Wolves have recently faced the challenges of complying with PSR rules while still having a successful transfer window. This summer, the club made over £100 million in player sales, with notable departures including Max Kilman, Pedro Neto, and Daniel Podence.
Gary O’Neil used some of this money to sign eight new players, ensuring the squad remains strong. Finance expert Adam Williams believes Wolves can avoid a PSR breach in the future thanks to their sales revenue.
Despite this, owner Jeff Shi has revealed that PSR has never been an issue for Wolves. Fosun has chosen to rely on player sales to fund the club rather than investing their own money. O’Neil has stated that the team will operate on a tight budget in the upcoming transfer windows, causing concern among fans.
Shi’s recent comments suggest that Wolves have never been close to breaching PSR rules and have never faced a significant challenge in this regard. However, the club’s reluctance to spend big money could lead to regression on the pitch and frustration among supporters.
With Wolves currently sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, it is clear that without a change in approach, the club could face further difficulties. Ambition and investment will be crucial if Wolves are to avoid a potential nightmare scenario in the future.
