"It's an impossible task" - Wolves' Rob Edwards launches defence of Sean Dyche as he reflects on challenges of modern management

Edwards believes 'brilliant' Dyche is doing a good job at Forest and says it is difficult for any manager to be a success in modern football.

"I genuinely think the whole country is quite angry at the moment, not just in football," Edwards said.

"I'm not going to go all political now. ​​​​There's not that many sets of supporters that are happy at the moment, there's a lot of anger around.

"Now you've got to win consistently and play well consistently to avoid any sort of criticism.

"Sometimes teams will have, whether it's one season or a period of success for two or three seasons, which raises everyone's expectations up. 

"It's really hard to maintain that because, let's be honest, the big clubs will always be there. A couple almost threaten it and then can't quite maintain it because some of their best players get picked off.

"People then ask 'why aren't you fifth and challenging for Europe again?' 

"I think it's an impossible task to keep everyone happy all the time. I really do.

"I think he's (Dyche) a brilliant manager. He's had an amazing career and he's always very, very good in what he does. It's just really hard to keep people happy these days."

As well as highlighting the difficulties of management, Edwards also appreciates the benefits of his job, as he tries to avoid any analysis of the job he is doing.

He said: "We all know what we're all going through and can appreciate it. That's why I've got so much respect for everyone that does it. 

"I know, especially at this level, that there's real benefits to what we do as well. I get it.

"But it can be really challenging as well because everyone's on you. 

"That's why I think I do pretty well now. I'm just in that bubble and I don't get to see or hear anything. I can kind of just keep my focus and try and work as hard as I can.

"Hopefully it's good enough, and if it's not, then you know what will happen."
