It's fair to say that Sheffield Wednesday are in turmoil, as we approach the halfway point of the Sky Bet Championship campaign.

Off the pitch, the chairman, manager and fans are all disconnected - and on the pitch it isn't much better either.

After being held to a 2-2 home draw against Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United last weekend, Jos Luhukay's Owls have now won just one of their previous nine games, and have slipped to 17th position in the table.

The Dutchman is hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth, but as weeks go by and results stay the same, he surely cannot be at the helm for much longer.

January is a hugely important time for Wednesday - do they stick with Luhukay, or do they bite the bullet and sack him in order to install some new life at Hillsborough.

If the latter, then here, we take a look at three managerial candidates that could really save Wednesday from danger this season.

Bruce is probably the safest option for Wednesday right now.

His time at Aston Villa ended sourly after winning just three out of eleven games this term, but took them to a playoff final last term, and he has been very successful at this level having secured four promotions.

When he first arrived at Villa in 2016, he turned the tide around at Villa Park and went unbeaten in his first seven league games, so it's clear that he's effective at both short-term success and long-term success, which is what Wednesday currently need.

Jokanovic would be the most ambitious option out of the three.

He has been successful at this level before, securing automatic promotion with Watford in 14/15, and winning the playoffs last year with Fulham - playing some excellent football in the process.

His appointment would be a huge boost for Wednesday.

Pardew is another manager who would offer something that Luhukay doesn't necessarily have - vast experience of managing in the English leagues.

He's a widely experienced manager who has been successful at Championship level, albeit many years ago, but knows exactly what it takes to win games of football.

He didn't endure the greatest of times at his previous club West Brom, but the 57-year would be a solid appointment for Wednesday having managed in the top flight for many years.
