Overview
- Wolves made a formal request to speak to Rob Edwards about their vacancy, but Middlesbrough turned it down, according to multiple reports including PA.
- Boro cancelled Edwards’ scheduled Friday media briefing and local reports said he did not take training, heightening uncertainty over his immediate role.
- Edwards is tied to a multi‑year deal and any appointment by Wolves would require a compensation agreement, with reports indicating a release clause exists.
- Wolves continue to assess alternatives such as Erik ten Hag, while academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker will oversee the trip to Chelsea.
- The pursuit comes after Vítor Pereira’s dismissal, with Wolves bottom of the Premier League on two points from 10 matches and eight adrift of safety.
