GARY O'NEIL LEAVES WOLVES FOLLOWING A LONG RUN OF DEFEATS
Wolves have officially parted ways with Gary O’Neil after a string of poor performances left the club struggling in the Premier League. Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town marked their 11th loss in 16 games this season, leaving the team 19th in the table, four points from safety.
O’Neil, who signed a four-year deal in August, gained praise last season for guiding Wolves to a solid 14th-place finish, including memorable victories against Manchester City, Chelsea, and West Bromwich Albion. However, this season’s collapse, including 40 goals conceded in just 16 matches, proved too much for the club to overlook.
Dressing room unrest, including clashes between players and coaching staff, further compounded the challenges during his tenure. The decision to strip Mario Lemina of the captaincy exemplified the mounting tensions.
O’Neil’s contributions, particularly his role in some memorable wins, will be remembered, but Wolves now face the pressing challenge of bouncing back under new management. Their next game against Leicester City becomes a crucial one for their survival battle.
Media reports suggest Wolves have a replacement lined up ready to take over before Leicester. Who would you like to see take the helm?
