Weezertron Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Yeah, they should just force him to stay home until pre-season. He can consult on the summer signings and that, when he's up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I imagine the team (staff included) will be all out to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, so Eddie does not need to rush back. Stuff like this can have a galvanising effect. Hopefully, we can get the results and take the pressure off his return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 From the BBC website, if true shows how good we've been. 'Since 14 December, only Liverpool (41) have won more top-flight points than Newcastle's 36 (W12, L4), and the Reds have played two more games than the Magpies in that period' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 There is absolutely no way on earth he isn’t sat there analysing each game and sending detailed instructions through for tonight and Villa. Completely get that he needs to rest up, but we all know the type of bloke he is and he will successfully argue that sitting in bed watching videos and writing out instructions is physically restful, if not mentally. it could hurt us not having him on touch line or changing room, but I would bet a lot of money they will be following his instructions on the training ground and sidelines, possibly even in real time if he’s watching the game and has a phone he can text from.

PRL Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just now, 54 said: Tindal said in his press conference yesterday that hes barely had any communication with Eddie bar a text to say well done after the Man United game. And Eddie said he had no update on Harvey Barnes when he was in the building having a medical. I don’t think it’s stretching to suggest the club are being as limited as possible with info to avoid being dragged into an ethical debate about rehabilitation, when the man in charge is an obsessive workaholic and will likely become more agitated and less rested if he’s not allowed to get his point across.

PRL Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just now, SteV said: I think you may be underestimating the effects of pneumonia a tad there… Possibly. Never had it myself and can only go on reading around it and completely depends on severity and many other factors, but if he was watching the game on Sunday and sending texts after it would appear he’s lucid and aware at that point, so don’t think it’s completely crazy to think come Tuesday and Wednesday he’s on a laptop sending instructions having caught up on other action in bed.

Displayname Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Also cant see Eddie managing to stay away completely during the run-in, not just that type of a guy. Do believe he hasnt been much in contact during his stay at the hospital rhough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is just delicious. I mean, we know these people talk nonsense to get callers and engagement but it's still annoying how little they know about their subject.
