The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
Criticised in a full-time post-mortem
Minor

It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run.
Outlook
Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
Frustrated after the club rejected interest from MTK Budapest
Moderate
Cause
Stage: the bid was rejected. It became public after the bid was rejected. It would be a lateral move. A bid has already been rejected. The talk has begun to distract him.
Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Led the defence in a tight match
Minor
Cause
He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.
Reassured by a calm full-time message
Minor
Cause
The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. A repeated team-talk tone had less impact than usual.
Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
Signed a new contract
Moderate
Cause
He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.
Stage: concrete interest. The interested club has formally approached. It would be a lateral move. His ambition is outgrowing the current project. The talk has begun to distract him.
Outlook
Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.
Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy
Minor
Cause
The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Made his senior debut for the club
Reassured by a calm full-time message
Minor
Cause
The moment called for a quiet show of support. The message was about confidence as much as performance — his morale had been low.
Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
