  1. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Serious
    Cause
    His relationship with the manager has soured. Manager trust is low. He has already raised this with the manager recently.

    Contract request risk increased.
  2. He has started to want: Permission to leave if the offer is right

    Mind
  3. Manager trust is eroding

    Moderate
    Cause
    The discussion was a follow-up on a previous promise. Staff had already warned him about this in the last few weeks.
    Outlook

  4. Returned to full training after injury

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

  6. Praised in a satisfied full-time talk
