It didn't help that Wolves have lost their last four home games, three of them (counting the FA Cup third-round replay with Birmingham City of the League Championship) to West Midlands rivals. The final blow obviously was Sunday's debacle against West Brom.
14 points (out of a possible 66) from their last 22 league games could not do wonders for your job security.
Anyhow, they will have two weeks to find a replacement.
Rafe Benitez, anyone? Well, maybe not.
Another postmortem.
And still another one.

They Play Like....
They prefer life in the League Championship:
Liverpool are in so carefree mood at present that they scarcely seemed to notice their hosts. That will be as disturbing for Wolverhampton Wanderers as the result itself because it entrenches the dread that they simply lack the talent necessary to avoid falling from the Premier League. The substitute Sylvan Ebanks-Blake did hit the post, but his side were 3-0 down by then, with Dirk Kuyt having taken the final goal with an excellent shot from an angle on the right.
There was a contrast between these sides that involved more than the obvious superiority of Liverpool's means. This match was of the utmost gravity for Wolves, as every fixture must be if they are to escape relegation. The visitors, industrious as they were, could never share in that sort of mood and the manager Kenny Dalglish had even given Steven Gerrard the night off.
Mick McCarthy must be replaced as manager due haste. My thinking is that if these clowns fall out of the English Premier League, it may be a long, long time, if ever, before they return to the top flight. There's not much question that the current ownership at Wolves are way over their heads. This makes a good advertisement for those who are pushing the idea of doing away with promotion and relegation.
Correction. Make that the English Conference National.

Wolverhampton's Indianapolis Colts Impersonation
Let's be thankful that Wolves did not get any kind of points reduction, considering that they're currenty fighting to make sure they don't return to the League Championship next season.
