Crying Wolves: 'Chaos club' Wolfsburg on the brink of relegation again

At full time, only three Wolfsburg players dared to approach their furious supporters.
"We tried to calm them down a bit," said a visibly disappointed Maximilian Arnold, revealing what he had discussed with the ultras after Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Hamburg, which saw the Northerners close the gap on the 16th-place Wolves to just two points with two games to play.
"Everyone saw the game," he continued. "If the alarm bells aren't ringing now, then I have no idea. It's about time we all pulled our fingers out."
The rest of the demoralized squad hung back. So, on Sunday at training, the fans came to them.
"You're all getting relegated!" jeered some, incase the players hadn't seen the Bundesliga table. "Get up the hill!" shouted others, referring to the brutal physical exercises used by former coach Felix Magath.
Current coach Bruno Labbadia wasn't spared either. "Great training, Bruno!" was one sarcastic shout. "That can't be it, surely? I wish my holidays were as relaxing as that!"
But Labbadia, who infamously rescued Hamburg in 2015 and who took over the Wolfsburg in February, is far from the biggest problem at what Kicker magazine has labelled the "biggest chaos club" in the Bundesliga.
"It's difficult for me," said the 52-year-old. "Ultimately, I'm sorting out problems which occurred before I arrived. Nothing has grown together here. I can't change that."
