Sources close to the situation say Edwards was willing to complete all the duties from which he has been removed, and that Middlesbrough will make the decisions regarding Friday’s training session and press conference and Saturday’s match.
Middlesbrough are believed to have been angered by Wolves’ approach and Edwards’ willingness to accept the job.
Edwards is understood to view the Wolves job as his dream role, having made more than 100 appearances for the Molineux side between 2004 and 2008.
He grew up in nearby Telford and still has family in the area, although the logistics of any move to Wolves is not said to be a key factor.
