Wolves' Alleged 'Breach of FA Regulation' Could Be an Obstacle in Premier League Promotion

Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers may potentially face an unexpected setback in their bid to become a Premier League club, despite gaining promotion last Saturday.

According to an article in the Guardian, Wolves' relationship with 'super agent' Jorge Mendes may constitute a breach of FA rules intended to prevent conflicts of interest.

One of the FA's regulations states: "[An] entity with an interest in a club shall not have any interest in the business or affairs of an intermediary or an intermediary’s organisation."

Another rule states that agents must have no "material influence" over a club's operations.
