Rob Edwards - the prodigal son returns

[BillyDee]

I didn't expect GON to get the boot until our players started kicking off at the end of games. If Rob avoids that sort of situation he'll see out the season.

We didn't win a league game for 6 months under Vitor and he was still here. RE isn't getting sacked this season.

We didn't play a competitive game for 3 of those 6 months.

If we keep losing then he'll go plus Edwards won't be able to protect his reputation long enough to be someone who can be trusted to rebuild the club, his credibility would be in tatters.

I’m guessing Rob is already scouring Premiership teams where someone who cost a lot of money has not fitted in, or older players with experience who still fancy a bit of first team football.

I think results are only one part of the equation.

As long as his relationship with players and fans doesn't do south (as both did with VP), he'll be fine this season

How can his relationship with the fans survive if he doesn't pick up any points though? Against Palace the place emptied after the 2nd goal and for all of his posturing in front of the away end after the game yesterday it wasn't exactly a rousing reception for him. I was trying to sing his name in the first half and nobody was joining in. It won't take much to go from that to being actively hostile towards him if he keeps losing, whether that's his fault or not.

The players can go fuck themselves.

Edward’s will be here until the end of the season even if we lose every game. No point tarnishing a new manager’s reputation with an inevitable relegation. Whether he lasts longer probably depends how things go. At a guess, if we get to 20 points or more and he probably deserves to stay, less than 15 and he should be sacked. In between and it depends on performances and evidence of progression.

The mystery for me is why appointed a manager with the Championship in mind when in he failed spectacularly to turn Luton’s fortunes around after relegation.
