Wolves hero Edwards: Hobbs appointment a good call


Wolves hero Dave Edwards has backed Matt Hobbs' appointment as technical director.

Edwards wrote for the Express & Star: "With January fast approaching, it is going to be a massive four or five weeks preparing for the window.

"I am sure his sole focus will be on that now because reinforcements are needed quickly.

"If Julen Lopetegui can tweak what is happening on the pitch, and together they can get the right people through the door, that would be great.

"If it works, he will be applauded, but if it doesn't – then it is a problem – but that is the life of someone in that kind of high-pressure role.

"I touched on Scott Sellars last week, he had a difficult job, but he did well in it. This is another internal promotion for Wolves, one that I am not convinced the fans are 100 per cent behind.

"Perhaps they would have liked someone from the outside to come in, especially with the resources the club now has with Jorge Mendes and the contacts he has.

"I expect Hobbs to make subtle changes rather than anything revolutionary – certainly to begin with.

"It is good for the staff within the building as it offers encouragement for success.

"If you do well, then you have a chance to be rewarded with progression."
