Wolves have only earned 2 points in 14 Premier League matches. / Instagram Wolves Wolves, the laughing stock of Europe, a tragedy of a team moved by Jorge Mendes: worst place despite €140m investment, 8 hours without scoring. After securing survival last season with a 17-point gap from the relegation zone, Wolves boldly entered the transfer market this season with ambitions of stability and higher goals. In that vein, they invested around €140 million for reinforcements like Sasa Kalajdzic, Boubacar Traoré, Gonçalo Guedes, Matheus Nunes, and Hee-chan Hwang. However, reality couldn't be further from that. Wolves have become a laughing stock in the Premier League, and indeed in European football as a whole. The season started under Bruno Lage, but their dismal league form led to his dismissal, with Steve Cooper appointed to steer the team in a new direction. Spoiler alert: nothing changed. Steve Cooper, the new Wolves manager / @Wolves Wolves suffered yet another defeat this Wednesday against Nottingham Forest, marking their seventh consecutive loss in the Premier League and elimination from the EFL Cup. Currently, Wolves sit dead last in the league with just 2 points after 14 matches. Their only points so far have come against Tottenham and Brighton. The situation is a cliffhanger for Wolves. The gap to the relegation zone is 12 points, and a somber atmosphere hangs over the team. Since Cooper's arrival, the team has shown little to no improvement. With three straight losses under the Welshman, eyes are once again turning to yet another managerial change. However, for now, he is expected to be given the trust to turn this disastrous situation around. When comparing Wolves to the bottom teams in other major leagues, the situation becomes even more dire. Wolves have just 2 points, but Hellas Verona, bottom of Serie A, has 6 points, Mainz in the Bundesliga also has 6 points, and in La Liga, Levante and Oviedo share the last spot with 9 points. All have accumulated more points than Wolves. There are other indicators that highlight the dire situation Wolves are experiencing. One of the team's biggest problems is their lack of scoring. They haven't scored a goal in a whopping 8 hours (5 matches) in the Premier League. Their last league goal was in the 2-1 defeat to Burnley on October 26th. Furthermore, Erling Haaland alone has scored 15 goals, more than Wolves' entire team total (7 goals). There is little to find hope in this pathetic and unsustainable situation. Jorge Mendes and Wolves The upcoming winter transfer window could offer an opportunity to turn this slump around. In that regard, the influence of super-agent Jorge Mendes, who has practically controlled Wolves' transfer market dealings for a long time, is expected to become important again. In fact, there have been seasons where the number of Portuguese players on the team exceeded that of English players. https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/premier-league/drama-wolverhampton-140-millones-invertidos-124432632

"Fans are roasting Wolves for their epic fail with a massive €140m investment and being dead last in the league, with one even calling them 'Yellow Liverpool' 😂"
