Exclusive: Gary O’Neil Clings to Wolves Job by a Thread as West Ham Clash Becomes Do-or-Die – Desperate Boss Already Scrambling to Finalise His Lineup

Gary O’Neil’s position as Wolverhampton Wanderers manager is under intense scrutiny following back-to-back humiliating defeats to Bournemouth and Everton, conceding four goals in each match. Despite the pressure, TBR Football reports that O’Neil will be given at least one more chance to prove himself, with Wolves set to face West Ham United next.Wolves appeared to have turned a corner with consecutive victories against Southampton and Fulham, but the recent performances have left the club’s hierarchy deeply frustrated.

The 4-0 thrashing at Goodison Park was particularly concerning, as Wolves’ defensive frailties and poor finishing saw them undone by a clinical Everton side.The Wolves board have reportedly discussed O’Neil’s future but, for now, remain willing to back their manager, hoping for an improved display against West Ham. Intriguingly, the London Stadium clash pits O’Neil against former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui, who himself is facing mounting pressure in the West Ham dugout.After leaving Wolves last season, Lopetegui has struggled to deliver results in East London despite significant financial backing.

His side sits only six points above Wolves, and his position was recently the subject of a meeting among West Ham’s hierarchy following a disappointing loss to Ipswich Town. While Lopetegui narrowly survived that review, both managers could be fighting for their jobs come Monday.O’Neil, however, remains publicly unfazed by the speculation surrounding his future. Speaking after the Everton defeat, he expressed confidence in his work but acknowledged the importance of results.“I have zero concerns over my role and future as a coach,” O’Neil said. “I know how hard I work and I’m comfortable with the work I do, but of course, I want results to improve.

I understand results will decide how long I stay at Wolves.”With both O’Neil and Lopetegui walking a fine line, Monday’s showdown at the London Stadium could be pivotal. A defeat for either side may open the door to yet another managerial change in the Premier League.
