Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

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

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
