Wolves legend Edwards: Coady should not have been allowed to leave

Wolves legend David Edwards believes the club was wrong to let Conor Coady leave.

The ex-captain of the club, Coady is now at Everton on loan for the rest of this season.

Per The Telegraph, Everton can sign him permanently for a very modest fee before his loan expires.

“I think it was only four or five players who went over at the end of the game (against West Ham), and that makes me think Bruno [Lage - now sacked ex-manager] made a big mistake in some of the players he let go," Edwards wrote in his column for the Express and Star.

"Such as Coady, John Ruddy and Romain Saiss.

“When you lose players who have been at the football club for a long time, all of a sudden, you lose a little bit of soul out of the dressing room. People who know the football club, and know what is expected of a Wolves player.

“I guarantee if Coady was playing on Saturday, every single one of those players would have been over there to clap the fans. My worry is when the chips are down, who is in there to galvanise them and show what it means? I feel that is one area where possibly Bruno did go wrong."
