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

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

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

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
