Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

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

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

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
