Wolves Sack Gary O’Neil After Dismal Premier League Run
The club dismissed O’Neil following a string of poor results and internal turmoil, highlighting deeper issues with Wolves' transfer strategy and management.
- Gary O’Neil was let go after securing just three wins in 26 league matches, leaving Wolves in a precarious position near the bottom of the Premier League table.
- Wolves have conceded a league-high 40 goals this season, with defensive frailties exacerbated by the sale of key players like Max Kilman and Pedro Neto.
- Internal tensions grew as O’Neil faced criticism for squad management, tactical decisions, and alleged clashes within his backroom staff, including the brief tenure of set-piece coach Jack Wilson.
- The club's transfer strategy, focused on selling high-value talent without adequate replacements, has been criticized for fostering a short-term, individualistic ethos among players.
- Wolves' owners, Fosun Group, are under scrutiny for their decision-making, with questions raised about whether O’Neil’s dismissal came too late and what the next managerial appointment will bring.
