Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
