Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
