Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

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

However the ex- Luton manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
