Wolves Hand Day-to-Day Control to Nathan Shi After Jeff Shi Steps Down as Fans Keep Up Pressure

Supporter unrest has pushed a leadership reset, with an expedited hunt for a permanent chair now underway.

Overview

  • Jeff Shi has relinquished operational responsibilities at Wolverhampton Wanderers and remains chairman and CEO of Fosun Sports Group without club duties.
  • Fosun employee Nathan Shi, who is not related to Jeff Shi and has worked at the company since 2016, has been appointed interim executive chairman.
  • The board says it has accelerated the process to identify and appoint a permanent executive chairman for the club.
  • Supporters kept protests going during the weekend defeat to Brentford, with groups welcoming the change but vowing continued pressure for clarity on strategy and governance.
  • Wolves stay bottom of the Premier League without a win this season, a slide that has intensified scrutiny after summer sales and recruitment choices Jeff Shi previously acknowledged were misjudged.
