Ryan Aitnouri, who's now at Manchester City, all of these guys who were brilliant, but they've not been able to replace them.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

So this season has been long overdue.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

It's not quite the worst season ever.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

Derby still hold the lowest ever points total, and that's 11.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

So Wolves have comfortably got past them, but it's been horrible for them.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

Rob Edwards, the relatively new manager, basically has to try and end the season as well as they can and rebuild next season.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

It's been an example of if you let big decisions happen,

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

just get away from you in the transfer window if you don't really look too far ahead and you're very reactive instead of proactive then this sort of thing can happen and it's happened to Wolves it could happen to Tottenham it could happen to West Ham there are some big signs that we're playing in the championship next season but it's not been great at Molineux the Wolves fans have really endured an awful season and yeah not winning a single away game from home it's not been great for the fans on their travels either.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

So, yeah, they've got lots of work to do next season.

Whateley

Yeah, well, the best part about that documentary, Tom, is that the Sunderland Till I Die documentary was very much there to document Sunderland's, they got relegated to the championship and the documentary was meant to showcase Sunderland's big fight back into the Premier League instead.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

they documented their relegation to league one.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

And obviously it made for great TV because we're all watching a club in absolute free fall.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

If Sunderland have had a bonkers few years and actually they've been an example of what you, what happens when you get it right off the field.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

And yes, it was, it was awful six, seven years ago, but they've, they've had their time in the lower leagues, but they've got it so right this season.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

They, they've got an excellent manager in Regis Labrice, who is tactically very shrewd.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

He's a great man manager and,

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

fans love him, players love him, but they were so good in the transfer window in the summer.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

They strengthened really, really sharply and acutely and they did everything right.

Whateley
Whateley with Tom Morris - Wednesday | Full Show (15.04.26)

So they're reaping the rewards for that.
