Edwards as well as O'Neil Included in Wolves Managerial Contenders
Edwards together with Gary O'Neil each possess previous connections with the club

Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season.
And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.
Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.
However the ex- Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they begin the search of hiring a fresh manager.
O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
