Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock choice considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
