Whereas many supporters may understandably be annoyed with Wolves’ struggles underneath O’Neil, it’s refreshing to see the membership’s board standing by him and nonetheless him as the suitable man for the job.
There’s a stage of impatience that exists within the trendy recreation which means managers get sacked far faster than they used to, but when Wanderers imagine their present boss is the right particular person to take them into the longer term, there should not be too massive an overreaction to their begin to the marketing campaign.
