The new Wolves owner Jeff Shi has called on fans to join the club in their promotion push as opposed to waiting until they get there.

The excitement surrounding Wolverhampton Wanderers over the last few months has been clear to see, with the club being turned upside down courtesy of the many new arrivals at Molineux.

The biggest of all has been the introduction of new owners Fosun and as reported by Express & Star, owner Jeff Shi has urged Wolves fans to join them on their journey as they attempt to bounce back up into the Premier League.

“I hope the fans can enjoy the progress and the growing up period,” he said.

“I think good fans like that, they can enjoy the wins and also the growing-up pains and happiness and try to be together with us.

“For example, when we’re in the Premier League and look back, you can see the whole progress and the whole life here, from now to the Premier League.

“It’s a very interesting journey to us and you can see sometimes we are down, sometimes we have ups, but it’s interesting to experience this, rather than wait until the Premier League, I’d like all the fans to grow up with the club together with us.”

It is fair to say the team have experienced a rather inconsistent start to the campaign, but as we all know with the Championship anything can happen and momentum is crucial in the second tier. It appears as if Shi and company are fully aware that this process takes time, and that can only be a positive thing as this process cannot be rushed.

Following their disappointing loss to Wigan in mid-week, Wolves face another tough task this weekend when they take on high flying Norwich City at Molineux.
