Despite a feeling of frustration after missing out on European qualification, Wolves under Gary O’Neil are set for another season of progress. Their 14th place finish seemed harsh after a strong start to the campaign. However, it was still a positive debut season for O’Neil, especially considering the challenges of having to sell players last summer to comply with financial rules.
The upcoming 2024-25 season will see three of their first six games played at home against tough opponents like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle. But Wolves are not daunted by the challenge. Under O’Neil’s leadership, they have become a unified team, and talks of a new contract for him have been ongoing since March. The club’s sporting director, Matt Hobbs, has expressed confidence that a new deal will be reached.
Last season, Wolves achieved victories over top teams like Chelsea and Tottenham as well as a win against eventual champions Manchester City. They also had draws against Aston Villa and Newcastle. Despite rumors about star player Pedro Neto’s future, there is no pressure to sell him and the recent signing of Rodrigo Gomes from Braga for £12.7m demonstrates the club’s commitment to supporting the manager and the team.
