"Uncertainty has clouded Edwards' situation amid sustained interest from the Premier League club and Boro stood Edwards down from the dugout after discussions with Boro's hierarchy, including the owner, Steve Gibson, on Friday afternoon. Boro are resigned to losing Edwards, who joined the club in the summer. Wolves want Edwards to succeed Vitor Pereira, who was sacked after collecting just two points from 10 games, and shortlisted him following the 3-0 defeat at Fulham, an eighth league loss in the top flight this season."

Wolves stepped up their interest in Edwards after Gary O'Neil withdrew from talks over a return to the club on Monday amid a supporter backlash and doubts over the internal structure. Edwards is now expected to complete a return to Wolves, where he previously played and coached, working in the academy and with the first team."
