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

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
