Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
