""[Chairman] Jeff [Shi] talked to me about a reset moment," Edwards said. "It's an opportunity for us now and I know we're in a difficult spot, but there are still 27 games to go, so there's an opportunity here for us to do something really special, and that appeals to me. "I've always been a risk-taker, and I've always wanted this job. You don't know if it's ever going to come along again, and the opportunity was there right now."
""It's going to be difficult, but there's an opportunity for us to maintain our Premier League status this year and then grow and continue to grow and build. "Now, it's about moving forward and what we can do to affect it, and that's working incredibly hard, leaving it all out there to try and drag our way out of it.""
Rob Edwards left Middlesbrough less than five months into a three-year contract to become Wolves head coach, with Middlesbrough set to receive around £3m compensation. Wolves sit in deep trouble with just two points from 11 Premier League games, creating a relegation battle with 27 matches remaining. Edwards previously represented Wolves as a player and coach and identifies the role as a long-term ambition. The immediate focus is on finding results to maintain Premier League status, while the longer-term plan emphasizes growing, rebuilding identity, and reconnecting the club with supporters.
