BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor gives his assessment on the surprise sacking of Wolves boss Rob Edwards.
But unusually for the replacement of a manager, that is not quite the main issue here.that Edwards and his staff first found out their jobs were in peril from social media.
There is nothing to recommend that method of operating, but it is a fair guess from the amount of appearances Edwards has made in the club's media channels around the signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez this week that they were not the only ones in the dark. On the club's own news page right now, below the sombre statement confirming Edwards' departure, a link leads to Trippier saying: "What struck me first was how passionate he was for helping the club move forward... you just have a feeling straight away and I felt that chemistry straight away with the manager.
"Still, Trippier must have worked for enough bosses by now to be able to shrug after the initial shock. It's always been a jungle out there. The new coach, if it is indeed to be Cesar Peixoto, has no English track record to cause either concern or optimism. Neither did Nuno, and look what happened.
Mind you, neither did Walter Zenga, and look what happened. It is perhaps not ideal that after a few weeks of everyone agreeing that one of last season's problems was hiring so many players who had no experience of English football, Wolves now look to be hiring a coach who has no experience of English football.
But it is nevertheless entirely possible that he will do a fine job, and be given good players to help him do it, as Nuno was. What is the influence of the super-agent Jorge Mendes now? Is the work done for several months by the recruitment team, under Matt Jackson, now of any relevance? Will a new Mendes-aligned manager unlock a new raft of high-quality Mendes-aligned players?
We'll all find out together. Win the first few games, and everyone will be on board. This decision may turn out to be good. It may turn out to be bad.
All we can say at the moment is that a lot of things about it are weird.
