Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a new head coach.

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

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