Exclusive: Wolves Manager Gary O’Neil ‘Under No Pressure At All’ – Detail.
Gary O’Neil is under pressure at Molineux as a result of the Wolverhampton Wanderers’ string of disappointing losses and crushing setbacks during the past month. However, sources close to GIVEMESPORT have disclosed that, despite criticism from the public and media for their recent bad performance, the club is happy with the way the player is performing since he recently inked a new long-term contract.
Wolves’ season has seen just one victory out of six competitive games, that coming in the previous round against Championship team Burnley. This loss occurred in the League Cup against fellow Premier League team Brighton.
O’Neil Says Wolves Will be Second Favourites
The gaffer isn’t overly confident of picking up results
Only Everton and Southampton’s terrible records in the league so far this season has kept Wolves from being rooted to the bottom of the top-flight table – and it’s seen some unrest directed at O’Neil.

In a press conference held following the 3-2 setback on the south coast, the Wolves manager scarcely inspired confidence in the supporters. After the match, the former Bournemouth coach said that Wolves will be the underdog in a lot of games this season, which might be very detrimental to their next games..
Sources: Wolves Have No Intent of O’Neil Exit
The Midlands outfit are content with his reign
Despite having a sluggish start to life in the Premier League this season, O’Neil is not under any pressure to lose his job, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
The Englishman is well-liked in the Black Country and, having recently inked a new three-year contract, is viewed as a long-term appointment at Molineux. He joined the team last summer when Julen Lopetegui left due to differences with the Molineux board.
The club looks at the current season in isolation because it is a brand-new group with new values and does not view Wolves’ “14-game-long” run of form as negative, despite Sky Sports stating that he has not been at his best.
On paper, their opening three games of the season have been difficult, as they have faced Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United; nevertheless, they did manage to pick up a point away at Nottingham Forest. Nonetheless, O’Neil will probably be evaluated based on his performances in games played after that stretch of the season, as they have three of their next four games against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Villa.
Wolves Still Have a Huge Survival Chance
Even though Wolves could have and should have won against Newcastle this past weekend, they were always going to struggle in those first few games and still have plenty of time to make amends and stay in the race.
The sales of Max Kilman and Pedro Neto this summer have somewhat reduced their roster, but Andre’s arrival is a coup and will more than make up for their two losses.
Everton, the perennial powerhouse of the Premier League, has had a terrible start to life in the top division, but there is always a potential that other clubs could get promoted. Other clubs projected to be involved in the relegation battle are the three promoted teams in Ipswich Town, Southampton, and Leicester City.
