Steve Bruce is reportedly ready to turn down any managerial offer from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The former Sunderland manager was interviewed almost a week ago and is said to be frustrated at being left waiting for a response, according to the Daily Star.
The Midlands club reportedly held talks with Reading boss Brian McDermott earlier this week, although the Royals are determined to keep him at the Majeski Stadium.
Wolves have targeted a wealth of names since sacking Mick McCarthy.
Alan Curbishley rejected an offer and Neil Warnock was appointed the new manager of Leeds United, while Wolves owner Steve Morgan appears to be put off by a £2m compensation fee for Brighton's Gus Poyet.
Fan opposition has allegedly dampened Morgan's enthusiasm for bringing Bruce in.
