We asked for your views on whether Rob Edwards is the right man for the Wolves job.
Here are some of your replies:
Alan: Edwards brings bags of enthusiasm to a team he loves. His attacking mentality is exactly what we need if we have any chance of escaping relegation. I would far rather us go down giving our all and playing attractive, attacking football. I wish Rob every success. The supporters must get behind the team and save their angst for the board of directors and, specifically, Fosun.
David: Even though he has limited top-flight experience, Edwards is Wolves through and through. It’s about time we appointed someone with a passion for the club, instead of just being used as a stepping stone to get a Premier League club on their CV.
Lee: I feel a little sorry for Edwards already. Under the current ownership, this club is a poisoned chalice for any manager. He isn’t keeping us up, the owners have made sure of that with poor investment. I hope I’m wrong, but it feels like Edwards has made a poor decision in coming to join us. He should have stayed at Middlesbrough.
Mark: Edwards’ appointment sends a very clear message that Wolves are gearing up for a complete reset in the Championship next season. None of the best managers in the world would be able to save the club from relegation this season. The quality within the squad is simply not good enough to compete at this level. The owners, with a total lack of football knowledge, are solely to blame for this.
Ian: One can only assume Wolves must have offered him a huge salary with a large bonus should relegation be avoided. Will it be sufficient recompense for what will, in all probability, be a miserable experience though?
Mike: Definitely the right choice. He is a local lad, a former Wolves player and he will be backed by the fans. If he is backed by the club in January, he can bring in some of the players he wants. As long as the team shows some fighting spirit for the rest of the season, he is in a no-lose situation and will retain the fans’ backing even if we go down.
