Wolves star Jose Sa was involved in an angry clash with supporters after admitting his team-mates were “doing shit”. The Black Country side are at the bottom of the Premier League table after defeat to Burnley at the weekend.
Wolves’ recent upset has turned the club’s supporters against both the squad and management, with striker Jorgen Strand Larsen and manager Vitor Pereira getting into an angry altercation with fans at the final whistle.
Goalkeeper Sa was also at the center of a heated exchange with supporters as they were leaving the stadium after the match. A video shared on social media showed the Portuguese shot-stopper having an intense conversation with a number of fans demanding answers about how the club is doing.

Coach Pereira was involved in an angry exchange with fans in the stands. He said of this matchup: “I have a lot of soccer experience.
“They sang my name a few months ago, because when I arrived the club was in a bad position. We came here with a great effort together. I understand that it’s football. If we win two or three games in a row, everything changes.”
Striker Strand Larsen was also forced to answer questions from angry fans and gave his views. He said: “It’s not a good time to be a Wolves player or fan right now and I’m really sorry to everyone who supports us.”

“That’s why we love and hate this game, and now we hate this game. We’re sorry we can’t give the fans what they deserve.”
He added: “That’s not okay. We don’t want that to happen, but sometimes you need to vent your frustration. I was just trying to listen a little bit. I understand the frustration.”
Wolves resume play on Wednesday night, facing Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, before facing Fulham at the weekend. Pereira is expected to be in command for both matches, but the pressure could increase dramatically if his form continues.
