Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous links to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

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

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
