Ominous End for Gary ONeil as Wolves Suffer Yet Another Dismal Home Defeat

By a margin of two goals to one, Wolverhampton Wanderers were left reeling following their home defeat to Ipswich, marking what would ultimately be the final blow to Gary ONeils tenure as head coach. Second from the bottom in the table, the loss saw Wolves part ways with the beleaguered coach, as the side continues to struggle in the lower rungs of the competition. ONeils sacking brings to a close an inglorious chapter in the clubs history as fans look to a brighter future under new management.

Wolves next home defeat began innocently enough. After all, this particular fixture against lowly Ipswich did indeed promise to be a turning point for the struggling outfit. However, it was instead more of the same, and as the curtain fell, so too did ONeils tenure. Any hopes of redemption were soon quashed with each successive Ipswich goal. Ipswich could be pleased with the much-needed three points as they found themselves attempting to get back to winning ways.

According to the club board, who until very recently had been steadfast in their support for ONeil and indeed the rest of his backroom staff, the writing has been on the wall for a considerable amount of time. Gary ONeils future at the club had grown increasingly uncertain in the face of some very underwhelming performances both on and off the field. Finally, days prior and following a heartbreaking loss to Ipswich, enough proved to be enough, as the Wolves dugout suddenly found itself thrust into crisis mode.

One Wolves player claimed, The club hierarchy was left with little choice but to get rid of Gary following his very regrettable tenure. Obviously we were aware that Ipswich posed a threat, still felt pretty confident going into our fixture though - although that swiftly turned to panic, in addition to one Wolves fan saying, Truth be told ONeil needed to be sacked ages ago." Unfortunately it still sends shockwaves throughout the various Wolves faithful who made ONeil their choice to succeed in what has quickly turned into something of a calamitous period in recent months.
