The Wolves owner has shares in Mendes' agency and Jorge Mendes gets paid as an 'advisor'. They have a very close personal and professional relationship that both are using to scratch one another so back hence the influx of Portuguese and international players 1-2 seasons into being a PL club.

Fosun also has close ties to super-agent Jorge Mendes, both personal and professional. Mendes is mostly known for representing Cristiano Ronaldo and other high-profile players. But Mendes and Guangchang are close friends. Guangchang even bought shares in Mendes’s holding company, Gestifute. Now the Portuguese agent is an “advisor” at Wolves, which drew the ire of other Championship teams.
Hopefully this variables give a fair reflection on how Wolves have been able to move up the ranks very quickly compared to most teams that get promoted and push for progression.
