Wolves' Billionaire Owners Insist Club Will Be Bigger Than Manchester City

Wolves have already impressed under their billionaire owners, but now executive chairman Jeff Shi is claiming he wants to turn the west Midlands club into the largest in the world.

The Chinese businessman heads the Fosun Group's investment in the football club and told the Daily Mail that the size of Wolverhampton will have no impact on turning the city's team into one of the world's elite.

Having been born and raised in Shanghai, a city of 24m people, Shi was keen to point out that cities like Manchester have produced top clubs despite relatively limited populations in comparison.
