Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

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

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

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
