Edwards was onto a no-win situation - Bull

Wolves legend Steve Bull has labelled the dismissal of head coach Rob Edwards "a shock" after he signed onto a "no-win" situation last season.

Edwards left Middlesbrough, who were in second place in the Championship at the time, to join the then-winless Wolves side in the Premier League.

"It's a shock to me because I thought last year when he first came in, he was onto a no-win situation," Bull told BBC Radio WM.

"I thought it was 30% to keep us in the Premier League and 70% to get us back in there but it's one of those things. Football can be cruel sometimes."

However, Bull remains open-minded over the future of his former club, including the links to Gil Vicente manager Cesar Peixoto.

"He [Edwards] did a good job in the short time he was there and I want to wish him all the best," Bull added.

"Change is for the best sometimes. Sometimes you need to sharpen things up, freshen things up.

"It might be a little bit like when we had Nuno [Espirito Santo, who led Wolves to promotion to the top flight in 2018], nobody knows anything about him but the team might come and do a good job. Who knows?"
