As per soccer journalist Ben Jacobs, John Eustace is “in the frame” to be Wolves’ subsequent supervisor after the disastrous finish to O’Neil’s time within the West Midlands, with the 45-year-old at present succeeding on the helm of Blackburn Rovers.

Already well-known to soccer followers within the Midlands area for his time at Birmingham Metropolis, the Outdated Gold hierarchy might nicely swoop in final minute at hand him the reins over the inexperienced Pereira if that transfer does not go to plan.

Eustace was a gentle presence at St. Andrew’s throughout some turbulent current instances in Birmingham’s historical past, so he might nicely be the specified determine Wolves want for some momentary calm, having overseen 21 wins in charge of the Blues earlier than his dismissal then signalled relegation for the membership.

He has since bounced again from that controversial sacking, as the favored 45-year-old has steered the Riversiders right into a shock playoff spot this season thus far, with a exceptional defensive file on show that may lend itself nicely to the leaky Wolves again 4.

Amazingly, Blackburn have picked up six wins on the trot within the unforgiving division of the Championship, with zero objectives shipped throughout their final 5 victories towards some robust opponents within the type of Daniel Farke’s Leeds United and Rob Edwards’ Luton City.

With Wolves conceding objectives for enjoyable as of late close to the foot of the Premier League, having now shipped an abysmal 40 strikes, Eustace might nicely be an unflashy appointment that works for Wolves of their short-term dismal scenario, away from tempting Pereira to depart Saudi Arabia for a relegation battle.

Rightfully praised for his heroics in Lancashire up to now this season, with equally glowing phrases coming his manner from soccer journalist Alan Biggs throughout his stint at Birmingham who labelled the 45-year-old as “excellent”, the time could possibly be proper for him to win himself a Premier League calibre job submit.

It does appear doubtless that the Wolves hierarchy will go in a special route by appointing Pereira, however for some stability in what’s a basket-case time at Molineux, the Outdated Gold would do far worse than at hand Eustace the position as an alternative.
