Matt Jackson has a theory as to why Wolves’ summer signings have struggled so much

Matt Jackson has a tough task on his hands after being announced as Wolves’ new technical director.

Wolves have acted after relieving Dominico Teti of his duties at Molineux, as Matt Jackson steps into the role of technical director.

The official Wolves channel announced the appointment on Tuesday afternoon, which appeared to anger supporters even more on social media.

A complete lack of care and acknowledgement from Fosun to the current situation at the club has tension rising by the day, and the reaction is more than justified.

The Chinese owners appear to be in it for their own benefit, and if they had any kind of care for the club, they would sell up and move on.

Matt Jackson needs time to prove himself in the role, but you can’t help but feel like this is another penny-pinching move in a time of desperation.

Matt Jackson claims Wolves summer signings are struggling to adjust

Wolves made seven signings in the summer transfer window if you include Jorgen Strand Larsen making his loan move permanent.

However, only Ladislav Krejci can hold his head high, as the rest of them have flattered to deceive and have further highlighted the poor recruitment strategy after some big departures.

Speaking in his first interview after being made technical director, Matt Jackson gave an explanation for the lack of quality from the summer signings.

“It’s very well documented that the players we lost in the summer. The players who have come in have been excellent professionally.

“A really good group that wants to be helped and wants to work hard for each other, but ultimately learning to play in the Premier League while you’re playing in the Premier League is really tough, and it’s brought us to this really challenging point in all of our careers right now.

“And how we cope with the next few months will define a lot of futures.”

The Wolves excuses need to stop

One thing that has been grinding the gears of supporters is the lack of accountability at the club for any wrongdoings, and that seems to be the case once again here.

Jhon Arias is a prime example of pinning all your hopes on a player being an immediate impact in the Premier League after Cunha’s departure.

His 13 assists look good on paper, but he scored just four last season and lacks any experience in the Premier League, which we know is one of the hardest leagues to adjust to.

Not one player signed by Wolves has any kind of experience in the top-flight, which says it all.

Gone are the days of using Jorge Mendes to find new gems when instant results and improvements are required on the pitch and in the squad.

Wolves simply don’t have time for players to come good and it shows in the table.
