Wolverhampton winless and facing worst-ever Premier League tag? | OneFootball

Wolverhampton are bottom of the Premier League and host West Ham on Saturday at 16:00. L'Équipe notes a winless campaign is steering them towards a worst-ever tag.

They have 3 points from 19 matches and are 19 without a win in this league campaign, both unwanted records. Their last league victory was on 26 April 2025, 3-0 against Everton. Since then 252 days have passed, three managers and two sporting directors have come and gone, and 48 goals shipped.

Derby County’s 11-point finish in 2007-08 remains the mark to avoid. Danny Taylor said it would be a supreme embarrassment if Wolves set a new record and that their current pace could end the jibe aimed at Derby. Derby supporter Lynn Hemsworth would welcome another club taking that tag but is not convinced it will be Wolves.

Scott Minto, the former Chelsea and West Ham defender, felt extending Vitor Pereira was a mistake and called Rob Edwards’s mid-November appointment a positive. He cited progress, from a 1-2 at Arsenal on 13 December to a 1-1 at Manchester United on Tuesday. Statistically, he said, Wolves could be the worst, yet he does not think so and even fears their first win might come against his old club this weekend.

Wolves rose after promotion in 2017-18 and became top-half regulars. A transfer policy shaped by agent Jorge Mendes, leaning on trading, has weakened the squad in the last two seasons. There are suggestions shareholder Fosun International could step back this summer.
