Just when you think Wolverhampton Wanderers are going to be a normal football club, back come Gestifute and Jorge Mendes to remind everyone what they signed up for.The reaction of thousands of Wolves supporters to Rob Edwards being sacked completely out of the blue — or indeed neutrals seeing the surprising news break late on Wednesday night or early on Thursday morning — will have been a collective: “What? Huh?”That will have been immediately followed by a click on Google to search “Cesar Peixoto”.Even for Wolves, even for football, this is a bit of a mad one.Sure, Edwards hardly had a convincing seven months in charge. He made some mistakes, he wasn’t universally popular with supporters, but he engineered some great results against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, and, amid extremely trying circumstances — he took over with Wolves in the midst of the worst start by any club to any season in the history of English football — it seemed certain he would lead the team in the Championship, which is effectively what he was hired to do.Why did it seem certain, even though some supporters were chanting “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Edwards as recently as last month? Well, because Wolves left no one in any doubt Edwards was supposedly staying.When Brazilian international midfielder Andre surprisingly signed a new contract on May 26, 20 days ago, a member of the Wolves media team asked him if it reflected the confidence he had in his head coach.“Rob, gaffer, gives me a lot of confidence, I am very grateful to him for everything he has done for me,” Andre said. “With the players who are coming in I believe it will be a very strong squad in which he (Edwards) will have complete control of the situation.”Andre praised Rob Edwards when surprisingly signing a new contract at Wolves (Alex Pantling/Getty Images)When ex-Newcastle United and England full-back Kieran Trippier signed for Wolves (checks notes) three days ago, he told club media this on Edwards: “I had a good chat with the manager and what struck me first was how passionate he was for helping the club move forward to get out of the Championship next season.“You just have a feeling straight away and I felt that chemistry straight away with the manager.”And when Raul Jimenez, even more surprisingly, rejoined Wolves (checks notes) two days ago after leaving Fulham, Edwards was part of the official announcement video. We’ll say that again: two days ago.To sack him immediately afterwards smacks of a club that either isn’t very good at PR, or had absolutely no idea this was happening. This shock move has the fingerprints of Mendes, Gestifute, and Fosun boss Guo Guangchang (based in China) all over it, rather than sporting director Matt Jackson or perhaps even new chairman Nathan Shi.
