The 2016-17 campaign marked a transformative new era for Wolverhampton Wanderers as the club began life under the ownership of Fosun International. While the season saw significant managerial change with four different head coaches taking charge, the team ultimately secured a 15th-place finish in the Championship. Leading the charge were joint top scorers Hélder Costa and David Edwards, who both grabbed 10 league goals, with Costa’s creative flair earning him the Player of the Season award. It was a year defined by a memorable run to the FA Cup fifth round, including a stunning victory at Anfield, providing a glimpse of the ambition that would soon return the club to the top flight.
