Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
