Are we a year behind Wolves?

Just noticing some comparisons with what we're going through and what Wolves went through last season.

They were taken over by Chinese owners (reputedly worth many many yuen), appointed Zenga then promptly sacked him after a poor run, appointed the least worst option as manager and consolidated their league position whilst continuing to invest in players. Have an agent / advisor (Mendes) driving or at least heavily involved in player recruitment. Are now second and looking a real force in the league.

The parallels are there, admittedly associated is not cause and effect, but it is mildly interesting (to me at least).
