The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight season. And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous links to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership. Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium. Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the position. The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager. O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter. The former West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
