Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
