Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club has released 'headline' financial information for the year which ended 31st May 2007. This covers the Championship season 2006/07 when the team, after finishing 5th in the table, was beaten at the semi final stage of the Play-Offs. These results do not include the purchase, and subsequent investment into the club, by new owner, Steve Morgan in August 2007.
This was the first season since relegation from the FA Premier League that the club had not received a 'parachute payment'. Despite this, the club managed to achieve an operating profit, after player trading but before the charging of interest costs, of just over £1.1m on a turnover of £15.9m. With net interest charges running at £0.3m the club finished with a bottom line profit of £0.8m. This compares to a loss of £1.2m on a turnover of £23.8m the previous season when the club had received a Premiership 'parachute payment' of around £7 million and the average attendance was 23,600 compared to 21,000 in the season under review.

Wolves chairman Steve Morgan has today announced that The Morgan Foundation will give a minimum of 10% of its annual budget - currently £1.5million per annum - to Wolves Aid. This means that Wolves Aid will be able to donate in excess of £150,000 each year to local charities and community groups.
According to The Football League Trust, today's announcement will make Wolves Aid the biggest charity of its type in football, donating more money to local charities and community groups than any other football charity.
In a further move, Wolves' award winning Football in the Community scheme will be amalgamated into Wolves Aid. Already reaching over 160,000 children and young adults every year with its social inclusion and disability initiatives, it's estimated that charitable status will result in the programme doubling in size over the next two years.
