That unified front, however, may not include head coach Gary O'Neil who is now under serious threat of losing his job as the club explore options with potential successors.

Candidates are being discussed and shortlists are being finalised, as O'Neil looks likely to lose his job at the same time he has been nominated for November's manager of the month award.

However, the 41-year-old could yet lead the club into Monday's game at West Ham with Wolves yet to decide on a potential replacement.
