Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

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

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

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock choice considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

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