Ultimately all this discussion is moot.
The only relevant thing is that Jeff Shi was too cowardly to inform the team what was happening, and waited until the end of the season to do it. I bet he was secretly hoping they didn't finish in the promotion places too the prick so he didn't get any more seriously bad press.

The decision was made by the management team to not tell the players according to The Athletic.

I’d love to know what this ‘substantial financial contribution’ is. Surely can’t be millions!

You can't tell some people that because they don't want to listen. Shi is their scapegoat for everything. It's understandable given some of his fuck ups but it seems some people would rather play the blame game to justify their feelings rather than wait to have an informed opinion. Just as Shi / Fosun were rightly blamed for our dreadful start to the season, they are never credited with taking action to correct matters. Today's culture I guess. And no, this isn't a wind up attempt. Just a difference in opinion between me and those who were throwing accusations out before more facts were known. Sure, it's a PR disaster but the women will be playing next season in the league they wouldn't have been promoted from anyway. Hopefully lessons have been learned and everyone has a successful season next season. I'm done with this issue. Life moves on.
Would be interesting if they were consistent and didn’t do anything they disagreed with. Load of rubbish
In Shi’s defence if he has told the management then it is up to them to then tell the players.
Granted, we can criticise the ultimate decision that is on Shi, but the delivery, or lack of isn’t on him. He could Ofcourse have over ruled them and said ‘no you tell them now’ but we do openly say he hasn’t got a clue either footbal matters so should leave that to the football people.
And yet weirdly there is a strange kinda inverse paradigm adopted by some in that rather than take the word of those directly impacted by a decision (in this case Wolves Women) they will cling to an unsubstantiated report to justify their own belief systems...

Hardly suprising, Shi is adopting the same approach to wolves women as wolves men. Put in as little money as is required to keep the team at the level shi / fosun is happy with. In this case they don't give a monkeys about the womens teams position.
Ambition must be a dirty word around molineux

That's not right. Nobody is disputing Beth Merrick's claim that they were told after the final game.
The Athletic reports that the Wolves Women management decided to withhold the information, not Shi. And that makes total sense. It's very hard to believe that the manager and head of football had no idea this was happening.

The "when" is the much less important issue. The hypocrisy, cheapness, lack of ambition, leadership-by-spreadsheet is the problem.
Jeff Shi is a liar.
How do I know this? By his own words and actions whereby he is on record as saying one thing only to contradict that position several months down the line, when I guess he believes no one will pick him up on it?
So in this instance we now have the club feeding a journalist a version of events that absolves Shi and scapegoats the Wolves Women's management.
Shi is the one that made the decision, just own it, don't try and weasel out of it by blaming others. He should have been communicating this himself.

The penny pinching will be here next season, the squad will be 2-3 players short again, the ground will look just as tired.
I think the turning point will be if VP sees no future and leaves on his own accord.
The “ I don’t give a shit” comments from our fans is embarrassing.
As for the coaching staff not telling players, well they probably should’ve made them aware however I can empathise massively why they didn’t.
Firstly you’re there almost on voluntary basis so dishing such shit news from above shouldn’t be on your shoulders.
If they tell them mid season they risk players at best not fully committed or at worst walking out.
They have themselves to think of as well especially if they want to progress their coaching.
Those that make these decisions are usually paid well enough to deal with the pressure of telling those affected. But not Jeff mr sloppy shoulder dude.

Agree with Shi being a liar.
Understand your point, however he won’t be the first, or last top dog who delegates bad news for those below to relay on. Whether it’s right or wrong is up for debate Ofcourse
