Wolves are the biggest threat to the top 4-5 in a long time.
Leicester weren't able to sustain that, but I can see them getting up to the 'Pool, Tottenham level in the not too distant future.
Definately up to the Europa spots very quickly.
Mendes had that kind of pull when they were mid table championship, who's he going to bring in when they are actually in the prem or even Europe?
He's publicly an "associate" of the club, as he's best friends of the current owners, agents aren't allowed official involvement in clubs, but he more than likely is probably a silent part owner, or he gets a % of revenue etc.
If that is the case, it's in his best interests to be funnelling players on the cheap onto the books at Wolves, at the end of the day it's directly into his back pocket, not only that, it's compounding, the better the club gets the more it's worth, greater revenue etc.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mourinho ended up there after Utd depending on the timing or Ronaldo finished his career there if they can establish themselves before that point comes.

Even in our current state, we're best of the of the rest (just you wait, Burnley), and many of our goals have CL places tied to them as carrots. (Even then, we like to cause trouble for the bigger clubs)
Our owners are not going to rest until we become regular CL contenders, and even then, that's not going to rest until further glory is pushed.
I'd say wait until they get up there, because I can tell you that if anyone wants to have a fight into breaking into the big boys club first, we will be ready for it. (As noted, I would love a good slog with Wolves, especially for Best of the Midlands, and if it means fighting for Europe).
