Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

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

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
