Wolves' chairman has paid tribute to Conor Coady's 'outstanding' influence after the defender's season-long loan switch to Everton was confirmed yesterday evening.
The 29-year-old centre-back has been key to Wanderers' rise in recent years but has fallen out of favour after Bruno Lage's decision to opt for a four-back formation for the current campaign, having previously preferred a 3-5-2 system.
Wolves' decision to offload their club captain, with the Toffees possessing the option to make this a permanent move, has been frowned upon by some supporters but hopes are being pinned on new arrival, Nathan Collins, to fill the void left behind by the Liverpool Academy graduate.
