Yes, not really winning by default though is it? It's just winning. Hayward was a lovely philanthropist but also guilty of terrible nepotism, so much of his money was wasted. Morgan was a good businessman but suffered from hubris, basically imagining that if you could make a fortune from shooting fish in the property barrel, you could run a football club. So for the combination of good decision making and sensible investment we had to wait for Fosun. They may not be perfect, but we're being run by people who both want to invest and spend their money sensibly, so they are the best of the three.Fosun are the best of the modern era, but to be fair it's not a particularly high bar. Unless you want to go back to the days of Jack Harris, to whom we owe infinitely more than Fosun, that only leaves three candidates.
Morgan's reign started well but will be remembered for the disastrous "double dip" relegation, and his prioritising the stadium over the squad. Sir Jack, while a brilliant man, philanthropist and Wolves icon, did not have the right temperament or strategic mind to run a Football club successfully or efficiently, let's be honest. That only really leaves Fosun, who win by default for fulfilling a target that should have been realised decades before for a club of Wolves' standing and history.
