Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
