Break could give Edwards 'new lease of life'
What could Rob Edwards bring to Middlesbrough?

Former Luton Town boss Rob Edwards is tipped to fill the vacant managerial role at Middlesbrough - but what can the 42-year-old bring to the role?
Edwards led the Hatters to promotion but subsequently couldn't keep them in the Premier League and struggled again on their return to the Championship.
As a consequence, he left Luton in January, but BBC Radio 3CR's Geoff Doyle told BBC Radio Tees that his time away will have done the former Aston Villa defender much good upon his potential return to the second tier.
"It looked to me that Rob needed a break from football. It felt like he needed months off just to sort himself out," Doyle said.
"I think this time off would have really helped him, recharged the batteries.
"Coach-wise, he needs time. He needs to work on his system and how he wants to play at Boro.
"Tactically and as a coach, he's decent. I'm just hoping that the break would have given him a new lease of life and that he's back to his normal best."
