Wolves have set themselves the ambitious goal of winning the Premier League within seven years.

Fosun International, the group that owns the club, has given its management team a number of demanding internal targets including a top-ten finish this season, their first in the top flight since 2012, before qualifying for the Champions League in subsequent seasons and the ultimate ambition of winning the title in the next seven years.
Nuno Espírito Santo, the head coach, has been backed in the transfer market with £70 million spent on new signings that means he will be under pressure to match the club’s big ambitions

They’ll be closer to relegation than the top ten this season.

I assume Cricketfield is fishing when he says banking the money...

It may be any team in the prem. a few will succeed the rest will crash and burn. right now we are really bucking the trend of mega rich owner prepared to say “I’ve so much money I can buy anything”. A league full of Veruca Salt’s. As it is I couldn’t be prouder of how we are competing.

Devils_Advocate wrote:What a weak argument to try and undermine Leicesters fantastic achievement and with that logic you could argue that we only came 7th because the teams like Everton, West Ham and Southampton were is disarray last season.

Im sure you wouldnt dream of down playing our success of last year the way you have with Leicesters title win

Devils_Advocate wrote:In what way. Im not having a go at our approach but its true that the main reason we are surviving and flourishing in this league with our approach is almost solely down to Dyche and how great a manager he is.

We will slip out of the league once Dyche goes and once the Parachute payments run out our revenue will equate to a League 1 team especially if a lot of other Championship owners are throwing money at it. Its logical that if we dont invest any of the owners money then we will naturally fall to a level where we can compete on transfers and wages which will be League 1

You're being a doomsayer to suit your usual position.
