Was there much of a protest last night as I didn’t catch the game?

I don't think what goes on at Wolves affects Fosun at all. The only two people that could be affected are Guo and Shi. Guo will be embarrassed if he attends gamse but will be probably be more concerned about restoring his previous reputation as "China's Warren Buffett" than his reputation as a football club owner. Shi has obviously has a thick skin and is possibly well regarded in Fosun because he hasn't asked for any investment in the last few years (at the expense of decimating the team).

I suspect that Fosun won't want to sell Wolves even after we've been relegated as they will have to take a loss. (I would imagine the roughly 500 million that they have invested at Wolves is recorded as a 500 million asset in their books.) They are looking to sell a minority share as they know they can't invest directly and the club needs money to stay in the premier league. Selling a minority share would also give them something against which to justify their valuation of Wolves in their assets.(It already seems far too late for a cash injection to save us from going down.)

I have no optimism for the future, we'll be in a vicious cycle of dropping, selling to reduce costs, dropping again.

Clutching at straws, if Fosun were threatened with a major restructing by their creditors, they may have to sell Wolves and stomach the loss.

No-one is going to buy a minority stake in an asset rapidly declining in value.

I keep asking on social media posts about wanting Fosun out, who’s buying us? And I just get abuse about not being a real supporter, I’d know if I was local ( wtf does that mean?) being a Fosun bitch ( again wtf?) and so on.
I don’t see a lot of billionaires casually strolling past the club on a regular basis, and tbh who’d want to buy a terrible team, crumbling stadium, in a scruffy town in the midlands.
Am I the only one wondering this?

All those issues that make us unattractive, Fosun have caused.

We have a Category 1 Academy.

Why is it not producing some decent home grown players, instead of the club buying expensive rubbish from abroad.

Not sure we'll have Cat 1 for long. You have to maintain a certain level of spending to stay at that level.

Right? Who was the last world class Valorant player we produced?

Because every time we get a decent prospect.. ManU and the like come along and poach them

Exactly. That's why I can only see relegation followed by cost cutting followed by relegation.
