Why not? You think 8pts is insurmountable or you don't like their squad?

New manager bounce and that gap could be down to 3 or 4 within a month

Saying that I'm with the other poster through who said thinks Edwards is a bit overrated although he is doing a good job at the mo tbf

No doubt Adi would go with him

Boro will make a move for Robins and reunite him with

Be nice if there is some speculation before Saturday

Do they then sign Jamie Allen in January?

 

[MusicDating]

Boro forum reckon he's off as he had the chance to quell the rumours...

 

[blunted]

I used to like Prolapse and the Princess Charlotte was a fantastic venue many years ago. Not much of a musical legacy though apart from that Crusty period with Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead which is best forgotten.

Kasabian?
Used to like the Cooler until it was sold to Adrian Mole

 

[blunted]

Wonder if Edwards will take Adi to Wolves? Does he have it in him to be a manager himself

Adi has always categorically said he does not want to be a manager.

Agreed

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Well it is because I'd forgotten he was manager there.

 

[Briles]

There not doomed though are they? Even under pererria they didn't actual play as bad as a team you would expect would play when not won a game all season

He did his badges at wolves. It might be a good move for him if he keeps them up and if he doesn't there a club with more money than Boro anyway to bounce back

I dont think they will get over 15 points this season

 

[Tommo1993]

Yeah I think Wolves have a particularly inferior squad of players this season.

 

[robbiethemole]

Josh Sargent has already played a full season in the PL and was rubbish.

Not with us, he hasn't!!!

 

[robbiethemole]

hang on!!!! JOE Edwards wasn't our bench this week, do you think they've got the wrong Edwards?????

 

[Captain Dart]

Stolen from the Stoke forum, last time each of the current top 11 were in the top flight...

Cov City 2001
Stoke 2018
Mboro 2017
Preston 1961
Millwall 1990
Charlton 2007
Bristol C 1980
Hull City 2017
Brum C. 2012
Ipswich 2025
Derby C. 2008

I doubt many Preston fans remember 1961.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If Edwards really wants the move he'll push for it, but I'm not convinced he does. Wolves squad is a mess and he stands as good a chance of PL football next season with Boro as he does with Wolves.

Ermmm yes he was so that 'joke' failed

 

[fernandopartridge]

There's no way he keeps them up.

It's a bizarre appointment

He's both failed to keep Luton up after a better start than Wolves had, and, failed to get them promoted at the first chance. Luton were only promoted because they were horrible to play against and that's all down to Nathan Jones. Edwards started to try and undo that and the rest is history....

Their squad is shite, theres major behind the scenes issues, the owner refuses to put in any money and they are 8 points adrift. I think thats good enough reason.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

They've never recovered since we beat them in the FA Cup 6th Round

 

[wingy]

There’s too many run of the mill London clubs in there now.

Keep the big lot but Brentford can fuck off out of it Fulham have had too long and Palace way too long.

What they need to do is trade places with them, make room for others as well.

 

[wingy]

We did sniff around in the summer so you'd have to assume that he was offered more there or didn't fancy the offer overall, but he was getting much playing time last year.

What a day that was. Walking back through Wolverhampton, home fans all just looked dumbfounded and speechless…which may or may not be normal in those parts anyway, but still.

Still watch it back now!

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Still watch it back now!

Had to do it- what a way to start the day.

'Awww Naww, that's Unbelievable!'.

Goosebumps every time.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Still watch it back now!

I was stood behind the goal next to the Wolves fans

‘OW FOOOR FOOKS SOYK!’

 

[torchomatic]

If we're talking generic indie bands from the era, Kasabian (Leicester) are better than The Enemy to be honest. WLADITT does work brilliantly as a club anthem though and the band owe the geezer who starting playing it more than a few pints.

One of my favourite bands are from Leicester: Diesel Park West. Listen to Shakespeare Alabama if you ever get chance. Fabulous.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Interesting...Edward's routine, pre match, Friday press conference cancelled.
He'd be a fool to leave, but intelligence doesn't come into it.
He's resurrected his managerial career at M'bro (with help from Adi Viveash), and looks like jumping ship into certain relegation, and subsequent dismissal.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He'd be a bloody fool to leave for Wolves, but the lure of instant PL football does that to people. It didn't work out for Nathan Jones at Southampton though and there's strong similarities between the two scenarios.

I'll be honest, i don't think Boro stay where they are. I expect them to fall off a bit and i don't think Edwards is all that. Might be his only chance to manage in Prem, even if its likely to be a disaster.

Yeah I suspect they're be play offs at most this season.
Saying that, I thought a month ago that Sheffield United would turn it around and make a push for the play offs...

As I said before, I think he's as likely to be in the Prem next season with Wolves as he is with Boro. Take the point that this way he guarantees PL football this season though.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Thought I'd have a look on boro's forum about Edwards, their presser has been cancelled and this is what a poster said:

''RE did not attend a club meeting yesterday and cannot be reached by anyone. USG who look after RE have told the club he wants to leave and all communication should be directly through them. RE is effectively banned from all club premises and has had his internal accounts for communication and data access revoked."
