I haven’t listened to the interview, but I probably don’t need to as I can guess what he had to say.
The news won’t have been new to Eddie, he will, as others have said, been in the loop. He may have also been involved in a decision...would you like to do this or buy players...etc.
It doesn’t mean he isn’t frustrated, no matter what he says and just because he doesn’t turn round and say, “yeah I’ll be off once a decent job gets offered elsewhere” that doesn’t mean privately he’s thinking that maybe just maybe he will have to move to realise his ambitions, whether that’s 5 months or 5 years time.
He’s made his view on this subject pretty clear in the not so recent past.
