The club was in severe financial difficulties throughout the early to mid-1980s but was reinvigorated with the arrival of Sir Jack Hayward as owner in 1990. His money and management totally transformed the decrepit Molineux stadium with £20 million of redevelopment and helped raise the club from the bottom division of English professional football.
