Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

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

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

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by the club in December last year.

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