“I want to reach the easy wins,” said Wolves’ executive chairman Nathan Shi at the fans’ forum last month.
He wasn’t talking about Raul Jimenez, but in terms of raising the morale of their supporters, bringing him back is the easiest win imaginable.

McKenna has no fresh injury problems in his squad as they prepare to face a mid-table QPR side beaten in their past three matches.
“I watched their game against Derby last week, they had nearly 70 per cent possession against a team in the play-offs – they’ve got a very good manager, a very professional manager, I’m sure they’ll have trained and prepared this week,” McKenn
“They’ll be motivated to
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna believes his side deserved a penalty in the final moments of a turbulent 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough, which sees the Tractor Boys back up to second in the Championship.

“To me, the ball’s going across the face of goal and [Adilson] Malanda pulls George Hirst back as he’s running
Blackburn Rovers have reported a loss of £10.4m loss during the 2024-25 season – but is it as bad as it seems?
The club has seen an uptick in their generated revenue but are spending 114% of those funds on player’s wages and have also reported operating losses of £21.4m, with just £13m profited from player sales.
“The money coming into the club has gone up by 11% but the
