Club Structure: 28 March 1923 – ‘The first step in the proposed reconstruction of the club was taken, when an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the club, held at the Molineux Hotel, gave the directors the necessary sanction to proceed with their plans. The proposal placed before the meeting was the appointment of a trustee of a new company which it is proposed to form, with whom the Board should be empowered to enter into an agreement for the sale of the assets of the company at a price to be mutually agreed upon, the understanding being that the new company will take over any outstanding financial liability. It is understood that the new capital will be offered to the public for subscription, and if this meets with a successful response, representatives of the new subscription will discuss with the present Board plans for the coming season’. 29 May 1923 – It is announced the new compony Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club (1923) Ltd have a working capital of £30,000 and have three directors with more to be announced E Barker, A Holloway and TW Simpson. 19 July 1923 – ‘The appointment of the new directorate of the club was the principal business dealt with at the first meeting of the shareholders of the company.
