The pressure may be mounting on Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O’Neil after his side’s damaging loss at West Ham, but he remains inistent that he can turn the club’s fortunes around.
Monday’s 2-1 defeat at London Stadium was Wolves’ third in a row and leaves them second bottom of the Premier League, four points from safety.
This was a game that started with both managers fighting to hold on to their jobs and while the situation has eased somewhat for Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui, O’Neil’s future remains uncertain.
The Wolves manager pointed to “four big decisions” going against his side on Monday and a transfer strategy that has left them relying on youth – but insisted everyone was committed to helping the club stay in the Premier League.
“I am not concerned,” O’Neil told BBC Sport when he was asked about his position.
“I am really proud of the group and everything they have given me. I can only ask them to give them their best.”
The Wolves boss is confident that he still has the support of his players, despite the club’s position.
“We won’t give up and we’ll keep pushing,” he added on Sky Sports.
