What you have to look at is what money is being made.
Plus look at the price of tickets for these
Clubs.
Then compere them to wolves
You need to make a good profit to be able to spend.
Who's 1st to moan when prices go up.

Moby of course you are correct.
But look at the other 11 other non big 8 Prem teams.
Wolves turnover is in line with most of them.
The direction of travel is not!
Wolves cost base is massively out of kilter with most of them and thus Wolves lose buckets and haemorrhage cash.
This means Wolves, unlike virtually everyone else in the league, sells its top talent every year.
I recently looked at, (and wrote about on here), Crystal Palace.
They have a similar turnover but massively different profits. Hence whilst Wolves have sold numerous top level talents Palace over the past 5 years have only sold 3 significant players. A well run club can cope with that level of turnover. No club - except perhaps Brighton, the exception it seems to most rules - can cope with the level of player sales Wolves have endured.

Thefutureisoldgold1, do the end of year statements give any indication of the reason for our huge outgoing costs?
I believe it's partly due to non playing staff wages but I struggle to understand why any club with a similar turnover would have significantly different running costs.
Arguably Wolves should be lower as wages etc should be lower than most, everything tends to increase the further south in the UK you travel.

Wolves have a large amort due ironically to the high expenditure on new players - it is a bit unfair to beat Jeff with that stick although of course until this year Fabio and Guedes will have accounted for a very substantial part of that.
But yes it is also due to Wolves having high non football wages - as you state given the economic situation in Wolverhampton this is bizarre - and it is impossible to say why.
