Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton manager - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any compensation.
