Mental health matters. But this fella is clearly swinging the lead. -
This paragraph is really eye opening to me at least.Football does not deal well with mental illness. Maybe it’s changing but the support mechanisms are so often not there. I’ve spoken to so many players who have been told to go to the Sporting Chance clinic and they’ve refused because they know, if they take time off, they’ll lose their place in the team. Someone steps in and does well, so you’re gone. That dissuades people from getting help. You feel obliged to get on with things."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

By reading most of that ill be surprised if we dont give him one more chance to prove himself if hes fit enough if only to sell!Comment

Think we should give him another chance IF he reduces his wages to next to nothing for the final year or reduces them to nothing at all!Originally posted by Pinkie View Post
However, will assume he will move on to another club who will pay him a reasonable wedgeMy old man never said be a Chelsea fan...Comment

That's the point. He (rather his agent) tried that last year by placing a story in the Guardian about him digging irrigation ditches in Africa with his own hands/ taking care of Freddie the Leper....Originally posted by Pinkie View PostComment

Have to admit I think this goes beyond football now. Whether it's a biased view of the owners or not it seems they're more worried about saving a buck than a person's wellbeing. There is a mention of Clarke Carlisle in there and like with him I feel that Ollie knows the lad needs an arm around him. Think it's best for Caulker to have a year still here with Ollie to get him mentally stable and anything else is a benefit to usi supported qpr in the glory days when chris kiwomya and michael ngonge played up front

“The manager has texted me several times offering his support and saying he wants me at the club but my new representative has been informed by the owners I’m not welcome back."Comment

And as soon as Clarke Carlisle was fit enough he bu**ered off.Comment

Very complex issue this stuff but I cant help being sceptical about this article.Comment

I was worried it was just me being skeptical about this.
If true, very brave to come out and say it all.
However, all feels like deja vu from last year. Also blaming having lots of money for his problems doesn't sit right with me.My old man never said be a Chelsea fan...Comment
