Overview
- Gary O’Neil withdrew from talks about a surprise return to Molineux after initial discussions with the club.
- Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards is the bookmakers’ favourite but has publicly stressed his focus on Boro, and PA reports there has been no contact between the clubs.
- The Times reports tentative third-party contact with Erik ten Hag, who is said to be reluctant to consider the role given Wolves’ predicament.
- Under-21 head coach James Collins and Under-18 head coach Richard Walker are overseeing first-team preparations for Saturday’s visit to Chelsea after multiple staff exits.
- Betting markets shortened odds on Ten Hag following O’Neil’s U-turn, as fan unrest and an eight-point gap to safety heighten pressure on the hierarchy.
