Wolves sold: Kenny Jackett's future in the balance as Bruce and Martinez linked to manager's job
Kenny Jackett remains as Wolves boss for the time being but speculation continues to rage about his future – and his possible successor.
Steve Bruce, who so nearly got the Wolves job in 2012, quit Premier League new boys Hull City yesterday, fuelling rumours that he could be in line for the Molineux hot seat.
Sources suggest he quit the KC Stadium having been told he had no transfer funds ahead of the new season.
But with Wolves' new owners Fosun International believed to be looking for a new boss, Bruce is likely to come on to their radar.
Another who it's believed they will sound out is Spaniard Roberto Martinez, currently out of work after leaving Everton at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, Jackett was due to take charge of today's pre-season friendly away at Port Vale.
As in recent weeks he remains in limbo, but will carry on until told otherwise.
The Wolves head coach has previously stated he wouldn't consider resigning, despite it being clear that the new regime want their own man in charge.
Julen Lopetegui revealed he had an agreement to replace Jackett, only to dramatically back out when he was offered the Spain job earlier this week.
After today's game Wolves have two pre-season friendlies left, away at Northampton Town on Tuesday and then against Swansea City at Molineux a week today. Their Championship campaign kicks off at Rotherham on August 6.
It comes as Jez Moxey could be set for a shock switch to Championship rivals Norwich City when he leaves Wolves.
The chief executive will in three months depart Molineux after 16 years in the job.
The shock announcement was made alongside Wolves' £30m takeover by Chinese investors Fosun International.
The reasons behind his exit aren't yet known – but the Canaries look set to at least sound out the possibility of recruiting Moxey to replace David McNally, who resigned from the club 11 weeks ago.
Moxey's loss will be keenly felt at Molineux. Wolves have already begun advertising for a replacement.
Both Moxey and former owner Steve Morgan are known to be on good terms with the Norwich hierarchy
However, Moxey's future is unlikely to be finalised until after he has left Molineux. For the time being, he has a crucial role in the transition between Morgan and Fosun, with the future of Jackett and player recruitment high on the priority list.
Norwich chairman and former Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls is leading the hunt for a replacement for McNally.
Balls has pledged to hire a candidate with 'real, deep football experience'.
He said recently: "If you look for people who are currently employed then you do it quickly.
"I promised we would bring in real, deep football experience. We are going to do that – but there is still more work to do."
Moxey is due to speak at a press conference alongside Fosun's Jeff Shi on Monday.
