Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight season.

And both candidates - both of who have previous links to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club ownership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.

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

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to provide any compensation.
