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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Another wrote this:

"Yeah, I was told this morning in fact he spoke to Wolves last night without clubs permission.

Club were willing to let him talk to him after international break but Edwards went behind clubs back"

Lovely stuff. Need someone to pinch Robins now. Or his assistant to run over his dog or whatever happened here.
