Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they start the process of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
