Saints physio to leave club for Manchester United

I think he may have had his tongue in his cheek. In my two conversations with academy coaches (yes, a whole 2!), we have mainly talked about biomechanics and Matt is held up to be a good physio, but a disciple of Mo (Gimpel). Not so great on the prehab, but there are very few physios in football that are. Good, but replaceable.

 

Pretty much every drama queen post in this thread is sarcastic.

 

We have lost backstage staff before without blinking. We lost our head groundsman to new Wembley for a start. It is interesting that the Mail think it worth commenting...partly because of going with the 'United in trouble' theme and partly because it suggests that everyone thinks that what Saints have must be worth having.

 

and I meant because United need to sign a CB, not a physio

 

Gaston says he has a great touch

 

And Gaston should know!
Wonder who Hull's physic is?

 

Yes, don't worry - I was being sarcastic.

Mo Gimpel is one who really runs the sport science/medical department and I'm sure between himself and Les Reed they'll find an able successor, if they haven't already.

 

Is Gimpel being a physiotherapist a case of nominative determinism?

 

How long has Matt been at the club? Honestly can't blame him for going to Man Utd. Not just the profile but the fact that he is from the NW of England anyway. Can't help feeling that his skill and presence here will have helped to build an elemenet of natural succession. We should be able to attract soem of the best in the business if not.

 

Physios all over the country will be sprucing up their CVs to apply for a job here.

 

Let's not even think about the Arsenal physio though.

 

*Passes the salt shaker*

Please, take a pinch.

 

I'm thinking about the Chelsea physio.

 

Adam Blackmore on Twitter:

"The #saintsfc meltdown continues - physio Matt Radcliffe due to link up with #mufc in due course "

"#saintsfc Radcliffe has not been 'stolen' by #mufc as some would have you think - his family are up north, he's from there & job came up"

 

Too sensible. We haven't had a panic for far too long. #headlesschickens

 

Poor chap may be desperate to kick start his career

 

I'm always thinking about her

 

Is it "breaking news" on SSN yet? Has David Cameron or Nigel Farage given their comment to the media?

 

Yes, apparently on finding out that Radcliffe is from the NW, Farage was allegedly heard to mutter that the dirty, Northern, Foreigner is welcome to head back oop there.

 

Why he'd want to go to Utd, he'll only sit on their bench.
