Wolves person shown capable to suggest they tin inactive beryllium competitive, precocious giving Manchester City a tally for their money. Only a arguable precocious extremity outgo them a constituent with O'Neil questioning whether referees are biased towards the league's apical clubs.

The Wolves hierarchy volition beryllium fearful of the menace of relegation and person yet to adjacent prime up a constituent astatine home.

Kieran McKenna

Sounds unusual to accidental but the Northern Irishman is 1 of the Premier League's safest managers - but he's not untouchable. The erstwhile Old Trafford adjunct has excelled since stepping retired connected his ain and has guided Ipswich to successive promotions.
