Nothing will come of it, QPR all over again.
Even if it has pissed people off they’ll bring in rules next season to stop it happening again like they did after brum had all those arsenal players on loan.

The EFL is to meet Championship leaders Wolves over the relationship between the club's Chinese owners Fosun and Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes.
The matter was raised at a league meeting on Thursday "in light of recent concerns raised by a number of clubs".

20 point deduction NOW!
20 point reduction and a relocation to Ashton Gate
This bit is interesting
"A subsidiary of Fosun owns a share in Mendes' agency and several of his clients are at Molineux, including head coach Nuno Espirito Santo and record signing Ruben Neves."
I'm not sure what has changed from 18 months ago when the ELF seemed to be OK with the Wolves set up.
It seems to be just politics to carry out another review after 'concerns' have been raised by Championship rivals (not Cardiff).
i doubt there is anything in this other than window dressing.
Exactly. The Football League know that any sanctions that resulted in Wolves missing out on the PL millions would be met with appeals, counter appeals, and possible claims for damages. There is little they can do, and this is opportunistic from some clubs hoping to get up through the back door.
I am a firm believer that the game should always be decided on the pitch.
This matter however is different and brings the entire league into real trouble.
I think Wanderers have a real problem. So do the press.
PS I follow Cardiff so I declare an interest with this post.
Please do not void all their results as we won at Wanky Wanderers ground that I can’t spell at 4 minutes past midnight
I don't see what they've done wrong most clubs have certain links with agents, If a club accepts a bid for one of their players and the player agreed a contract then what's to discuss really
It might come down to how some of Wolves players are owned. Are they fully owned by WWFC, who pay all their wages, or (and this is purely speculation) are these players part owned by a third party and/or being paid additional wages through offshore accounts/evading UK tax and minimising impact on FFP? Just a thought.
I hope they are OK.How many other sides in the top 6 lose as many points as we do should they be sanctioned?
I feel sorry for teams like Swindon and Luton, who were punished for far less IMHO
