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

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
