Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton manager - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any compensation.
