GOOD NEWS: Wolverhampton Wanderers finally set eyes on U17 Coach with similar Nuno Espirito Santos and unbeaten winning streak so Far this season to be the perfect man that will return the Club to winning ways.
Wolves and Gary O’Neil have not had the Premier League start they anticipated, as the team remains winless in their first 10 games. This poor form has inevitably led to speculation about O’Neil’s future as manager.
### Gary O’Neil Under Pressure at Wolves
The Midlands club has managed just three points so far, their latest coming in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, a match where Wolves initially trailed, took the lead, and then ended up sharing the points. Despite that draw, pressure on O’Neil continues to grow. Reports suggest he has two games to secure his job—the first against Palace and the second coming up against Southampton, just before the international break in November.
While O’Neil has the support of his players, back-to-back poor results could shift the atmosphere at Molineux. Wolves have reportedly been eyeing potential replacements, with Graham Potter and David Moyes both linked as possible candidates.
### Wolves Could Pay £2M to Hire Jimmy Thelin
According to recent reports, Wolves would need to pay £2 million to bring in Jimmy Thelin from Aberdeen, where he has been since June. Thelin, who had previously managed exclusively in Sweden, has yet to lose a league match with Aberdeen and has been impressive in his short time in Scotland, keeping Aberdeen level on points with Celtic and nine points ahead of Rangers.
Thelin, known for his 4-2-3-1 setup, has previously managed several teams in Sweden, including J-Sodra IF and Elfsborg, where he led the club in 223 matches, winning 104. Since joining Aberdeen, Thelin has overseen 17 matches, with his only loss coming in a cup game against Celtic. Wolves are reportedly monitoring Thelin closely, and his £2 million release clause could facilitate a move if O’Neil’s tenure ends.
