Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they start the process of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
