Wolves quickfire end of season review

- Published

The most significant moment of the season - good or bad - was...
Last summer's transfer window, which saw Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri sold, with Nelson Semedo also leaving on a free. None were replaced, with Tolu Arokodare, David Moller Wolfe, Fer Lopez, Jackson Tchatchoua and Jhon Arias failing to make an impact. Then-boss Vitor Pereira was so frustrated with the business, he regretted staying beyond the start of the season. It set up the club to fail.
The season has been a success or failure because..
More than a failure, a disaster, but one which has been coming after selling the best players for a number of years and failing to replace them. There was a misguided belief in the players brought in and, with the squad significantly weakened, there was only one way for the season to go.
The unsung hero of the season is....
Quite a difficult question, looking for heroes in a season of failure, but Wolves assistant Harry Watling does not get the credit he deserves.
If there's a player or staff member with more to do in future it is.... because...
Take your pick. Several of last summer's transfer flops are likely to be moved on. Tchatchoua has come in for particular criticism but every single player who remains from the current group must do more after the worst season in Wolves' history.
The major club issue or talking point lurking is...
Can Rob Edwards revive and revitalise the squad quickly enough over the summer to start quickly and erase the growing doubts of the fans? He has the backing of executive chairman Nathan Shi and technical director Matt Jackson but needs to produce fast results to keep the fans from revolting.
The reason for hope going forward is...
There is a real desire for change and a determination to listen and learn. Shi, Jackson and Edwards were grilled in front of 250 fans at Molineux in a forum hosted by BBC WM this month. Many clubs have, and do, pull the shutters down at times like this but the noises from the club are positive. They just need results to back it up.
