“This club is powerful" - Rob Edwards in it for the long haul at Wolves

He lost his first seven games in charge and although they have enjoyed improved results of late, the bottom-placed club are still likely to drop down to the Championship.

With a view to the long-term, Edwards now wants to be the man to restore pride in the club.

“I knew it’d take some time," Edwards said on his decision to join Wolves.

“Looking from the outside, it’s difficult to know how long things will fully take to turn around.

“It’s not just me, there’s a wider staff and a lot of people have been working extremely hard to try and get things right.

“I have a brilliant team and support staff here.

“This club is powerful, and those nights under the lights where we’re able to compete and win, I’ll never forget those moments, my family were there as well.

“That’s part of the reason, I want to be here for a long time.

“I want to try and be part of the team that turns things around here - and gets it right."

When asked if the job has been more difficult than he expected, Edwards added: “I didn’t think it’d be as tough as it was, or to take as long as it did to get to the level of where we want things to be.

“The daily stuff - standards. It was purely a lack of confidence, not a case of players not wanting to run or try.

“Maybe they’d forgotten how to win, it snowballed and got away from them, so it took a while to turn things around.

“I’m really pleased, we’ve had a decent period.”

Edwards has also been able enjoy some memorable nights at Molineux, with an upturn in form.

That has helped his relationship with the fans, who have been 'rewarded' for their continued support for a team struggling at the bottom of the table.

"They've had some more to shout about, no doubt about it," Edwards said.

"I don't want to labour on the point of how challenging it was at first coming in, it was difficult. There was a lot of people to try and pick up and unfortunately it wasn't one where you could just click your fingers and start winning. 

"There's been a lot that we've had to work on but it's great that the players are all involved and on board with it and I can really sense that the supporters are as well.

"There's been clubs that in similar positions to us, even earlier in the season, the place would have turned quite toxic. 

"It was challenging playing here at Molineux but the fans weren't against the lads and you could sense that they just wanted us to perform and play. Now you can see that the lads are giving everything, they're running really, really hard and they're rewarding that now.

"The fans are rewarding that and then the lads are rewarding them with better performances as well."
