Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore 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 possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
