A storm could be brewing at Wolves, with manager Julen Lopetegui asking awkward questions of the owners after some pretty wild spending over the last year...
This has been a season of inconsistency for Wolves, and of a strangeness masked by the fact that they will finish it in the relative hinterlands, somewhere between 12th and 15th in the Premier League table. They’ve failed to win more than two or lose more than three successive games, and they only lost three in a row once, at the start of the run that ended Bruno Lage’s spell in charge.
In one sense, mission accomplished. They stuttered a fair bit on the way, but four wins in six games in April was enough to get them to safety with just enough to play. Wolves head into their final game of the season at Arsenal jockeying for their final league position and, of course, the extra prize money that comes with it. Each league position is worth £2.2m, so the difference between finishing 12th and 15th would be £6.
Their financial losses for the 2021/22 season were £46.1m. The year before they reported a profit of £18.4m, but with the rules limiting them to rolling three-year losses of £105m it’s not difficult to see how they could be sailing close to the wind on FFP. to carry out on their squad this summer. There will be spaces, with big personalities – which still counts for a lot in the changing room and on the training ground, even amongst those who may not be playing – moved on. But they have to achieve this while trying to break even. It starts to look as though the owners of the club may have…messed up somewhat, especially as Julen Lopetegui is now very publicly expressing his ‘surprise’ at these potential FFP issues.
