Little over two years ago, Wolves were seen as nothing but another team. Another club, from another West Midlands city. Stable in the Championship, but nothing more. Industrial in nature, best known for coal mining, steel production and car manufacture.
A place inhabited by blue collar, salt of the earth citizens. People who love their team, and support no matter what. People who dream of success, but never expect it. People who got given one surreal, yet totally tangible shock.
Fosun International. To those who knew no better, it seemed like another ponzi scheme.
