The sale of Benik Afobe meant Wolves achieved a pre-tax profit of £5.8m despite falling attendances in former owner Steve Morgan’s final year at the club.

The figures the club has released, external cover the year up to the 31 May 2016, in which they finished 14th in the Championship, and sold the likes of Afobe - for a reported £10m - and Richard Stearman for £2m .

It compares to the club making pre-tax profit of £731,000 the year before.

The trickle-down effect of  the bumper TV rights deal  meant Wolves received a bigger slice of money directly from the league and the club increased its commercial income - normally sponsorship money - by £200,000 in the year.

That helped turnover increase to £27.25m from £26.4m the previous year despite the average home league attendance falling to 20,157 out of a capacity of 31,700 fans.

This was the last year Wolves received a so-called "parachute payment" to ease the financial hardship of relegation from the more lucrative Premier League. The impact of  Chinese conglomerate Fosun International's takeover  of the club will not be seen until next year's accounts are published.

Inmates at a Black Country prison say they are so scared of other prisoners they want to be locked in their cells to stay safe . 

Today a report has condemned conditions at HMP Featherstone as "shocking" compared to its last inspection in 2013.

Alex will take over from current host Adrian Goldberg who told listeners on air this morning that he is leaving the show in two weeks’ time to concentrate on his growing range of programmes on national radio.

Born-and-raised in Walsall, veteran radio DJ Alex said: “I was brought up around here on a diet of Aynuk and Ayli jokes and world-class music from the likes of local blokes like ELO. 

"It’s great to be back home in a job I love, talking to my favourite kind of people every day. Adrian is a brilliant broadcaster who I know will be missed. It's a great privilege to step into the biggest shoes in the West Midlands.”

Adrian said: “WM is my 'home' station. I'll still be listening every day. I'm going to miss my daily connection with the listeners but I've got a young family and with my other radio work developing nationally, I also want to spend precious time with the kids who I just don't see enough at the moment. 

"Alex is a fantastic broadcaster who'll be working alongside a top team and he'll be a great replacement."

Violence against staff has increased at a prison subject to riots last summer, an inspection report has said .

Chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, said there had been a "shocking worsening in standards" at HMP Featherstone, near Wolverhampton.

The unannounced inspection found levels of violence, particularly against staff, had increased.

Two thirds of prisoners said it was easy to obtain drugs, with a fifth admitting they had developed a drug problem while inside.

The decline is not acceptable but reflects pressures, a spokesman said.

We understand Birmingham City are appealing Paul Robinson's red card from Friday night's derby win over Wolves at Molineux.

A Redditch mum who has had an eating disorder for most her life says GPs need better training to spot the signs. 

It comes after a report published by BEAT the charity shows that three out of 10 people with the illness did not receive a referral to a mental health service once they had seen their GP. 

Nikki Petrie, aged 50, says she was only diagnosed six years ago and her family have coped with her "refusing food and being very deceptive about what food she was eating".

Michelin star chef Glynn Purnell may have helped put Birmingham on the culinary map but those areas covered by a West Midlands elected mayor - and the fact there is an election at all - seem to be far less clear to voters.

He has been quizzing commuters about what they know of the vote for the person to run a newly created combined authority - or "super council".

He found people who were "in the dark" about the process in May, saying: "No one seemed to have a clue about the election or the fact that we're getting an elected mayor."
