Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a fresh manager.

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

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
