Wolves chase first Premier League win as leadership and recruitment questions bite
Wolves have yet to win a Premier League game this season.
Now eleven league matches without a victory have piled pressure on the club.
The club dismissed Vítor Pereira after a run of poor results.
A relegation fight now looks plausible after years in the top flight.
The root issue, supporters say, is selling your best players and failing to replace them adequately.
That strategy has left the squad light and short of quality in several areas.
The decline mirrors Wolves’ troubles in the 1980s when they slipped from the First Division to the Fourth.
They had a League Cup win in 1980, a rare high point amid rising woes.
The late 1970s spending on the John Ireland Stand drained finances and contributed to the slide.
Debt rose to £2.5m and relegation looked likely as 1981-82 closed.
Wolves were minutes from going out of business that summer.
Today the club faces similar headaches about recruitment and budget.
Fans fear the current trend could rewrite a familiar, painful chapter.
Wolves hope lessons from the past might now guide urgent decisions.
TLDR
- Wolves have not won in the Premier League this season
- Vítor Pereira was dismissed as manager
- The club faces relegation risk and echoes a painful 1980s decline
