Wolves are still hunting for their first Premier League win this season, managing only one point in their first seven matches. As Manchester City gets ready to visit Molineux this weekend, Gary O’Neil has stepped up to take ownership of the team’s struggles, boldly declaring, “The responsibility lies with me.”
Taking charge at the forefront, Molineux’s head honcho is willing to face criticism if the winless streak continues. With just one point in the bag from seven games, Wolverhampton Wanderers are counting on a resurgence similar to last season’s triumph over Pep Guardiola’s squad through disciplined gameplay.
O’Neil is not shying away from accountability and openly attributes his players’ on-field errors to himself, emphasizing, “I’m ready to hold the mantle. The blame falls on me. I bear full responsibility.”
Acknowledging the challenges faced by the club, O’Neil stresses, “Every on-pitch occurrence is a consequence of my decisions. I own up to Brentford’s defeat, the shaky second half against Aston Villa, and the loss against Chelsea. I take accountability for my players’ errors. They’re executing my directives, and any slip-up ultimately reflects on me.”
Despite sporadic displays of competitiveness this season, Wolves’ recent breakdown against Brentford served as a wake-up call. While receiving support from the management, O’Neil recognizes the pressing need for improvement.
Asserting his commitment, O’Neil affirms, “I will dedicate myself fully to the team and the club. If the verdict is that my efforts fall short, I will depart with no regrets, knowing I’ve given my all. Yet, that’s not the resolution we aim for. We will reverse this tide. Our players will go all out, demonstrating our prowess and proving that this season’s start was just a minor stumble against formidable opponents.”
