Gary O'Neil has been sacked by Wolves after their 2-1 loss against Ipswich ended in ugly scenes at Molineux, and the team winless in four games, four points from safety. Saturday's clash saw Wolves claw back a goal after the visitors went ahead after 15 minutes via an own goal by Matt Doherty, but fall late on when Jack Clarke's corner was converted with ease by team-mate Jack Taylor.

Both Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha were caught up in a scuffles at full-time, with the former dragged down the tunnel after being restrained by Craig Dawson, with the atmosphere already toxic after fans chanted against chairman Jeff Shi and the Fosun ownership.

Mail Sport understands that the defeat was seen by officials as a new low and that the problems after the game, similar to those that followed a defeat at West Ham, played a role in the decision. The view from within is that a change now is the best course of action as they seek to turn a disappointing season around.

In a short statement on Sunday, Shi said: 'We're very grateful to Gary for all of his effort, dedication and hard work during his time at the club, and we wish him and his team the best of luck for the future.'.
