Wolves next manager odds after Gary O'Neil exit including former Man Utd boss
Wolves are in the hunt for a new manager and have a big decision to make
Wolves have sacked Gary O’Neil following their 2-1 loss at home to Ipswich Town. The Midlands outfit are currently sat in the relegation zone in the Premier League.
Speaking after their defeat to the Tractor Boys, O’Neil said: “It’s a big blow. A big blow for the group, especially with how much it took for us to get ourselves in the game and be the better side for the whole of the second half. It's a big blow, because the lads, as you see, were at maximum. We got every last drop out of them to get ourselves in that position where we looked like, and I felt like, we'd go on to win the game, and then to suffer a goal that late.
“The nature of the two goals are crazy for this level, which we've said too many times this year. I can help them and protect them from a lot of things, but a centre-back booting the ball high for Liam Delap to just run through, he’d have scored that goal in his under-18s loads of times when he was bigger and stronger than everyone, and he just ran through and moved people out the way.
“That shouldn't happen at Premier League level. Then there was unbelievably bad decision making from a corner, from players deciding to switch positions for no reason that cost us at the end, but that’s my responsibility. I’m really gutted because it took a lot to get us to that point today, and the subs made a big impact. The change in the shape and the structure made a big impact, and then we have nothing to show for it.”
Wolves now have a big decision to make on who to bring in next as they look to avoid relegation to the Championship. Here is a look at the bookies’ favourites...
