Wednesday have held talks with Pulis while Nigel Pearson and Paul Cook are in the running
Tony Pulis is in advanced talks with Sheffield Wednesday to succeed Garry Monk.
Pulis has outlined his financial demands to Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri, which include a hefty survival bonus.
Discussions over a short-term deal for the rest of the season are continuing and the former Stoke and West Brom boss’ appointment could be confirmed by the weekend.
Pulis, 62, has been out of work since leaving Middlesbrough in May 2019 and Chansiri considered him before appointing Monk 14 months ago.

thedailymirror--2020-11-11--Alarm as Donald Trump installs loyalists in Pentagon amid bid to cling to power

Donald Trump has installed loyalists in senior military roles in a highly unusual reshuffle amid the President ’ s desperate bid to cling on to power .
Pentagon policy has been handed to a man who branded Barack Obama a “ terrorist ” .
And the new Chief of Staff to the Defence Secretary helped produce a dossier accusing senior Justice Department figures of “ bias ” against Trump .
The top-level turnover should be “ alarming to all Americans ” , Adam Smith , the Democrat chairman of the House armed services committee said .
He said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dangerous high-level turnover at the department of defence is during a period of presidential transition.
” He added : “ If this is the beginning of a trend – the president either firing or forcing out national security professionals in order to replace them with people perceived as more loyal to him – then the next 70 days will be precarious at best and downright dangerous at worst.
” It follows the summary dismissal of Defence Secretary Mark Esper , who learned he was being sacked just minutes before the President announced it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replaced by Christopher Miller , who had been the director of the National Counterterrorism Center .
The Pentagon said Kash Patel , who was the top counter-terrorism adviser on the White House National Security Council , would be Miller 's chief of staff .
Patel worked as a top aide to Representative Devin Nunes , the pro-Trump Republican who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and now is its top minority member .

Democrats say the top-level turnover is "dangerous" and should be "alarming to all Americans" - as yes-men were installed at the highest levels of the US military
Alarm as Donald Trump installs loyalists in Pentagon amid desperate bid to cling to power
Donald Trump has installed loyalists in senior military roles in a highly unusual reshuffle amid the President’s desperate bid to cling on to power.
Pentagon policy has been handed to a man who branded Barack Obama a “terrorist”.
And the new Chief of Staff to the Defence Secretary helped produce a dossier accusing senior Justice Department figures of “bias” against Trump.
The top-level turnover should be “alarming to all Americans”, Adam Smith, the Democrat chairman of the House armed services committee said.
He said: “It is hard to overstate just how dangerous high-level turnover at the department of defence is during a period of presidential transition.”

He added: “If this is the beginning of a trend – the president either firing or forcing out national security professionals in order to replace them with people perceived as more loyal to him – then the next 70 days will be precarious at best and downright dangerous at worst.”
It follows the summary dismissal of Defence Secretary Mark Esper, who learned he was being sacked just minutes before the President announced it on Twitter on Monday.
Esper was replaced by Christopher Miller, who had been the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Just hours later, Jessica shared a heartfelt post on LinkedIn which has since gone viral with over a million views.
The 23-year-old and her partner had found their dream home in Braintree, Essex, and were already buying furniture when Jessica was told she was being let go again, reports EssexLive.
"For it all to be taken away due to no fault of my own was absolutely heartbreaking," the University of Westminster business graduate explained.
"To go from that exciting prospect to the position I am in now, changed overnight.
"Redundancy is such a scary life event."
Following her four-year degree, Jessica was delighted to land the ideal role in the buying office of a jewellery and hair accessories firm.
