Would think people in the gym would know if it was Justin,

Some of the tweets from people and players and their tone make me worried for him. Fingers crossed.

Get well soon Justin everyone is concerned for you, hope you have a speedy recovery and come back fit and healthy again

Very concerning news and reading some of the players' tweets perfectly shows how well Justin is regarded by his staff and squad - we all wish you well, Justin.

Justin's made the South Wales Argus this morning - Newport based, he's still regarded with great respect for his time at Newport County. Wishing him well, but as stated by the Argus they've picked up their info from the LOFC Statement yesterday. so, unable to shed any light on why he was taken to hospital 'unexpectedly'. Continue to pray for him and his family.

The more time that goes by without an update, the more I’m concerned that his condition is serious. My best wishes are with him and his family.

Yes I share your concern . It does seem from the players tweets last night that he may be in a bad way. All we can do is wait and hope. I'm sure everyone's thoughts are for Justin and his family. pray the next news we get is positive

Just heard that he may have been flown by ambulance to hospital, from a Chelmsford gym. That does not sound great.

Not necessarily the case that things are not good. he may be having treatment eg antibiotics by drip, appendix removal, 24 hour obs etc etc, none of which is 'serious' but requires time in hospital.

How about you all stop the guesswork

May as well close the forum then

Not the time or the place lads. Speculation doesn't help anybody, clearly the gaffer isn't in good shape. Let's not turn this thread away from Justin at the moment.

If don't want people to speculate, 5hrn tell them the truth.

The club/ family issue press statement telling half a story....it's only natural people speculate on other half of story.

Its a private family matter. We dont need or deserve to know.


Get well soon Justin.

I'm sure there will be another statement when the time is right.

For now this situation is for Justin and his family and friends, we are all concerned but in effect it has little to do with any of us, being a football manager means little at a time like this.

Well said.

It is a little crass but does speculation hurt anybody?

All that matters regards anyones health issues is for them and there close family. This is the same for anyone on this message board and when the family feel comfortable making the situation known to others that is there choice. From personal experience my mind at the time was in a bubble and outsiders dont come into consideration. Time will pass and things will become known.

Totally agree Max.

There is now an update of sorts on twitter from the club.

No details of Justins condition but thanking everyone for their concern and best wishes. The Club is supporting the Edinburgh family and club medical staff are working with specialist teams at the hospital where Justin is receiving the best possible care.

From @KentTeague; "Justin & his family @Charliedinburgh are in our family's thoughts & prayers. We're very thankful for the people who assisted yesterday morning & those who continue to care for him. As yall know I have a deep affection for Justin. I just want him to be better soon. #InJustWeTrust"

Will Ling be interim manager until JE is fit to return?

My guess is it will be Ross Embleton with Danny Webb.

Not sure I trust them to identify new players without JE's input. Hope he will be well enough to provide that.

Players will be identified already.

While Justin recovers I think Danny Webb or Jobi may get to steady the ship until hopefully we get JE back. I don't see Ross as anything other than an assistant. Main thing remains Justins health.
