Wolves haven't broken any rules yet - as FFP states no more than £39 million over three seasons if they go up and if they don't get up they'll escape punishment by offloading record buys Neves £15.5 million & Costa - deals done by Agent Jorge Mendes (agent of Ronaldo & Mourinho) in fact he is the Agent for many Wolves imports including their Manager Santo proving its 'who you know' in the game.With an unlimited budget for Wolves, and remaining buoyant in the PL,buying a whole new team will not be a problem - The Wolves owner has stated top four finish in PL recently is possible. Mmm,until it goes wrong and the owner 'flips' 'em onto a market not so keen on buying them as we well know.
Only one winner - Agent Mendes or any Agent given an unlimited budget but what about the bloke who is in charge of recruitment,in our case Orta on a budget.What that budget and plan is may not appear to be a chosen vein of discussion on 'ere but will be the answer to frustrations expressed,IMO.The policy he's doing is the policy the Rad wants doing in fairness and it's the Rads plan too.
MOT.
Can't quite make out what the point of the post is.

Owner is a national of a one-party state, relevance? Perhaps as to how he made his money, but then you would have to ask about Sh1tty, Chelski etc etc, so no news there.

If Wolves haven't broken any rules, perhaps the point you're making is that paying top dollar for those with the skills and experience to build a team around is not such a bad idea?

Perhaps the point about the agent is that if a club finds an agent who knows what they are doing (and are willing to dip into deeper pockets than we seem to have), the probability of finding real talent is enhanced?

Whatever the owner has said about where the club might finish in the PL is just that, hyperbole, much like the aspiration for our finish position (at least in the case of Wolves there are clear indications that the owner intends to get to a place where competing in the PL is possible, not quite sure where Radrizzani exects/intends us to finish this season).

"One winner"? Errr......not if the statement in the first line of your post is correct. The club will "win" to the tune of around £190 just for getting promoted (conservative estimate, could be more with judicious milking of sponsors etc). Fairly good return on the <£39m investment possible before FPP kicks in?

Good question, "What about the bloke who is in charge of recruitment"......Not being discussed much on here, other than "leave him alone, he knows what he's doing and it will be alright on the night"..kind of. He failed at Middlesborough, he has been less than successful in his dealings at Leeds. Is it Radrizzanis policy, or that of Bravo and Orta, to which he has (for whatever reason) nailed his colours to the mast of? After all, just what experience does Radrizzani have of scouting and selecting football players? Errr....none. What experience does he have of owning and running a football club, in particular the mechanisms for acquiring talent in the playing, coaching and ancillary disciplines.....errrr, none. So doesn't it make more sense, a more logical conclusion, that he has been "advised" that doing what we are doing is the right thing, for a club like Leeds and for an owner without the mega-bucks available to others?
