Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton manager - who made 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 said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
