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

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton manager - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club board as they start the process of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
