Despite the united front being presented by the club, speculation looms over the future of head coach Gary O’Neil. As potential successors are being considered, O’Neil’s job hangs in the balance, despite being nominated for manager of the month.
With candidates being discussed and shortlists being finalized, Wolves must make a decision on O’Neil’s future before Monday’s game against West Ham. The 41-year-old may still lead the team, but the situation is less than ideal for a club in turmoil sitting 19th in the Premier League.
Wolves have been considering replacements for some time, but O’Neil’s recent success saved him from the sack. However, with his position now precarious, a decision must be made soon to avoid a prolonged limbo that could harm the team’s chances of avoiding relegation.
Chairman Jeff Shi holds the responsibility for making the final call on O’Neil’s future, and a coherent plan must be in place to ensure the team’s survival this season. Despite the sensitive nature of the situation, a press conference on Thursday brought attention to the precarious position of the head coach.
