Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially moved on from Jeff Shi, with Nathan Shi—who is not related—now taking his place at Molineux.
Fosun’s ownership remains a major talking point among Wolves fans, but largely for the wrong reasons.
Jeff Shi’s Rise and Fall at Molineux
Jeff Shi joined Wolves in July 2016 as part of Fosun’s takeover, initially serving as a board member before becoming Executive Chairman in July 2017.
While his early tenure was widely seen as successful, things gradually declined. The current campaign brought heavy criticism of Shi’s strategy and perceived lack of ambition.
Matters worsened after a BBC interview in which he told fans that relegation was “not that serious”. The Billy Wright Stand protest soon followed and appeared to mark a turning point.
Companies House Filing Confirms Exit
Any lingering doubts about Shi’s involvement behind the scenes have now been dismissed.
An official Companies House document for Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club (1986) Limited confirms the termination of Mr Yu Shi (Jeff Shi).
-
Termination date: 19 December
-
Public confirmation: Only recently surfaced
This officially ends Jeff Shi’s time at Wolves.
Who Is Nathan Shi?
Not much is currently known about Nathan Shi.
He arrives with no previous football experience, but has impressed some supporters with his tone and communication in his limited interviews so far.
Nathan has spoken about rebuilding trust through actions, a clear contrast to the Jeff Shi era, where words often rang hollow—most notably when Jeff was caught out over stadium-related claims involving the council.
What Happens Next?
Nathan Shi is not viewed as a long-term replacement, and questions remain over how long he will remain in the role.
For now, Wolves fans will be watching closely to see whether this change signals a genuine shift in direction—or simply another short-term fix.
