In a season of uncertainty for Wolverhampton Wanderers, there have been only two constants: finding themselves in the lower reaches of the Premier League, and similarly in the Football Association’s bad books.
For three seasons under Nuno Espirito Santo, there was a case to be made that Wolves were the most boring top-flight team. And that is not meant negatively. Under the pragmatic Portuguese, they were solid rather than spectacular, achieving back-to-back seventh placed finishes and at worst, a mid-table slump.
That changed with the departure of Nuno, although his successor Bruno Lage would hardly draw the biggest crowds with his press conferences. But after the appointment of the fiery Julen Lopetegui, Wolves are becoming big news - despite not all of it being positive.
