Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

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

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
