Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the club board as they start the search of appointing a new manager.

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

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