Gary O’Neil Reflects on Wolves’ 4-0 Defeat to Everton

Following Wolves’ 4-0 defeat against Everton, manager Gary O’Neil stated: “Whatever the fans think of me, there is definitely nobody working harder than me and I will continue to do so until someone tells me not to.” He expressed his gratitude for the supporters, saying: “I go over there to see them because I appreciate every one of the Wolves fans. They have given me unbelievable support since I arrived at the football club. We managed to produce some unbelievable stuff last season with a team that was heavily tipped by most of the nation for relegation. We managed to enjoy it together.” Acknowledging the current challenges, O’Neil added: “Now it is tough. I was happy to go over there and look them right in the face and take any criticism they want to throw at me.” The manager took accountability for the situation, stating: “I accept responsibility for my part in that. Whatever criticism they want to throw at me will not change how I feel about them.” He called for increased effort from the entire club, affirming: “Everyone at this football club needs to do more. We will get back to be ready to fight again on Monday [against West Ham].” O’Neil concluded by reaffirming his commitment and confidence in his ability to lead the team: “I will work with everything I have. I will back myself to get the most out of the group. I understand the drive for change [but] you never know how much of a percentage of supporters it is.”
