Edwards is expected to appoint the vastly experienced coach Paul Trollope, currently at Southampton, to his backroom staff. Links to Joleon Lescott, another former Wolves player, have been dismissed. Harry Watling, a former Rangers coach, will join from Middlesbrough.
A move to hire Wrexham defender Conor Coady as a coach has been explored but sources claim it is highly unlikely. Coady played for Wolves when Edwards was coaching there.
Funds will be made available for the January transfer window for either permanent or loan signings. The calibre of players will clearly depend on where Wolves are in the table, and if there remains a realistic chance of survival.
While fans will be sceptical, Fosun acknowledges it has made more mistakes in this torrid season.
The absence of Premier League experience is one major error it accepts. None of the six summer signings, aside from Czech Republic international Ladislav Krejci, have impressed.
Fosun also wants to find solutions inside the club without relying on external influences, such as ‘super agent’ Jorge Mendes’s Gestifute agency.
Matt Jackson, the current director of recruitment and player development, is expected to be promoted to the role of sporting director.

Back off the mendes train. Still fucking pissed we told hobbs to leave instead of giving him the keys to the castle.
Things won’t get better until Shi is gone. We’ve got progressively worse in the last 4 years thanks to his ‘mistakes’. If he’s still making them now, he always will.
We’ve hardly played Tolu or Lopez so how can they say they’ve failed?
In absence of any remaining competent operational staff, mildew Maureen has now been promoted to head of player recruitment from her previous role as chief toilet cleaner.
Her replacement will be dribbling Derek who is being promoted from his current role of junior urinal cake rotation officer.
This position will be covered by the senior urinal cake rotation officer until further notice.
It’s what you get when the cream rises and the Jeff treats it like the head on a German beer.
FUCK ME. This could genuinely be satire. Back away from Mendes, promote the next most senior person to a role probably too big for them and hope. This is fucking bonkers. I look forward to all the stories about how they’re looking for British players who are young and hungry, how they acknowledge they need to rebuild a connection with the fans. Then in 18 months we can brief out that Mendes is back in town, sack Edwards and hire Roberto Portugeusinho from the third tier of the United Arab Emirati league and install his gardener as Director of Football. Useless ARSEHOLES.
