Three reasons why Fosun could actually decide to sack Gary O’Neil if Wolves don’t beat Southampton
Wolves are still winless in the Premier League after drawing against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Wanderers drew 2-2 with the Eagles, dropping points once again from a winning position, having initially shown good character to come from a goal down to lead.
After Trevoh Chalobah opened the scoring, Wolves got their noses in front through Jorgen Strand Larsen and Joao Gomes.
But poor defending saw Marc Guehi equalise.
Wolves then perhaps got slightly fortunate at the end, as Jean-Philippe Mateta saw a goal ruled out for a foul on Jose Sa, who was deemed to have two hands on the ball.
Gary O’Neil was defiant after the game, but the Wolves manager now finds himself under big pressure.
Quite possibly, he may now have just one game to save his job. Here are three reasons Fosun could sack him if Wolves don’t beat Southampton.
It is always really important for owners to listen to the fans, and it is clear at this point that many have now turned on O’Neil.
There were chants of ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ towards O’Neil on Saturday, and the last thing the owners need is a volatile Molineux.
