Hmmmmm Not surprised at all by this TBH, that Eales line stuck out like a sore thumb and I thought Eddie would come back with something. I've said this a few times on here before as I think it's very telling but no-one seems to agree He's a head coach who consistently refers to himself as the manager. It might seem like semantics to some but it's always been intentional from him IMO, there are clear differences between the two roles and we have heard countless times in the press how he has final say on transfers. That's not normally the remit of a head coach. I think he wants that authority to continue or he's threatening to leave. Those Eales quotes suggest he might have a fight on his hands. The fact that Mitchell apparently turned us down a few months ago and has then come in as AS has left adds a further layer of intrigue as well, I think. What's changed to make him change his mind? Not saying I think Eddie's off, and I really hope he isn't, but there's clearly some work to be done.

Says twice that Eddie was one of the reasons he joined.

Oh great. Now whoever the new RW is, we won’t see them until February.
-
On this 'secret contract' I recall it being fairly widely reported that he had signed an extension but the term was never revealed. Am I thinking of an earlier contract? Summer before last? I'm sure it wasn't that long ago.
-
No it isn’t
-
Also, he’s exceptionally good at his job.
-
Fucking hell, an actual transfer Bath
-
Would have gone home.
-
You’re wrong.
-
Great news. He needs to go, the earlier the better.

-
All of the major US sports leagues have systems in place to assure parity.
-
Questions, Chuck, askin em.
-
What I was trying to say was he’s probably worth more this summer than he is next, but you’re right that depends on his form.
-
But I also believe this. Ultimately it depends on what they offer, as plenty of others have said.
-
i really don't want him to go but it would make sense on a number of levels. We already have a ready made replacement in the squad (although not as good) and he's got 2 years left on his contract. It's either cash in now or a big new contract. His value only goes down from here.

Isak in attack, shit keepers at the back.

Neither am I, but I can see it changing.
