Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the search of hiring a fresh manager.

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

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