Wolves’ hard-fought unity under Gary O’Neil is unravelling as internal conflicts and poor discipline compound a disastrous season.
A last-minute defeat to Ipswich Town at Molineux, sealed by Jack Taylor’s injury-time header, left Wolves second from bottom and four points adrift of safety.
Tempers flared after the match, with Rayan Ait-Nouri sent off in the tunnel, Matheus Cunha clashing with Ipswich’s security, and frustration spilling into the stands as fans turned their anger toward chairman Jeff Shi and owners Fosun.
Despite the chaos, O’Neil remains largely supported by fans, who see the club’s deeper structural issues as the primary source of Wolves’ decline.
O’Neil, who initially unified the team after his last-minute appointment, now faces mounting pressure from poor results, discipline issues, and defensive fragility, with half of the team’s 40 conceded goals coming from set pieces.
He criticised his players for lapses in judgment and vowed to enforce stricter discipline, noting the impact of Ait-Nouri’s suspension for next week’s critical match against Leicester.
Meanwhile, rumours of potential replacements, including former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, loom over O’Neil.
