In episode 284 of The Wolves 77 Club, the team dives into the chaotic aftermath of Wolves' 2-1 defeat to Ipswich, a result that spelled the end for Gary O'Neil's reign at Molineux. Sam, Harry, Jack, and Baylis dissect the disappointing performance, the baffling defensive frailties, and the indiscipline that has plagued Wolves on and off the pitch.
The lads explore the timeline of O'Neil's departure, questioning whether it came too late and what went wrong under his management. Discussions turn fiery as they debate Wolves' dressing room issues, Kunha's looming suspension following his post-match altercation, and whether discipline can be restored under the incoming manager.
