Wolves began the 2006\/07 season with modest expectations but gradually developed into promotion contenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squad featured players including Michael Kightly, Seyi Olofinjana, Karl Henry, Jody Craddock, Stephen Ward and goalkeeper Matt Murray, with several emerging talents establishing themselves in the first team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolves finished fifth in the Championship with 76 points, securing a place in the promotion play-offs. However, their campaign ended against local rivals West Bromwich Albion, who secured a 4–2 aggregate victory in the semi-finals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlofinjana finished as the club's leading goalscorer with ten goals across all competitions, while Kightly's performances on the wing earned considerable recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following campaign brought significant changes off the pitch, with businessman Steve Morgan completing his takeover of Wolves in August 2007. McCarthy continued to reshape the squad, with players including Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Kevin Foley and Wayne Hennessey becoming increasingly important figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbanks-Blake arrived from Plymouth Argyle in January 2008 and made an immediate impact, contributing goals as Wolves attempted to secure another play-off place. Despite remaining competitive throughout the campaign, Wolves finished seventh in the Championship with 70 points, narrowly missing out on the top six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two seasons proved important in establishing the foundations for the club's subsequent success, with several members of McCarthy's developing squad playing influential roles in the following campaign. Wolves went on to win the Championship title in 2008\/09, securing promotion to the Premier League after a five-year absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Le Coq Sportif, the 2006–08 Wolves home shirt featured the club's traditional old-gold design with contrasting black detailing and the Chaucer sponsor. Worn during McCarthy's first two seasons in charge, the shirt represents a period of transition that laid the foundations for Wolves' eventual return to the Premier League.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e PIT TO PIT - 68\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecm \/\/\/ COLLAR TO HEM - 76cm \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soccer Archive","offers":[{"title":"2XL \/ Orange","offer_id":53168226205983,"sku":"4\/10-8HKABY","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3508\/5343\/files\/WOLVERHAMPTON_WANDERERS_2006-08_HOME_SHIRT.jpg?v=1793366592","url":"https:\/\/thesoccerarchive.com\/products\/wolverhampton-wanderers-2006-08-home-shirt-2xl","provider":"The Soccer Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
