Going back three or four weeks when I was told of the family issues that Leon had, I thought we would have had a statement from the club on the lines of 'compassionate leave' it makes more sense and is enough for the fans to understand, but you know old Jinx, he just loves the old smoke screen and mirrors!................![]()
Compassionate leave??
Leon Britton is a senior professional football player not a 15 year old girl. Even if he has 'personal problems' do you think he's going to be sitting in his bedroom sobbing to a Justin Bieber song? Work doesn't just stop when you have relationship problems. I'd guess probably 50% of footballers have personal issues and I bet playing is a welcomed relief to them. Leon has a knee injury that is why he is out injured.

Yes but Monk is in the mold of touchy feely Brenden Rodgers so therefore its good management to be caring and sharing . Brenden used to let his players take days off to see family away all the time, one of the reasons he was loved so much by Ash probably. Laudrup was a different kettle of fish and he didn't care for those kinds of things.
Personally, if Leon needs time off and Monk thinks thats the best way to manage it then fair enough .

you stick a sock in it and stop making things up and insinuating leons personal life, It has absolutely nothing to do with you....you know jack **** what is going on and why should you....he is injured and thats about the only thing any of us know end of....
