Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

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

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

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