TalkSport have just said Wolves want Lopetegui in before their weekend Championship clash away at Huddersfield, so I'd take the Robins link with a pinch of salt.
Can't understand why people want Edwards - has basically had one good season at L2 level?
Guess it will depend if he wants to uproot his family, who are settled in the north west.The North East link is probably worth quite a bit
Lopetegui is a great bit of business, see also De Zerbi at Brighton.TalkSport have just said Wolves want Lopetegui in before their weekend Championship clash away at Huddersfield, so I'd take the Robins link with a pinch of salt.
Might be the only way wel get a midfielderAslong as he starts himself I’m all for it
I would prefer Edwards over Carrick. I can't say Carrick fills me with confidence, I always thought he was mentally weak, never turned up in big games and I've never found him very articulate and can't see him of being particularly inspirational.
I would actually prefer Milner despite his lack of coaching experience as he is the epitomy of a professional. I place a lot of importance on fitness and pace and would imagine Milner would be fitness obsessed.
Gibson didn't appoint Lawrence.Lennie Lawrence from Charlton would be the last one I think.
I have no idea about Carrick, but I was stopped in my tracks rather by Roy Keane's assessment of him as Man U first team coach. There could be all sorts of personal issues with that assessment of course, but Keane was adamant that Carrick was very poor as a coach.
Edwards would be an enormous gamble. Like needing a CF and signing Hoppe. It would be all about Scott. If the appointment failed - then Scott too would surely be out of the door.
Robins seems quite similar to Wilder in some ways. Excellent at Cov and Rotherham, but less so elsewhere.
I can really see Gibson being pulled here. He loves the old Man U link and a north east name, but he loves the experience route too. But he's got to keep his head boy happy, so I expect Edwards to get the nod.
Could be a touch of jealousy as well as he was offered the role Keane never wasDidn't know keano had slated him..
Interesting

They were extremely specific about Carrick.Seems more like Keane was annoyed that he was on the coaching staff of the previous 2 managers that were ultimately sacked for failing to deliver, and that he'd kept his job when his former teammate hadn't.
Also seemed annoyed that they got 3 decent results under Carrick's management after flopping in Solskjaer's final months, when Carrick was coaching.
Could probably make the same argument against Leo, he's been on the coaching staff of 3 failed managers in a row, but outlasted them.
No idea whether Carrick would be any good as a manager, but I'm not sure Keane's comments were specifically an issue with him.
Steve Cooper saving his skin? What’s he saving it in, a jar?Allegedly Cooper has one more game to save his skin- Monday night v Villa. Timing could be crucial if it is him we fancy as I believe Leo and crew have been told to prepare for the next 2 games in charge.
