Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

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

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
