Don van Vliet II

Pub team.

On the question of JGT. His complaint seems to revolve around a difference of view about the viability of his future fitness. I know very little about these matters but it sounds like a matter where players may well disagree with the management. If that is what it's about then he won't be the first player who says, 'I'm fit, let me play,' and the hierarchy says, 'No, you're not.' That in itself doesn't count as outrageous treatment to me; it sounds like a disagreement, and and possibly an honourable one. I can understand why he is cross and hurt about it (pointedly not thanking MC and Boozy shows he is angry) but it doesn't necessarily mean they were doing the dirty on him. Look at it this way... if he's almost fit and ready to return, why would the management do anything other than encourage him? All of which means I would be slow to slag off the club over this.
