Micah Richards was surprised by Wolves’ 4-0 defeat to Everton on Wednesday as he thought Gary O’Neil’s side were going to kick on after their last five Premier League matches, in which they lost only once.
“I thought Wolves had turned a corner,” said the former Manchester City defender on Match of the Day.
“Cunha was playing really well and they looked like with their form and the teams they played, they had a good run of fixtures.
“When the manager starts talking like that, [saying] ‘the club is bigger than me’ and things like that, it sort of looks like the writing is on the wall.
“I have enjoyed him as a coach and don’t want to see him sacked.”
Did you know? Wolves have conceded 13 goals from set pieces this season (excluding penalties). That is the worst mark in the league, with Southampton second on eight.
