Wolves boss welcomes hierarchy change

New boss Edwards is now targeting a long-term project at Wolves and believes Jackson's promotion will aid his cause.

"We've met briefly in the past but since I've been here our working relationship is really, really good," Edwards said.

"He's a really good guy, I can tell already he's going to be very supportive.

"We're going to work together really closely on everything, so that's pretty exciting and it's good.

"I'm pleased for him and it's probably a good thing that the role is in place and everyone can see that we know what the structure is.

"I see that as a real positive and so far I'm really, really pleased. I've got a really good relationship going with him."

Chairman Jeff Shi spoke of a 'reset' at Wolves when Edwards was appointed and although the head coach recognises the supporters need to rebuild their relationship with the hierarchy, he hopes he can bring stability to the struggling club.

He said: "There's loads of reasons why I came here but the plan and the fact we are trying to see this as a long-term thing gave me a lot of belief in taking the role.

"I'm confident in this going forward and I know then there's probably things for outside of here and for the supporters to build some of that again, but that's for us to prove now."

Edwards added: "I'll try give everything I can to bring consistency and success to the club.

"I'm well aware when I joined this club there's been some changes and I know the risks that come with it.

"When we take these jobs we all back ourselves, there's a belief and an ego there that we all have, to be the one that can stick around for a while.

"That's certainly what I hope to do, I haven't joined this club to be gone in a few months.

"But that's going to come with consistency and results."
