Rob Edwards has put on a brave face for months, briefly threatening to even pull off the most miraculous of great escapes with Wolverhampton Wanderers around the turn of the year. However, after a limp 3–0 defeat to fellow relegation rivals Leeds United on Saturday, even the boyhood fan’s optimism had been sapped dry.
“We don’t want it to happen, but the writing is on the wall,” he sighed. Tottenham Hotspur’s late draw with Brighton & Hove Albion a few hours later earned Edwards a temporary reprieve before West Ham United sealed Wolves’ fate with a 0–0 against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
