Overview
- Middlesbrough said Edwards can hold talks with Wolves subject to a formal agreement between the clubs being completed.
- The Teesside club initially turned down Wolves’ approach on Nov. 6, then agreed terms after Edwards asked to explore the vacancy, with compensation to be finalised under his three-year deal signed in June.
- Edwards skipped Friday training and his press conference and was stood down for today’s game against Birmingham City.
- First‑team coaches Adi Viveash and Harry Watling, with academy manager Craig Liddle, are handling Middlesbrough’s fixture, while Wolves’ interim staff James Collins and Richard Walker lead the team at Chelsea.
- A Middlesbrough source told the Telegraph they believe Wolves breached Premier League regulations in their approach, a claim not adjudicated as the clubs work through the paperwork.
