Exclusive: Wolves dressing room stance on Gary O'Neil revealed
Gary O’Neil has the support of both the Wolves dressing room and hierarchy, sources have told Football Insider.
It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Midlands club, who currently sit bottom of the Premier League table.
Wolves have made a winless start to the campaign, which continued last Saturday (5 October) against Brentford.
However, it was the manner of the 5-3 loss that did set alarm bells ringing within the club about O’Neil’s future.
The squad remains behind the 41-year-old manager despite the heavy loss, and the club remains confident that he’s the right man to move them up the table.
Wolves will not make any kneejerk reactions regarding his long-term future, with O’Neil not expected to be sacked in the immediate future.
Gary O’Neil’s track record is helping him at Wolves
Sources tell Football Insider that O’Neil has “credit in the bank” due to what he’s already achieved at the football club.
With the squad still behind him the club is hopeful that results will begin to turn around after the international break.
The Wolves hierarchy are also aware it has been a difficult period due to the club selling Max Kilman and Pedro Neto in the summer transfer window.
No team have conceded more goals than Wolves so far this season, with the team boasting a -12 goal difference.
O’Neil’s side will face Man City on their return to action after the international break on 20 October.
