Steve Bull: Rob Edwards sacking a shock but Wolves must look forward

Read the latest Wolves column from Steve Bull.

I was stunned when the news broke of Wolves sacking Rob Edwards.

I do feel a bit sorry for him, he tried to keep the peace where it was hard to and he did the best job he could have for us.

This is modern football, these things happen, but I was still just as stunned as everyone else to hear the news.

We have to look forward now, it’s a new era and we have to pick the pieces up and get going again.

We don’t know exactly what Cesar Peixoto will be like, but maybe it hints at Wolves moving back to signing a lot of Portuguese lads again.

It’s just a shock that this decision has been made and we’ll have to wait and see how it develops at the club in the next few weeks.

No-one expected Edwards to go, we all thought he would have the summer to rebuild this squad, but the Wolves board must see something different.

I wish Edwards all the very best in whatever is next for him and I also wish the new manager the very best as he arrives at our great club.

It’s been a busy week for the club, with Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez both officially signing.

Trippier brings good experience and leadership, two things we have been lacking in our side for a quite a long time.

He will help stabilise the defence and I think it’s a good signing. We may only get two years out of him, but that’s enough to get us back to where we need to be.

His signing was quickly followed by Raul Jimenez’s return to the club.

He loves the club and always will - and the fans love him back - so it’s brilliant news. It’s special to see him back in a Wolves shirt.

But two signings isn’t enough, we still have to strengthen our side and when we lose other players, we have to make sure we replace them with quality.

I’m sure they will have some more surprises for us in this window.

Finally, now that the World Cup has started, I hope everyone can get behind England and give them the push they need to get over the line.
