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

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

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
