Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the club ownership.

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

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

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