Overview
- Wolves Women failed to apply for the Tier 2 licence required for promotion, nullifying their season's efforts despite finishing second in their league.
- Players and fans learned of the licence oversight only after the final match, leading to public criticism and calls for greater transparency.
- Chairman Jeff Shi announced the club will now apply for the Tier 2 licence annually in alignment with on-field performance to avoid similar issues in the future.
- The club is implementing structural changes, including the creation of an independent women's board and hiring a full-time commercial lead to drive sustainable growth.
- None of the players are on full-time contracts, highlighting broader resource disparities in women’s football and the need for increased investment under new plans.
