Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless start to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links 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 possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
