Wolves were trashed 4-0 by Everton in the latest Premier League encounter which raised questions about Gary O’Neil’s future. The match also revealed a weakness of Wolves as they have failed to prevent the Everton forwards from scoring and have conceeded through corners.
The Wolves had their main players such as, Santiago Bueno, Craig Dawson and Mario Lemina active on the pitch but they could not stop a spirited Everton team from taking their opportunities with the ease. Even the final score line of 4-0 was indicative of the poor display by Wolves meant a much worse score line was in the offing.
Lack of victory has triggered pressure on O’Neil to leave the team, as the fans have been dissatisfied with the team’s performance in recent games. “You’re getting sacked in the morning” could be heard around the stadium as the pressure on O’Neil continued to build.
The latest debacle on the pitch has fuelled further rumour mills regarding O’Neil’s chances of receiving the boot soon, if not already; fans have called on Fosun, the receivers of the club, to act. The recent poor showing against Everton has only heightened fears for the team under O’Neil, with many fans insisting on the necessity of a manager replacement.
With call for O’Neil’s sack rising, directors in Shrewsbury have been linked to other candidates such as David Moyes and Sergio Conceicao. However, the best time to time for the Wolves to make a decision on the future of O’Neil is now since the team’s performance has not shown any improvement under him.
