For @Telegraph, I wrote about the case of the missing masterpieces at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Where are great works by William and May Morris, the city's radical Surrealists, Sandro Botticelli, Orazio Gentileschi, Simone Martini, Eugène Delacroix and Canaletto?

@Wolves Now?! This ‘focus’ should have started when Edwards was appointed.

@CharmOfCulture You clearly haven’t visited Wolverhampton yet.

@MrRyanLeister @TheWolvesReport @TalkingWolves @daveazzopardi @Nocky1982 For me, the worrying thing about his outburst is that it reveals that there is no plan in place. Starting from the day he was appointed, he should have been organising for next season.

If there is a strategy, he’d have the confidence to say so.
