Going into the Coventry game in March, the former Bournemouth coach could do no wrong, with Wolves 90 mins away from Wembley and a real chance of European football.
What followed was a fall-off not even the most pessimistic Wolves fan could imagine.
Three wins in 26 games (just one at home) and a historic club seemingly sleepwalking to relegation.
There were moments in the Ipswich game where you felt Wolves were destined for a dramatic winner, but yet again, they found a way to lose another crucial game.
The next manager who comes in has a plethora of issues to address.
Here are just a few of them coming out of the 2-1 defeat:

It’s no secret that Wolves’ squad are an emotional group of players, but there’s a difference between emotional and out of control.
These players are out of control
Jose Sa having to be restrained after a confrontation with fans at half-time during the 4-2 defeat Bournemouth was followed-up by then club captain Mario Lemina fighting with his own team-mates and coaching staff as well as Jarrod Bowen following the 2-1 loss at West Ham.
