Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
