It&#8217;s a really big job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;He&#8217;s turned the support around from being a little bit in the doldrums to feeling really positive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;So I am surprised from that respect, because I think the opportunity to take Middlesbrough back into the Premier League would be amazing for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But I just think on this occasion, it&#8217;s just the heart, isn&#8217;t it? It&#8217;s the fact that he was a player at Wolves, the fact he&#8217;s worked there, the location, the Premier League. It&#8217;s all those factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;So from the outside, we can all have an opinion, but what&#8217;s important is what works for someone and his family, ultimately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I think the Middlesbrough job, as great as it is, has just been topped for ingredients by this Wolves offer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a gamble for him because the reality is the two teams could swap divisions, but it&#8217;s the Premier League and I think you just have to understand that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards has been given permission to speak to Wolves.
