Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
