Gary O’Neil has been sacked as Wolves manager less than 24 hours after their chastening 2-1 defeat to Ipswich on Saturday.
Wolves went into that showdown knowing another loss would represent a catastrophe as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
And they ended up crashing to another defeat, with Ipswich winning the match in the 94th minute through Jack Taylor.
Tempers flared at full time, with players and fans alike left frustrated by the result. Rayan Ait-Nouri was even shown a second yellow card as he argued with the Ipswich bench.

And Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Wolves have parted ways with O’Neil.
The 41-year-old took charge of the side back in the summer of 2023 after Julen Lopetegui surprisingly opted to walk away in dramatic circumstances.
Despite Wolves losing a host of big players, O’Neil was able to guide them to a 14th-placed finish.
Yet they’ve found life far tougher this term, with the team winning just two of their 16 Premier League matches so far.

When it comes to potential replacements, several names have been linked.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was spotted watching the action unfold at Molineux yesterday, sparking suggestions he could take over.
The Norwegian has been out of work ever since leaving Manchester United back in November 2021 following a dreadful 4-0 defeat to Watford.
But Solskjaer did recently indicate that he was essentially retired from management, stressing that he doesn’t need the money in order to return to the dugout.
