I think I am influenced by the fact that I really want to believe that he is out of hospital. Football aside he comes over as a really genuine guy and I just wish him a full recovery

Did he say that specifically? I just heard him say there was “no further update”, which I took to mean ‘we’re not telling you anything more’.

I thought I saw it quoted but can’t find it again so I may be wrong.

I’d rather lose every game for the rest of the season than see the bloke do something potentially dangerous.  He’ll be back when he’s back

 

Aye. I had pneumonia in my early 30s, I was in really good nick and was training for the GNR at the time, running over 5 hours a week. It absolutely wiped the floor with me to the extent where walking upstairs felt like an incredible feat in the first few weeks. My lungs have never been the same since tbh.

He probably is out by now with it been just over a week since he was admitted. 

Still be a while before he's back at work though. 

 

Booted out of hospital because they're desperate for beds and only has 3 days left on his sicknote before he goes on SSP is what I heard

 

Also NUFC have put a bid in to temporarily loan the Popemobile for Eddie to use on the training ground.

Pope mobile may be busy, considering what's been going on at the Vatican recently.

Must be true then. 

The sooner people stop believing these bellends on Twitter, Facebook and the like the better. Sadly it won’t ever happen.

Newcastle United are set to issue an official statement ahead of the Ipswich Town game regarding Eddie Howe, according to various sources 

Saying?

Can we have an official latest update in the title please? If Tindall said he's still in the hospital on Saturday - that should be it.

He should probably just take the rest of the season to recover. 

Very selfishly, I think that would be the difference in us qualifying for the CL or not.

 

We've had lots of bad halves this season. But I feel like Eddie would've went tighter/more defensive

Not sure he would have necessarily, we've had games like that previously when it's gone badly wrong, and not been able to change much. To tighten up defensively, we'd have needed to do it from the off, maybe a similar gameplan to the one we deployed at Arsenal in the cup semi final, but I am not sure Howe would have done that following five wins on the run.

 

But it will impact our performances if Howe is not back soon, Tindall's interviews don't inspire confidence for more than a couple of games.

Let’s see how we respond against Ipswich. 1 game at a time. Hope Eddie is on the mend whether we see him

or not anytime soon and he gets all the recovery time he needs. It’s still in our hands.

it must be so gutting for him to miss out on this run in which could complete one of the best seasons in the club's history 

 

I do think it will impact the team unfortunately, his attention to detail, motivation techniques and tactical nouse etc

 

thankfully he was able to deliver a trophy first and enjoy the celebrations 

 

I always worried that his obsessive work ethic could lead to burn out so just hope he takes all the time he needs to fully recover 

 

it sounds like something that hits you like a ton of bricks and you're overcome with fatigue for weeks 

 

terrible for him and bad luck for us, at least we're still in a great position

People making out the performance/result against Villa would have been different if Eddie had have been there are way off the mark in my opinion. 
 

Just let him fully recover and recuperate I say and come back when he's ready.

Don’t think it would change result, but it certainly does change the mood post game and on training ground having him there. He’s the leader.

 

Requires likes of Trips / Burn / Bruno G etc all stepping up as a leadership group to carry out what Howe has been doing to date. Tindall will be able to do so much but that leadership aspect he won’t have.

His recovery is the most important thing and the worst thing he could do is rush back, but, it must be at the point where it will be affecting us to some extent.

 

Eddie has said before that his process is that as soon as one game finishes he moves on to planning for the next, his training sessions are then planned to work on stuff specific to the next match.

 

Other than that first match back in 2023 he has had the upper hand over Emery tactically every match since

 

If the manager not being there really doesn't make a difference then Eddie wouldn't need to work as hard as he obviously does.

Don’t think it’s wild to suggest a top class manager could make difference to a result or performance mind. Not just on match day but in the week building up. It’s literally why we have managers. Agree with the last point of course.
