WOLVES manager Julen Lopetegui has blasted the club’s summer lack of transfer activity “a big disapointment.”
The Spaniard took over last season and managed to turn their fate around and saved the club from relegation.
Yet this summer Wolves have only made one signing after ex-player Matt Doherty returned on a free transfer from Atletico Madrid.
And Lopetegui is is furious at the lack of backing by the club’s board.
“It is not just for me, but for the sporting director, a big disappointment.”
Wolves finished 13th last season and Lopetegui asked for the clubs reassurance that they would be able to buy more players this summer.

The ex-Real Madrid manager said: ”It was bad news for me.
” I tried in the summer. This summer was plan A.
“We went to a plan B, trying to think about cost-effective players, but it’s true at the moment we can’t develop this plan, too.”
Wolves have made transfer moves for West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell and Bristol City’s Alex Scott.

But to raise funds for these transfers the club had to sell star players Ruben Neves, Conor Coady, Nathan Collins and Raul Jimenez for a total of £84m.
In a period of hyper wealthy clubs dominating the Premier League Wolves are struggling for next season not having any investment.
Lopetegui added: “I came here with a project and idea that, if we were able to save the team, we would be able to improve.”
