BREAKING 🚨 Gary O'Neil SACKED by Wolves | Reaction & 1st Thoughts

[@caringai]

Happy to see u happier now Dave but sad to say it’s unlikely to make any difference as it should have been done months ago - there will not be a Julen Lopetegui Agote effect this time as the team is weaker and in disarray - might make the relegation slightly less embarrassing though 😮 apparently Ole Gunnar Solskjær was at the Ipswich match - he would be a TOTAL nightmare and would send Wolves down even faster than O’Neil would have done - Ole Gunnar Solskjær would be a disaster. I agree with Dave - Jose Mourinho would be the answer and in my view would be ONLY one who could save Wolves PL vision.

[@peterturley1331]

Don't be absurd!

[@Carlos-Mendes81]

The special one! Would love to see him at wolves

[@AlwaysWolves]

he was there to watch his mate at Ipswich

[@Markcooper1971]

Gon should have gone 2 months ago but the question now is what direction does this ownership want to take because the current running of this club ain't working no more

yep

[@DeanoWWFC]

So who is coming in. Big Sam 😂. It went down hill when Fabio was purchased when he wasn’t wanted by Nuno. Nuno then wanted additional funds to go forward and the board said no and sacked the best manager we’ve had in decades.

Nuno’s doing really well at Forest. Why on earth was O’Neil given a new contract in the summer?

[@AlwaysWolves]

yep

Wolves have had some right cowboys in charge since Sir Jack. The Scouse brickie was awful, this Fosun mob are awful. Hobbs shouldnt be in the job neither should Shi. The Fosun policy has scared the managers of quality away.

[@peterturley1331]

Spot on.

[@AlwaysWolves]

ok

[@DeanoWWFC]

Apparently Nuno had a striker target said to be around 35 million and it wasn’t sanctioned, Nuno then said more than he should have but he was right in saying it.

[@AlwaysWolves]

much more to it

[@paintedbymatthew]

I wonder what tipped the scales? The result? The players kicking off? Fans targeting Jeff Shi in the stands, prompting him to actually act? You know what? I don't actually care! He's gone, and I'm so relieved!

[@hypermap]

I want Wolves to long term do well, my personal dream is they top Man Utd at the end of a PL season. The problem is will the club/current team/current place in the PL table half way through the season be attractive to an experienced PL level manager & does the club owners have the will & funds to buy better players in the January transfer window when the team is in this state … I think the owners probably rather cash in on the parachute payment n join the 1st division with a 1st division level manager n some new players where the team is weak, tbh it may not be the manager (I have no idea / don’t watch enough) n they may have been better holding on to him into relegation/the 1st division? Will the players Wolves need from the January transfer window want to move to relegation zone Wolves? (& the delights of Wolverhampton n the West Midlands conurbation)

[@caringai]

Totally agree - No quality players would want to join a relegation battle in January unless a manager like José Mourinho joins

[@AlwaysWolves]

if only

[@robertwilson8965]

Nice bloke but to nice for our squad who are still under achieving. The fosun model that runs our business needs questioning, but Lop’s decision looks wise now with hindsight. The finger should point at Shi since he sacked nuno it has been downhill all the way. If they can get Moyes then he is a proper manager with good experience and backed with cash they might have a chance.

[@AlwaysWolves]

good points

[@neilharryjones]

He was a poor appointment, we went from A top class manager in Lopetegui to a Bournemouth back room B grade manager, I would only accept Moyes if he was bought in only until the end of the season

[@simonstockley1967]

Started following wolves under Nuno. Wasnt a wolves fan but football was exciting with Adama, Jiminy, Neves, Kilman, Neto and Docherty as a fine attacking wing back. Recently thought they had turned a corner but bad 2 rezults. A change is right, there seems to be a breakdown. They arent marooned at the bottom. They have some excellent players. Just need a couple in January. Keep the faith. Kiddy fan.

Right I’m a Everton fan. Kinda like Wolves, and kinda sad listening to all stuff recently what’s going on. O’Neill reminds me of Frank Lampard at Everton. Players liked him, he liked the players but wasn’t ruthless enough in the end. Let the players leave early from training, was more pals than managing them. Dyche has came inf football is rough but we’ve been brought back to earth. I think, Moyes will do a job. West Ham showing, took West Ham from 18th to staying up, next season European football. Moyes is the right man for you, Sergio Conceiao is to high expectation for you lot right now. No chance

[@peterturley1331]

Moyes no chance too mate.

Just subscribed, as a Wolves fan for over 4 decades, I am over the moon O’Neil is gone. My doubts is on Fosun and Shi. Whose idea was it to sell Kilman, Neto, Jota and many more great players and not replace them with better players? Do you think it’s time they go too?

[@AlwaysWolves]

thanks for subscribing mate means alot, dont forget to hit the bell notifications

[@midge225]

Where would we have been in the league without VAR , most decisions seem to go against us which is always going to reflect on the manager , we dont have a strong squad or a big squad so Gary was always going to take the fall. The board need to take a good look at themselves and take their share of the blame

Right decision. GON has lost all control, judgement and authority. Players not performing, and now they need a good kicking. But let us not forget Jeff Shi and Fosun's role in this calamity.

It’s too late now, the damage has been done over the last 3 seasons. Fosuns penny pinching policy has seen to that. No investment in the team, no investment in the stadium, season ticket prices going up etc. I hope Jeff has started doing his benchmarking against the likes of Plymouth, Preston etc ready for next season. Ait Nouri now suspended and GON said I’ve now got to find someone to play left back, they had Hugo Bueno but some clown decided to loan him out

The rot started the day Nuno walked away because they refused to back him to move us on from 3 7th places an Europa success an fa semi final simple as that Nuno stuck to his guns and fosun showed there true colours the frustrating thing is they backed large look at forest backed manager had 4 points deducted an still up there could have been just 4 points behind Liverpool with no dedication wow

[@JUVELYNRAGASARick]

Those players we have left most of them couldnt hit a barn door. Lamina, j. Gomes, andre are all 2 simillar players. Our midfield needs 2 change. We need more attacking minded midfielders and not 3 defensive midfielders on the same pitch. Doyle should start as he's attack minded and doesnt always play side ways or backwards. And guedes needs 2 start as almost everytime he plays he's involved in a goal. Fosun need 2 go and go NOW !!!!!!
