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 the weekend following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

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

However the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
