Former Crystal Palace owner and ex-Premier League chairman Simon Jordan, who has insisted that seven games is too soon to judge Lage’s team, has come up against the might of Wolves fans who unleashed their anger on social media after a 4-0 home defeat by Everton.
The current talkSPORT host Jordan explained further the situation that surrounded Gary O’Neil who is currently receiving lots of criticism after the event that took place against the Toffees. Audience was also not sparing some of them even booing the players during practice sessions as well as the coach.
Speaking in the same candid manner Jordan described fans’ freedom to state their opinions which he found distasteful when chanted in the ‘sacked in the morning’ manner. He stressed, nevertheless, his distaste for such behaviour despite the fact that he too loved to criticize.
Jordan also praised O’Neil’s efforts to stabilise the Wolves after a difficult previous season which the team had undergone under Julen Lopetegui. But there are rumors that suggest that the next opportunity for the top job might go to Graham Potter; such uncertainties notwithstanding, O’Neil has had a beneficial influence on the team.
Jordan acknowledges the strengths of O’Neil the manager and the fact that he contributed to the improvement of Wolves but recent fluctuations of the results might signal the instability of his position together with fans’ reactions that undoubtedly affect the stability of the club’s manager position.
