Following the commitment made in March, as a result of some concerns raised by a number of Championship clubs, the EFL has met with Wolverhampton Wanderers to ensure compliance with the requirements of its regulations.
At that meeting, a request for information was made by the EFL and following a comprehensive review of the detail subsequently provided by the club, it has been determined that Mr Mendes holds no role at the club and, as such should not be categorised as a ‘Relevant Person’ as defined by League regulations. On this basis there is no requirement for him to submit to the Owners’ and Directors’ Test.
As part of the discussions the club has been reminded of its continuing obligation to keep under review the status of both existing Relevant Persons, but also any other individuals who may at some point acquire the status of Relevant Person, and advise the League (and, given the recent promotion, the Premier League) accordingly.
The EFL would like to place on record its appreciation to the management of Wolverhampton Wanderers for their help and assistance in resolving this matter within a sensible and appropriate timeframe.
The EFL will be making no further comment.

The conclusion is that Mendes has no formal role with the club. Which is good in satisfying these requirements. So I think we can only conclude his work with us is purely as an agent with him collecting his commissions when he assists with transfers.
Funny that football gets criticised for the amount of money it spends on agents. And yet when a club forms a positive relationship with an agent that benefits both parties, we get criticised for that too. A year ago when we were not doing well from our foreign signings nobody cared and the media were warning Wolves off working with Mendes. Now it’s going well, people are upset about it
