'Wolves have looked poor from day one'

- Published

Chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.
Nick (an utterly miserable Wolves fan) asked: Do you agree that Wolves are pretty much down? Our owners' plan to simply be better than the promoted sides has finally backfired.
Phil answered: I feel your pain.
I'm afraid I did predict trouble ahead for Wolves this season - relegation in fact - and I've seen nothing to change my mind. They lost such crucial players in Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, so hard to replace.
Wolves have looked poor from day one and I must admit I was surprised Vitor Pereira was given a new three-year contract, so soon into the season, in September, although this current crisis is not all down to him as he has seen his two best players sold.
It is never a good look when you see scenes like altercations between Pereira and fans, as we did when they lost to Burnley, and such unrest between supporters and owners. It is a clear sign of problems.
Wolves is a great old club with Premier League pedigree, but they are in real trouble.
