Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
