    Spot on. And yet, for some unknown reason, people on here are clamouring for him to get the job !! They would prefer a manager with under one seasons League Two experience and the sack at his only Championship club after 10 games to a ex City player and club captain who knows the club inside out. You couldn't make it up really could you.

        No doubt you said the same thing last season about Morison.

          Who doesn’t feel like much of an upgrade on Morison……

            What do assistant managers do? Are they coaches? Do they train the players?

            In the US, there are head coaches that pick the team and assistant coaches that run the drills etc.

            Trainers are people that take care of fitness/health.

                I know next to nothing about Rob Edward but according to Not the Top 20 Podcast, he likes 3/5 at the back and direct football so makes absolutely perfect sense for us abandon whatever "project" we were undertaking after 16 games. Go get him!

                  Depends what you think about 3/5 at the back I suppose.
                  Personally, I think you have to be a right fecking knob to think you're clever enough to get away with such systems in this league unless you have top players that are able to play such systems.
                  It was the undoing of Morison, let's not revisit that bullshit.

                    Being direct doesn’t necessarily mean hoofball or abandoning the project to play a more modern style of football.

                    It could mean playing through the lines quicker. Liverpool are a lot more direct than Man City for example but they don’t play hoofball.

                    Edwards was manager of Wolves under 23s and England under 16s I would highly doubt his style is going to be a throw back to Warnock and Mick.

                    And let’s be honest what was Morisons “project” exactly? Defenders tippy tappying across the back four which apart from padding out the possession stats wasn’t exactly getting us anywhere, we weren’t exactly cutting teams open. Yes the odd good half, the odd good goal but a lot of the time passing the ball with no real purpose just passing for passing sake. That’s as boring to watch as hoofball.

                      The odds are now getting tricky for the bookies to manage. They will pay out on a caretaker if they do 10 games, so if Hudson is in charge up to the World Cup they'll pay out.

                        Agree, it was less around Edwards and his style and more around the club that i was aiming my sarcasm at. However, i'm convinced Hudson will still be charge come December and most likely sacked a day before the transfer window closes.

                          It was abandoned when sacking SM with no clue what to do next.

                          I'm not sure what Hudson's ideas are but we are certainly not looking to keep the ball anywhere near as much.

                          I was never convinced the club really had any real project in place, it was entirely up to SM

                            Rob Edwards success at FGR is simple, Matt Stevens 27 goals, Jamille Matt 20 goals. When Stevens got injured they collapsed. Not saying he didn’t do a good life but life’s easier when your two strikers get you nearly 50 goals

                              Good players make good coaches.

                                That's why I'm wary about Edwards. Watford assumed he was the real deal on very little evidence and while I don't blame him for being sacked from that basket case of a club, I'd like a bit more evidence of him having done well in the lower divisions.
