The 2012-13 campaign delivered ultimate heartbreak for Wolves as the Wanderers suffered a second successive relegation, finishing a devastating 23rd in the Championship. Despite a promising start under Ståle Solbakken that saw the team reach third place in October, a dramatic slump and a mid-season managerial change to Dean Saunders failed to arrest the slide into the third tier for the first time in decades. Leading the charge was striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, whose 14 league goals provided a glimmer of hope in a season otherwise defined by injury woes and defensive struggles. It was a dark and turbulent year that saw the club hit a historic low point, yet it remains a defining chapter of resilience for the Molineux faithful.
