Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton manager - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
