O'Neil refuses to let talk about his future distract from points hunt
- Published
If Gary O'Neil is feeling the pressure he is not showing it.
Rock bottom Wolves host Southampton on Saturday still looking for a first win of the season, with the visitors a point and place above them in the table.
Only five of 18 teams previously without a victory after 10 Premier League games have survived, and Wolves are four points from the safety line.
Last season's form - with just one win in 10 games after the shock 3-2 FA Cup quarter final defeat by Coventry - has continued into this term.
It is a comparison O'Neil has previously dismissed as irrelevant and at Compton on Friday the relaxed boss refused to show any fears for the future.
He said: "I have zero concern around my future. It is what it is. When I came here I knew how tough it could be and I embraced all of it.
"The moment I leave or I'm asked to leave I will be really proud of the work that's been done and the world moves on. Wolves move on.
"Until that moment they will get everything from me. The players are desperate to correct a few things people are saying about the group outside of here.
"We understand there have been challenges and we continue to face a challenging time. There will be decisions to make for everyone, like there are from me like team selection.
"Jeff [Shi, chairman] and Matt Hobbs [sporting director] will have their own opinions and decisions to make on who is underperforming and not. We leave that side of things to them.
"I'm really comfortable going into the game with whatever is on the line according to people outside of here. Three points for Wolves is far more important than my job."
