If we lose again tomorrow even the most ardent Rob Edwards fans must admit that it is time for change.

To keep changing head coach is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Given Rob Edwards' record, is he still here because Fosun have recognised their and Jeff Shi's culpability for this season's predicted disaster?
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would almost believe that they hired him in preparation for the Championship. As someone pointed out, when he arrived there were still plenty of points on offer.

Sadly, I don't think Rob Edwards is going anywhere. He's not a PL manager - never will be - so if he does get Wolves promoted from the Championship, he'll almost definitely relegate the club again. I don't see the value in keeping him when anyone with half a brain can see that he can't manage a club beyond the Championship. It's not progressive thinking. I also don't trust any manager who takes the Watford job.
People at Wolves also need to realise how strong the Championship is going to be next season. Burnley, West Ham/Spurs, Southampton/Middlesborough, Wrexham, Birmingham City, and possibly Norwich, Millwall, and Hull. Where do Wolves fit in with that lot?
I can see Wolves struggling next year - and it could get nasty.

Edwards got the job because nobody else really wanted it at the time. It was also likely to prepare us for the Championship, because the squad isn't good enough. However, Rob Edwards' limited abilities are only part of the problem. A master craftsman couldn't carve a masterpiece with a plastic teaspoon. In the same way, no matter how good a coach is, he still needs decent players and football people around him.
I can see next season going a similar way to the Zenga/Lambert season, and there may be some nervous looks over our shoulders at the bottom 3. And if we have any financial issues, the EFL will be on us quickly, meaning things could go from bad to worse.
