Gary O’Neil’s early progress at Wolves is now teetering on the brink. A 2-1 injury-time loss to relegation rivals Ipswich Town at Molineux has intensified frustrations both on and off the pitch.
Jack Taylor’s last-gasp winner was the dagger Wolves fans feared. This crushing blow followed a chaotic few weeks for the club. Mario Lemina’s incident at West Ham led to him being stripped of the captaincy, while tensions spilled over when Jose Sa argued with fans after the Bournemouth clash.

Against Ipswich Town, Wolves’ discipline unravelled. Rayan Ait-Nouri’s tunnel dismissal for a second yellow card summed up the chaos. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha’s scuffle with Ipswich security, culminating in him ripping a staff member’s glasses off, added to the farce. Wolves’ disarray deepened further as striker Liam Delap was dragged into the aftermath.
Wolves now sit second-bottom, four points adrift of safety. While anger echoed around Molineux, supporters refrained from turning on O’Neil. Instead, the focus shifted to chairman Jeff Shi and owners Fosun. The issues at Wolves clearly run far deeper than the manager.
Wolves face a pivotal moment. Unity, once a hallmark of O’Neil’s leadership, is now fractured. Without swift action, their Premier League survival hopes look increasingly bleak.
