Wolves are sticking with Gary O’Neil for now – but those at Molineux are preparing to make a change if need be. After a dreadful start to the 2024/25 campaign – which has involved six defeats and one draw – the Old Gold find themselves bottom of the Premier League after seven games.
TBR Football understand Wolves will give O’Neil time to turn the situation around, with Fosun acknowledging that the 41-year-old was not sufficiently backed in the transfer market.
However, those in the boardroom at Molineux are also willing to print out a P45 for the man from Beckenham if results do not improve, with two names already being considered
Wolves monitoring Jimmy Thelin as potential Gary O’Neil replacement A story from The Sun now states that Wolves are considering Jimmy Thelin as a replacement for Gary O’Neil – after his stunning start to life at Aberdeen. The 46-year-old has been a revelation in Scotland since taking charge of The Dons back in April, winning all seven of his Scottish Premiership games in charge to sit level at the summit with Celtic.
As a result, Thelin is being called the new Sir Alex Ferguson – seeing as the Manchester United legend also saw his managerial career take off at Aberdeen.
The Sun claim that David Moyes is also an option for Wolves if O’Neil is sacked.
What Wolves insiders have to say about Gary O’Neil amid Jimmy Thelin connections TBR Football has reached out to our sources within the Wolves, and they have offered an insightful analysis of this story, emphasizing that there is currently no truth to any links to Thelin and that everyone at Molineux is dedicated to giving O’Neil time to lead Wolves through this difficult spell.
As things stand, Wolves are not even considering a switch in the dugout, but should poor results continue after the international break, that outlook could change.
If Thelin is selected to take O’Neil’s position, the Wolves players shouldn’t have too much trouble modifying their formation. With just a minor adjustment, O’Neil’s 4-1-4-1 structure may be transformed into the 4-2-3-1 style adopted by the Swede this season.
According to rumors, O’Neil may even switch up his lineup shortly and go back to a five-man defense. The Londoner won over Wolves supporters during the 2023–24 season; perhaps he can repeat that success at Molineux.
