Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton manager - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
