Rob Edwards did not take Middlesbrough training on Friday, leaving his future in serious doubt amid continued interest from Wolves. Boro swiftly rejected an official approach from the Premier League club for their head coach on Thursday but 24 hours later uncertainty remains in regards to the situation.
As of Friday afternoon, Edwards was set for discussions with the Boro hierarchy, including the club’s owner, Steve Gibson, regarding his future, with the high-flying Championship club preparing to host Birmingham at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday. It is understood Edwards’s assistants Adi Viveash and Harry Watling led training on Friday. In an extraordinary chain of events, Boro pulled the plug on Edwards’s pre-match press conference earlier amid the speculation.
