2 Newcastle Red Bulls<\/p>\n
Although Newcastle is not particularly close to Wigan, it would give Edwards the chance to return to the north of England. <\/p>\n
The financial backing available through the Red Bulls project would also be a major attraction if that factors into his decision.<\/p>\n
Like Sale, it could provide him with the opportunity to take charge of an ambitious club and leave a lasting legacy through sustained success.<\/p>\n
Recruitment resources would not be a concern, and he could look to replicate the achievements he enjoyed at Wasps by building another long-term powerhouse.<\/p>\n
POLL:<\/p>\n
1 England<\/p>\n
The most heavily discussed option is England. The RFU have already missed out on Edwards once, and failing to secure him a second time would raise serious questions.<\/p>\n
Steve Borthwick remains under pressure, and the appointment of Edwards could provide a significant boost for both the squad and supporters ahead of next year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
England possess an abundance of talent that many feel is not being fully maximised. Edwards could be the figure capable of unlocking that potential at a crucial stage in the team\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
While he may ultimately want a head coaching position, Borthwick appears likely to remain in place for now, making a senior coaching role the most realistic pathway.<\/p>\n
