wither by half in the past year. Today's official warnings may trigger some sharp moves when the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opens later in the day.Economic sentiment in Germany has dived to its lowest level since the GFC, obviously driven by concerns about what lies ahead in a winter without the backstop of Russian energy supplies. The September fall is being described as 'significant'.In Australia, there are 10.8 mln dwellings. In total they were worth AU$10.146 tln as at March 2022. But by June they had fallen in value to AU$9.983 tln. That is a loss of value of -AU$162 bln - or -AU$1.8 bln per day.Staying in Australia, that value retreat hasn't hurt business confidence - yet.

We recap a somewhat uneventful offseason for Wolves as the dawn of a new Premier League season has arrived. Danny from Baltimore Wolves joins Josh and Paul to touch on the need for a striker, Raul's injury and how it can change Bruno Lage's approach to the start of the season, the signing of Nathan Collins and other possible incomings. Then the guys give predictions for the 22-23 season in the form of a rapid fire question round, touching on possible outcomes for Wolves in the league table, individual awards and whether Bruno - and possibly even Fosun - will be around for the long haul. Our guest David Geckle helps preview the Leeds match and creates a bit of envy within the group at the new American flair that now exists at Elland Road. --- Follow the show on Twitter @wlwpod and on Facebook!

In the 39th and final episode of Season 2, Paul and Josh are joined by a panel of friends of the podcast to recap the first season under Bruno Lage and what this summer will hold for Wolves. Dan John, Brian Donley, Andrew Smith, Ryan Gray and Danny from Baltimore Wolves all contribute their thoughts on whether a 10th place finish was a successful season, if Lage will remain with the club, who on the squad should be sold and what incoming transfers might look like. One thing is unanimous: this off-season will be be telling as to whether or not Fosun is serious about taking Wolves to the next level. Plus, the crew laments about the pre-season tour in the U.S. being cancelled and say (possibly) their final farewell to Ruben Neves. --- Follow the show on Twitter @wlwpod and on Facebook!

In episode 34 of season 2, we discuss a rested Wolves squad making the trip to Turf Moor with the aim of getting back on the winning track. What approach will Lage take in order to try and find goals against an always defensive Burnley? Plus, it's silly season with rumors about summer transfers. Who on the squad now is expendable and who would make for a good depth piece? We then hop in the time machine thanks to one of the No Stupid Questions from a listener, and we make predictions on what the next 20 years of Wolves football will look like. Will they be frequent contenders for the top 4? Will they be comfortably in the Premier League for the next few decades? And will Fosun still be in charge? --- Follow the show on Twitter (@wlwpod) and on Facebook! Part of a new supporters group in the USA?

In episode 33 of season 2, we chat about what went wrong (spoiler alert: everything) in the uninspired performance against Newcastle on Friday night and the implications it has on the rest of the season. With Ruben Neves' name swirling in the media - and the chat about a possible Neves transfer fee from Bruno Lage himself - we discuss what it would take for us to be willing to part with our beloved Neves and what Fosun would have to do to replace him. Plus, with reports of Trincao being unhappy at Wolves, we chat about what to do with his future and ways to move forward after he returns to Barcelona. It's an eye on the future in this episode, with plenty of No Stupid Questions sprinkled in throughout, and an update on the title run of Wolves Women and their promotion to the Championship with some help from Danny from Baltimore Wolves! --- Follow the show on Twitter (@wlwpod) and on Facebook!

In Episode 30 of Season 2, Brian Donley from Charlotte Wolves joins Joshua and Paul to discuss the controversy surrounding Raul Jimenez's sending off which played a large role in the second half collapse against Leeds on Friday night. With it being Trincao's best performance of his young Wolves career, Paul's man crush reaches new heights forcing Joshua to lean on the listeners to help cast the roles of Paul and Trincao in the latest romantic comedy... "Bromance With An Option To Buy." Plus, what does Raul's future hold at Wolves? And if you were spending Fosun's money come the summer, who would you bring in to bolster the squad? All that and more No Stupid Questions from the listeners on this week's show. --- Follow the show on Twitter (@wlwpod) and on Facebook! Part of a new supporters group in the USA?

Resort operators and tour operators Fosun, TUI and Jet2 welcome - finally - the return of punters seeking sand, sun - and, in the case of Fosun's Club Med, snow too. Co-living recovers, and investors are looking to extract a yield arbitrage; and India's major hotel companies eye opportunities and corporate splits, as the pandemic panic in the country wanes.

There are 4 major football clubs within 14 miles of each other in Birmingham and West Midlands that have been or are owned by Chinese businessmen: Birmingham, Aston Villa, West Brom and Wolves. Two of these have largely been success stories with Wolves under Fosun and West Brom under Lai Guochuan. However, Villa and Birmingham didn't have the same fortunes. This is the story of Carson Yeung's and Tony Xia's time in the West Midlands. Yeung will forever be remembered by Birmingham fan's for pushing them to League Cup success in 2011 but his tenure wasn't always fairytale stuff. Relegations and prison sentences followed for the pair as the cracks in the road began to show. Xia on the other hand with his outlandish ideas looked to make Aston Villa a Premier League powerhouse. From the bright lights of China and an Aston Villa theme park on the cards to winding up orders. This is the turbulent tale of Villa and Birmingham.
