Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the search of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary 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 ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
