Winless Wolves are breaking records - but how bad can things get?
- Published
It has been 227 days, three managers, two sporting directors, one technical director and 41 goals conceded since Wolves last won in the Premier League.
Rooted to the bottom with just two points and 13 away from safety, their top flight future looks bleak as they are already guaranteed to be bottom of the table on Christmas Day.
Monday's 4-1 loss at home to Manchester United was their eighth-straight league defeat, their longest losing top flight run in the Premier League era and equalling their all-time top flight run of defeats from 1981-82.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's first-half equaliser was just their first league goal since 26 October.
Wolves' haul of only two points this season is the joint-lowest tally after 15 games of a campaign in the history of the top four tiers.
Angry Wolves fans boycotted the opening 15 minutes against United to protest against Fosun's running of the club - they might have wished they stayed outside.
"I understand the frustration," said manager Rob Edwards. "I won't tell fans what to do.
"I'd love them to support the players but they have to see effort and commitment in return. Mistakes were punished tonight and that filtered through. There was an anger in the stadium. The lads are trying. The supporters are angry and I get it.
"It's the toughest league in the world and we came into a team who hadn't won since April. I wasn't anticipating a quick turnaround."
Relegation to the Championship is becoming almost an inevitability with Derby County's Premier League low of 11 points under serious threat, so will Wolves avoid becoming the worst team?
