Wolves were soundly beaten at home to Leicester and it looks increasingly as though their problems run deeper than just the (lack of) manager twoht
It was, all told, a strange afternoon at Molineux, but the home crowd didn’t seem in the mood for complexity as the Wolves players left the pitch to a cacophony of booing and jeering from the stands.
But the final score didn’t care for wouldas or shouldas concerning the number of shots on target taken by each team.
This is unsurprising. After all, prior to his arrival at the club he hadn’t played for anybody since terminating his contract with Atletico Mineiro in January. He came close a couple of times against Leicester, but if he was signed as a quick fix the repair work hasn’t quite started yet. Was he anywhere near match fit when they signed him? Is he now?
Well okay, fine. It’s possible that Sellars could be a scapegoat for structural issues that have been well beyond his control. But if that is the case, then the buck surely has to stop with Shi, because it has to stop somewhere. What is clearly unacceptable and cannot continue is the lack of coordination, with nobody seeming to take overall responsibility for the way in which the club is being run and resolving what is going wrong.
Might they be persuaded to sell up if a reasonable offer is made? If that idea was on their radar, they might be advised to get on with it, since the value of the club would fall precipitously with relegation from the Premier League. Even this all comes with the obvious caveat that new owners can be worse than those you already have, but that’s a reflection on modern football club ownership really.
