Wolves fans protest against the owners outside Molineux, leaving parts of the stands around the ground empty for the Man Utd game.
Fans were urged to boycott the first 15 minutes to express their anger at Fosun’s management of the club.
This was supported by several supporters groups including Old Gold Pack, Wolves 1877 Trust, Talking Wolves, Wolves Fancast, The Wolves Report, Wolves 77 Club, Always Wolves, Punjabi Wolves and The Wolfpack.
Fans are angry at what they see as the successful decline of the club, which sold its best players.

STATEMENT OF THE FAN GROUP:
Wolves v Manchester United – Protest – Monday December 8th
Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. A club based on rich history and tradition. Few teams have shaped the game like ours. But today that legacy is being undermined – not by the fans, not by the players, but by FOSUN’s continued negligence and incompetence.
If you really want to make a difference, join us in staying off the field for the first 15 minutes against Manchester United. A visibly empty stadium speaks louder than any chant, banner or slogan ever could. It’s important to all of us. It hurts us all. We all want something better for the wolves. But that only works if the majority of us stand together and participate.
This is our club. Make it count.
OUT OF DARKNESS COMES LIGHT
As a collective of fans groups, we support the OGP’s proposal to miss the first 15 minutes of the game – and we urge every fan in attendance (where possible) to support us in doing so.
We want to make it clear in a peaceful but unequivocal way that Wolves should be run with the ambition, pride and values on which this club was built.

Supporters have tried to raise concerns. We tried to get involved. We tried to be heard, and it always felt like Fosun and Jeff Shi just weren’t listening. That’s why we’ve come to this point.
By not addressing Jeff Shi’s obvious leadership weaknesses, Fosun left fans wondering whether they were still capable of leading Wolves in the right direction.
This is not about conflict. It’s not about division. It’s about a fan base that cares deeply about their club and doesn’t want to see it slip further away from the standards and ambitions that Wolves deserve.
This club is our life. We want something better for the wolves. And it’s time for Fosun to realize that. Important – Please read: This is an individual decision, not an organized gathering at a specific location. Please respect those who choose to enter as normal.
Keep entrances, turnstiles, walkways and sidewalks clear at all times. Do not block streets or pedestrian paths. Leave space for others and move where you wish.
Respect and follow the instructions of stewards, staff and the police at all times. If the police or law enforcement impose any conditions or instructions, please comply with them fully.
To avoid a rush after 15 minutes, you should stagger your entry and follow the steward’s instructions regarding queues.
Our goal is a safe and peaceful demonstration of concern for our club.

Following a survey of its members, the Wolves 1877 Trust has decided to support the Old Gold Pack (OGP) initiative, which encourages fans not to take their seats during the first 15 minutes of the Manchester United game on Monday.
With a high-profile match being broadcast around the world, we believe an empty stadium would be a strong signal to the club’s management that fans are currently angry.
Although this is not a Trust-led initiative, we want fans to be as safe as possible. If you decide to attend and do not wish to take your place, please note the following:
Some fans won’t want to participate. Please accept and respect their decision. At the end of the day we are all Wolves fans.
The areas of the site are not designed to accommodate everyone at the same time. Please listen to and follow the advice of all club administrators.
Stay away from entrances, sidewalks and turnstiles.
If at any time you feel unsafe, please report your concerns to a club administrator.
We would also like to take this opportunity to point out that the Trust is being asked for its direct support for a number of fan protest initiatives. There are lots of ideas and it’s good that we supporters see that we can make a difference.

At the Trust we are all fans ourselves, so we recognize the anger at the direction the club is heading.
We are continuing direct dialogue with senior club officials and submitted a number of questions to the recent Supporters Advisory Council meeting. We are awaiting a copy of the meeting notes with the club’s official responses before deciding our next steps.
As a reminder, we would like to see significant changes in the way the club is currently run and we would like to see a strategic plan that recognizes the need for investment in both team and stadium infrastructure, rather than stagnation and decline.
Directly organizing or supporting a protest of any kind is a serious step for any democratically founded organization such as the Trust, whose primary mission is to represent the views of its members through structured dialogue meetings. As board members, we volunteers are held accountable if something goes wrong. That’s why we won’t start organizing the kind of protests you’re seeing in West Ham until we can be sure that:
a) they will have the effect we want and
b) if we can organize them legally, safely and peacefully. It has taken West Ham teams a whole year to get to the level they are at now.
In the meantime, we recognize and support the right of individuals to peacefully “protest” as they wish, and we will continue to seek our members’ views on our future actions.
Manny Singh Kang: “Our 150th anniversary is coming up in 2027 and it will be in the Championship. Fosun is only 7% of that existence.”
“It started well but was destroyed by Jeff and Guo standing by him.
“Protest is a right, it is not directed against the team, but against the dissolution of our club, the letters and emails did not work. The dialogues did not receive a positive response. Taking further action is a basic human reaction, especially when it comes to something that is a large part of life.”
“Stop buying merchandise and all food and drink in the ground. Protest outside the stadium and arrive ten minutes late. All of this will have an immediate impact. The players and staff will know it is not against them. The club has read all the posts. Whatever the fans decide, it is necessary for everyone to stand together to have the best possible impact.”
“Empty for 15 minutes! If there are elderly people, children and disabled people. Let them into the hall first to wait! This is not about the players and the manager. It is a sign of solidarity against the negligence shown by our owners. We have all been very fair with them so far.”
“People were worried that the 15 minute delay was a snub to the players. They know it’s not against them, they’ve all read the stuff. It can’t be worse than it is, maybe they’ll even relax and play better. Imagine if we missed a free kick from Arias in the 7th minute
“So there is a small group of fans who think that I shouldn’t criticize JS/Fosun because I’m fundraising.
I am my own person and if something needs to be addressed, I will call it out. They don’t concern me.
Jeff Shi made big mistakes that impacted so many.
“Our people are our backbone and his decisions have destroyed so many families that were gone for many years. The neglect of our club has been going on for years, some great people have left the club. I call whoever I want. It’s my opinion. You have yours
“Of course there is a game tonight and we want our team to win every game regardless of the current problems.
“In the last four games we were 0-0 at HT. In the crucial moments we were second best. None of the opponents played that well. Let’s try to be braver “
