Rob Edwards celebrates
Rob Edwards guided Forest Green Rovers to promotion from League Two this season

Rob Edwards is expected to be the new manager of the club.

Roy Hodgson is set to leave the Hornets at the end of the season after failing to prevent them from being demoted to the Championship.

Forest Green, who won the League Two title last week, said that the negotiations behind our backs took place.

Forest Green said they had no contact from the city of Watford.

We wish Rob well, forgive him the manner of his departure, and thank him for his work at Forest Green.

Dale Vince said thatWatford advised Rob not to tell them. That is related to the deception. Deceit is part of a culture that comes from the top.

Since the start of the year, Hornets have had eight permanent managers.

He was the coach of England's youth teams before taking over at Rovers.

Forest Green was promoted from League Two to the Football League.

Forest Green said that Rob was a key part of the team that gained promotion to League one.

On an interim basis, he was the manager of Wolves and Telford United.

He moved to Forest Green to become head coach of the country's Under-16s side from 2020 before leaving to work as a coach in the England Under-20s setup.
