Bruno Lage has launched a passionate defence of chairman Jeff Shi and the Wolverhampton Wanderers hierarchy.
Fosun frontman Shi has come under-fire from supporters over the club’s lack of spending in recent transfer windows.
Head coach Lage missed out on multiple targets in the summer window, while Wolves’ January business is likely to be dependent on what they can rake in through sales.
Supporters’ frustrations have been tempered by Wolves’ impressive start to the season with a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Monday lifting the team up to eighth in the Premier League.
And Lage, completely unprompted, used his post-match press conference following Wolves’ win at Old Trafford to defend those making the financial decisions above him.
Swiftly changing the subject after being asked about Wolves’ decision to recall Ryan Giles from his loan spell at Cardiff City, Lage said: “It’s a good question but for today what’s most important is to talk about the great performance.
“I promise I will answer the question in the next press conference.
“One thing is important: I have a good relationship with my boss. Me and Jeff talk every day.

“The most important thing is we have a plan. As a manager, I understand very well the economical moment of the club.
“When I talk about needing players, they know that I need (players), they know the plan. I am not making pressure and the people cannot use my words to attack everyone.
“We are here working as a team. We have a plan, I have a three-year contract and I promise the fans we will create the team we are dreaming of.
“We have a lot of players, quality players. We are waiting on Pedro Neto, Jonny, (Bruno) Jordao is with us, I’m waiting for Yerson (Mosquera).
“We are working inside our building without problems. I talk every day with my boss, Jeff, with my sporting director, Scott (Sellars).”
