Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the club leadership.

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

However the former Luton manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
