Events

16
  1. Struggled with training intensity

    Minor
    Cause
    His condition and recent minutes made the session harder than usual, so staff treated it as fatigue rather than attitude.
  2. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  3. Window closed with no move

  4. Asked the club to find him a new team

    Minor
    Cause
    Ongoing dressing-room dynamics drove this.

    The medical team cleared him, but the staff are protecting him from a rushed comeback.
