Forest Green Rovers boss Edwards now a leading candidate for Watford

Forest Green Rovers manager Rob Edwards is now a leading candidate to take control of Watford, says Alex Crook.

Edwards steered Forest Green Rovers to promotion from League Two this season. The former Wolves defender has done a fine job in charge of the club, who will be taking part in League One next time round.

But ahead of what promises to be a busy summer for the club, Edwards has been linked with a number of vacancies, with the Watford vacancy being the latest.

The Hornets are set to part ways with Roy Hodgson this summer, with the club heading back down into the Championship.

TalkSPORT reporter Crook tweeted last night:

But this comes after Edwards ruled himself out of a summer move away from Forest Green Rovers, so it looks to be another false rumour cropping up from Crook.

A new dawn for Watford?

Watford have developed a reputation for hiring obscure, European managers, giving them six or so months in the job and then sacking them when they aren’t top of whichever league they’re competing in.

Given some of the names being linked to the club in recent weeks though, the likes of QPR assistant John Eustace and now Edwards, it suggests that the Hornets are looking to take a new approach with their next boss.

Something has to change at the club after they confirmed yet another relegation back into the Football League.

Edwards is obliviously a keen manager and after taking Forest Green into League One, his stock will be high. But he looks to have no intentions of leaving the club anytime soon.
