Guest Post – Written By Tom Blewitt

It’s been a turbulent week for Wolverhampton Wanderers, particularly for those invested in the club’s women’s team. Just days after the shocking resignation of the Head of Women’s Football—reportedly triggered by the club’s baffling failure to submit a bid for promotion to the Championship—Wolves have stirred further controversy by ignoring a major accolade for one of their own.

Dan McNamara, the man who has overseen the most successful period in the history of Wolves Women, is currently shortlisted for Manager of the Year. Despite his achievements, including leading the team to multiple league titles and consistently pushing for promotion, the club has failed to acknowledge or promote his nomination publicly. With voting for the award set to close tomorrow, the silence from Wolves has sparked frustration and disbelief among supporters and within the wider women’s football community.

For a club that often touts its commitment to the women’s game, the recent actions—or lack thereof—paint a starkly different picture. Failing to apply for promotion is one thing; failing to celebrate your most decorated manager being recognised on a national stage is another.

Dan McNamara has not only built a winning team but cultivated a culture of excellence and ambition at Wolves Women. To ignore his nomination is more than an oversight—it’s a sign of disrespect to the very progress he’s helped achieve.

As voting deadlines loom, fans are calling on Wolves to rectify their silence, not just for McNamara, but for what he represents: success, dedication, and the future of women’s football.
