Gary O'Neil 'could be sacked in the next week' by Wolves

Gary O’Neil could be sacked by Wolves in the next week after a disastrous start to the 2024-25 campaign.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson stated that a “poor result” could lead to Wolves cutting O’Neil before the upcoming international break.

Wolves are currently bottom of the Premier League table and are one of only two teams in the division who are yet to win a game this season.

O’Neil’s side boasts the worst defensive record in the Premier League after conceding 27 goals in their first 10 fixtures, while they were also knocked out of the EFL Cup in the third round.

Football Insider revealed that David Moyes is in line to take over at Molineux as he has been backed to deal with their defensive issues and turn the ship if results don’t improve.

Gary O’Neil is under pressure at Wolves ahead of facing Southampton

“We're in that kind of territory, aren't we,” Robinson told Football Insider.

“You know, without a win this far on into the season, it's looking more and more difficult for Wolves.

“This is a continuation of the way that they finished at the end of last season.

“Any manager that's gone this long without a decent run of results, it's unlikely that they're still in the job, owners will panic, and owners will press the button because of Premier League security and Premier League safety.

“[It’s a] huge game for them this weekend against Southampton, he's under a lot of pressure.

“The snap rock bottom without a win, with only a draw to the name, they're really struggling, in many international breaks do we see managers change.

“Actually, the big thing around Wolves is do they give Gary O'Neill those three games after the Southampton game to give them an opportunity of turning it around.

“Or do they say a poor result, a poor performance against Southampton, we changed the manager in the international break and we give a new manager a hit at three very winnable games.

“You'll certainly get answers in the next week.”
