2025/26 Season Mr Rob Edwards and his Press Conferences

[LetTheBullLoose]

Edwards said at the forum how he wants to play

Can’t do it with these players

Judging him off likely the worst season in the clubs history and coming in when the damage is done isn’t a fair reflection

If we start bad Edwards will be gone but he can only do so much

The players are one of the biggest issues fair play to him for calling them out and saying they have to go

Sundays line up will be interesting

If he can’t do ‘his style’ with these players, then fair enough. He changes his style for the players he has and then resets when he has chance if he wanted to. But he hasn’t done that. He’s just blamed the players.
I will never be convinced that a better manager wouldn’t have done better with this group. And I think, sadly, we’ll see that next year when Rob has his own players for ‘his style’ and we’ll still be rubbish.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

If Nathan is basing his decision on two games against teams with nothing to play for then he’s an even bigger idiot than Jeff.

Well i base that on performances since the break as well
2 more poor games may just tip the balance especially if he totally loses the fan base
I doubt personally he goes anyway if they are as far down the road with planning as they intimate

Going into next season with the fanbase as toxic as it is towards Edwards is absolute suicide imo.

Not the whole fan base though. Theres a lot who aren't as obsessed with whinging about him as some people seem to be.

Criticising him isnt toxic, wanting him out isnt toxic. But making everything wolves related into a moan about him is the toxic part, and thats only a minority of terminally online internet forum users.

I’d say Molineux chanting Rob Edwards is a ****er is pretty toxic.

 

[QB Wolf]

I hated Lambert. And I was right. I’m right about RE too. Hopefully Fosun’s ambition for the club matches mine.

Nearly all of our managers are hated by someone, the majority go on to have meaningful careers elsewhere.

Obviously he didn’t do great at Stoke or Ipswich, but he did work again.

Can’t say I’ve hated any of our managers, Hoddle was probably the closest, disliked Zenga and Saunders and none of these have done anything of note elsewhere.

I could never really warm to Pereira to be honest either.

 

[Sutton]

I’d say Molineux chanting Rob Edwards is a ****er is pretty toxic.

Cannot actually remember any of our previous managers having a chant aimed at them as bad as this?

All of molineux or a small portion?

 

[Wolf316]

Enough

 

[Ian]

Just keep Vp if that were the case he had more chance of turning it around than RE

Except Vitor was doing everything in his power to get the sack ( pay off).

 

[Wolf316]

We’d still be in the same position in the league.

 

[Ian]

We’d still be in the same position in the league.

Yep absolutely no argument there...just that Vitor was never going to last the season, he couldn't have made it any more obvious that he didn't want to be here ( even said himself he should have quit in August).
As I've said many times the club would have been better off offering £2m to a " name" manager in the vain hope of keeping us up and they'd still be £2m better off even if the " name" also finished bottom.

The only positive to the situation is that Jeff has gone and when Edwards gets the sack we’ll be finally done and dusted with him.

When managers complained that players stopped following simple instructions, it was usually right before they got the sack. And rightly so. If Edwards thinks he can whittle the squad down to 5 and start again from there, he's in for a shock.

Time will tell we need a clean slate and start over new players new hope

 

[Don Gloomshroud]

Not according to the votes on the 2 most popular Woves forums with less than 5% support, didn't you want Lambert to stay?

 

[groundhogwolf]

None as blind as those who refuse to see.

 

[Madmalc]

Whilst I've no reason to rate Edwards compared to Lage, Lopetegui, GON or VP, the players are doing what they've always done.
Every season there is no effort shown by our players in the run in to their holidays, international appearances and in our case their all hoped for transfer out.
What is happening on the pitch in this World Cup year is par for the course from our bunch of players.
I'm not stressing. I will be, if we don't remove most of these players from our match day squad for next season.

We were told that Rob had immense man management skills and the players would love playing for him. Doesn’t much look like it does it.

 

[wwbug]

Nothing is very good at WWFC.
We could go around in circles blaming different parts.
But its an accumulation of players, coaching and off-field management.
My hope is all areas will improve with Natham Shi changing everything.

 

[Madmalc]

This bunch were sold the dream of being sold to a bigger club.
That's been the pitch since the club lost league table ambition.
The players haven't worked hard in the closing stages of the season for the last 5 managers.
The only consolation is that injury will not prevent them from leaving..

 

[The Wolf of My Street]

I find it very difficult to believe, that there are still some supporters out there, wearing the old Rose Tinted Glasses regarding Rob Edwards and how he has coached the team this season since his arrival,
Some picking up on Robs own words of "Its not his fault" or Blaming the players, even saying that would not compete well enough in the championship, even the old chestnut of an excuse "there not Robs players" ?
The Truth is (and its one we can not get away from),..
apart from a few games (Arsenal/Villa/Liverpool) Rob Edwards has failed, Failed to get any kind of tune out of the players, Failed to show any savvy on how he would win games next season,
Infact all he has shown, is how he can deflect blame for his poor tactics, put the players morale on the floor, by suggesting every team is better than us (yes, i know the table proves that, but surely that is no way to factor confidence in your team), and basically just done nothing more than to prove to the many thousands of Wolves supporters that he is No way the man for the job next season.
I for one, wishes that Rob goes before his time here turns Toxic, As that is all I can see happening, if he is to stay,
for those willing to give him the opportunity to manage the team next season, you are of course entitled to your opinion and more than welcome to it, I just hope that things do not get to ugly, both on the pitch and in the stadium, before you realise,what over 90% of us already do.
Finally, any one saying, be careful what you wish for, or who else would come, my response..
There has to be better out there, if Fosun really do have the intentions of spending Funds in the Summer, perhaps amongst the best money they could spend, would be to spend it on a better class of manager, A manager that will inspire new signings and restore confidence in those that remain with us after the summer window closes

Bit different to be on the beach after you’ve stayed compared to being relegated.

Recently a vast majority of away supporters have given him pelters too . Make no mistake prople wanting him out are not just people on Molineux Mix .

Not really they were certain of relegation a long time ago, so they put their towels on the sun beds quite early this year.

Not at all, ive stated a few times. I dont think its a good idea to get rid of him right now, but i also wouldnt be all that bothered if they did. If you had more in your head than 'edwards bad, edwards go' you'd have been able to comprehend my responses.

Maybe look past your own bias before calling people with a different opinion 'cheerleaders'.

That's such a pathetically lame position to take really. Is that the levels of apathy that we (you) have sunk to?

 

[DavidWebb]

I’m not telling everyone how to feel about Edwards? We just share a different opinion. It’s pretty obvious they won’t sack him until next season at the earliest. (We was already 8 points adrift when he came in) the damage was done.

Mass change again? What mass change was there apart from selling our best players? Mass change is an entire new squad? Without Fosun investment we can only rely on sales to progress as a club?

Thankfully Nathan cleared up there was no ambition under Jeff

JSL was bad this season very lazy. Tolu didn’t have a sustained run of games but showed more desire. Tolu now wanting a move away and being dropped? Very obvious some just don’t want to be here.

JSL this season for Wolves 22 appearances 1 assist and 1 goal in the premier league

Tolu this season 31 appearances 1 assist 3 goals

Both not very good for players whose job it is to score goals. Let’s be honest very very poor. Thankfully we made some profit on JSL!

Why would we want to keep players who don’t want to be here? We could easily be talking about 10 or more….. That isn’t Edwards fault.

Losing the likes of Sarabia, RAN, Cunha and replacing them with Wolfe, Jackson and Tolu was never going to end well.

Experienced heads are required. Too many with fancy names who have been totally rubbish. That’s not on Edward’s head

Trust the process

All good points. Personally I am not bothered either way if he stays or goes, but I just can't get away from the exceptionally poor squad.

It is blatantly true that a collection of players can actually not be good enough for the division they are in. We can argue about causes, and maybe RE carries part of the blame, but this squad is bottom of the league on more or less every metric.

The squad has no goals in it, two central midfielders who can't make a forward pass, and we have nothing on the bench.

I am not trying to be a RE cheerleader, I am a bit ambivalent, I can see both sides of the debate.

Why keep him?

You would think after this bruising debacle he is going to be extremely motivated for next season.

By keeping him and his team you save time in the planning an execution of the rebuild, you don't waste money on another set of pay-off and recruitment

We can only stack the squad with home grown eligible players, so this time maybe an uncle George special is not appropriate this time

I know this doesn't hold much water, but Fosun would have given him some assurances when he jointed, they may not want to appear to be untrustworthy (stop sniggering in the back)

So, I get all the emotions. He has hardly made an impact on this collection of extremely poor players - personally I think players account for 95% of your league position.

For me the rebuild time and additional expenses of getting shot are the strongest argument for keeping him. But it's borderline.

 

[DJW]

You lot really dont understand people having opinions outside of your bedwetters echo chamber do you.

Of we do, just your apathy drives us nuts. The best you can come up with is 'i dont care if they sack him but might as well let him have a go' Just comes across as a bit of a pathetic stance to take. He is about to spend the last big transfer fund we may ever benefit from, fills me with dreadful, but you ' bless him, let him have a go'

It’s so when it goes to pot next season and we boot him they can say they didn’t support him anyway. It’s just a pathetic cop out.

Fair enough comments, but one or two I query,
1) by keeping Edwards and his team, we may save time and cost on a rebuild and pay off/new recruitment,..
But, this team is clearly not good enough, Edwards has pretty much alienated most , if not all the players, through his critisim, and "man management skills".
If Edwards stays, he will surely have to work with some of the current squad, How is that ever going to work out ?, he carries no respect, and can not influence confidence in any of this current squad,
Furthermore i just do not think, Edwards carries the right profile, that would inspire the right type of new signings, signings that we desperately need.
Why would any new player be inspired by a manager, that has such a cowardice style of play, and such a critical voice against his own players, when it all goes wrong.
2) I query that you mention, we can only stack the squad of Homegrown players,
I dont see this, as we all assume, most ( i wont say all) of this current squad are surplus to requirements, ( no matter who the manager is next season), therefore its more than likely we are going to have several non homegrown places available within the squad, im not 100% sure, but i assume the squad rules are still 17 non HG, and 8 HomeGrown allowed in a squad of 25, with under 21 players still not needing to be declared,
Therefore if these rules are still in force, and we get rid of many of the current bunch of non triers in our current squad, then as far as i can see, We are going to need Uncle Jorge a hell of a lot this summer, ( hopefully starting with a decent manager ), but certainly with a gem or 2 or even 3 or 4 players,
Because without Uncle Jorge helping steer the Good ship Wolves this summer, i truely fear we will only struggle next season, and we may even suffer the double dip
Of course just my opinion on things as they stand, and i of course respect your opinion too

There is no requirement to make it so literal.

 

[Jefe]

I’d say Molineux chanting Rob Edwards is a ****er is pretty toxic.

All of molineux or a small portion?

Wolves boss Rob Edwards has defended his decision to not acknowledge the home fans after their draw with Sunderland. "I was frustrated, but I also thought I didn't want to incite it any more [...] I didn't want to make the ground any more angry, so that was probably why."

What do you think?
