A win over Southampton on Saturday might be enough to keep Gary O’Neil in a job but it will take extensive surgery to correct the problems that threaten to send Wolves into the Championship.
Blame it on a ferocious fixture list, blame it on rough VAR calls or blame it on losing Pedro Neto and Max Kilman, last season’s best players, in the summer.
The reality is that very few managers survive a run of one win in 20, especially when the cost of dropping out of the Premier League is so great.
