Wolves circle Rob Edwards as Middlesbrough face uncertain future
Wolves have identified Rob Edwards as their preferred next manager.
Middlesbrough are set for talks over his future after rejecting the initial approach.
Edwards did not lead Middlesbrough training on Friday.
The decision left his future at the Riverside in serious doubt amid growing Wolves interest.
Boro quickly rejected an official approach from Wolves on Thursday.
Within 24 hours the picture remained unsettled about his position.
By Friday afternoon Edwards was due to hold talks with the club owner Steve Gibson and the rest of the hierarchy.
Middlesbrough prepared to host Birmingham City at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.
His assistants Adi Viveash and Harry Watling led training on Friday.
The club pulled Edwards from the pre match press conference amid the ongoing speculation.
Meanwhile Wolves continue to monitor the situation from afar as a formal bid remains unconfirmed.
