Rob says he wants to keep 6 of the current squad, but only 4 of them would get in Nuno’s promotion winning squad and the Championship has improved since then.

The problem is, Rob Edwards lives in la la land. Fosun will need to bankroll Rob, which is stupid. Might as well bring the omelette chef in and bankroll them. Any silly sod can win the Championship if they have a £130 million squad.

The bigger point for me would be that Rob Edwards isn't good enough, and in no way could he be compared to Nuno's managerial nous, wandering stars.
First, get someone in charge who can get the dynamics of a promotion-challenging team in place, and then recruit accordingly.
We're 'lumbered' with what we've got to some extent, and our pull, player-wise, is at an all-time low, so we'll cobble together and harness a mixture of has-beens, never-beens, and injury-prone could-have-beens, and ask them to go out and go through the 'traditional or trendy' motions in the hope they'll 'bond'.
I'm sorry to say, but as nice a guy as Rob Edwards seems to be, I just can't see him lighting up any team or rubbing any charismatic, infectious style of play onto players.
We'll be a dull, unexciting midtable outfit that everyone will want to beat, being relegated Prem, but more so, our historic name.
We need a clean sweep all round, fresh faces and fresh ideas, someone who gets hurt when we lose, someone who fires a team and impassions the fan base.
Sadly, I've no ideas who, but then I never knew who Nuno was when he arrived.

Fully agree, Abbey. Rob Edwards has already demonstrated that he is out of his depth in the Premiership, so keeping him on is a pointless exercise because if we do, by some miracle, gain promotion, we will soon be in exactly the same position as we are now.
A new manager needs to be appointed asap, should be backed financially, and it needs to be someone who can bring back a team identity, because, at the present time, we are a shambles, no playing philosophy, no squad cohesion, and a fan base that is crying out for some semblance of unity and ambition from those who hold the reins.
I have been a supporter for 60+ years, have seen the highs and the lows, so understand the diverse emotions supporting Wolves brings, but what currently annoys me most is the seeming complacency of those in charge. If that doesn't change, we have no hope of coming out of the darkness any time soon.

Replying to Shandy above. Any silly sod? Even if you gave Rob £130mil, I don't know if he could win the Championship. It's more than just about money. We've spent big, and we couldn't even prevent relegation.

With you there, Deep, I just hope that some sort of message has been received and we see a cracking game today and a win on the final day of this miserable season.
We can still end up off bottom (Arsenal beating Burnley, granted). Let's see if we've got it in us to even achieve that?

Where is the list of managers queuing up to come to wonderful Wolves with all that it has to offer.

Who knows what will happen when the curtain comes down. Did Nathan Shi actually say that Rob Edwards would still be manager/head coach for next season? Maybe he is keeping quiet about it until the season is finished.

We can but hope, B Hill.
