Wolves’ season started off on a precarious note and things only went downhill from there with a disappointing 5-3 defeat against Brentford. The loss sparked calls from supporters for Fosun to consider leaving the club amidst growing frustration. Manager Gary O’Neil didn’t mince words as he described the match as the worst he’s experienced in his coaching career. Sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table with just one point from seven games, Wolves are facing a serious crisis.
Despite the board’s backing of O’Neil, concerns about the team’s future in the league are beginning to circulate around Molineux. With just one win in their last 17 matches in the top flight, Wolves are in urgent need of a turnaround. Darren Ambrose, who played alongside O’Neil in his career, sympathizes with the Wolves boss and acknowledges the tough start to the season. However, he also insists that improvements must be made if Wolves are to avoid relegation alongside teams like Leicester and Southampton.
Looking ahead, the upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Wolves’ survival in the Premier League. While facing Manchester City post-international break poses a tough challenge, the matches against Crystal Palace, Southampton, Fulham, and Bournemouth provide an opportunity to secure much-needed points. O’Neil’s job may be at risk if the team fails to capitalize on these winnable games. The next few months will be season-defining for Wolves, and the pressure is on O’Neil to navigate through this challenging period successfully and win back the faith of the supporters.
