"The players who were brought in were brought in for the right reasons, but when you have a return of two points at this stage you have to say it's wrong because whatever starting XI we have put out has not been good enough. For the way we can go into the market for our players, it's tough. We don't have endless resources so we are trying to find players in markets where others aren't necessarily looking."
"Maybe we sold too many players in one window. You can see the squad and compare it to last season, maybe we changed 40 or 50% of the key players. It's a task to rebuild a team but the Premier League is very tough. If you can't control the tempo and need a longer time to rebuild the team the games will punish you."
Wolverhampton Wanderers sit bottom of the Premier League with two points and an eight-game losing run equalling a club record. The club sold Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri for a combined £92.5m and allowed captain Nelson Semedo to depart on a free transfer. Wolves signed six players without Premier League experience and made Jorgen Strand Larsen's loan permanent for £23m, but the squad has struggled to score and secure results. Technical director Matt Jackson and executive chairman Jeff Shi acknowledge that the transfer strategy and large squad turnover hampered immediate performance while defending the search for value in limited markets.
