Events

  1. Contract talks stalled over squad status

    Moderate
    Cause
    The wage was acceptable, but he wanted clearer first-team guarantees.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  2. Settling well into the dressing room

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.
  3. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  4. Asked the club to find him a new team

    Minor
    Cause
    Ongoing dressing-room dynamics drove this.

  9. Clashed with Brian Musa over training standards

  10. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
