    Getting to the point where you’d think the likes of West Brom and Boro might drag it out and screw us over just to weaken a rival. Wouldn’t blame them either.

    The German winger looked very good. Financially we have the clout to get him. We need to start wielding that clout.

    Think he'd make a good Car Salesman - I wonder if that's one of the options?

    Think I have said this before, but given how toothless we are, sign both

    Yes, with the draw to play for Koeman at a progressive club.that is now to play for Still (who?) At a regressive club. I am not hopeful

    I don’t think our head “physio” is even a qualified physio

    There is some nuance where to call yourself a physio you need to have an official qualification. For insurance purposes I mean. It doesn’t mean you can’t treat injuries. Or even necessarily that you don’t know what you are talking about in that area. But you’d think we could get someone with the qualification!

    Greg said earlier he has heard the club is being run awfully. Seems like he is saying our head physio isn’t even a qualified physio

    Blimey. Okay, well, I'm not feeling too embarrassed to be missing something there then!

    I would guess that the insurance companies would insist on the physios being fully qualified, as would the players’ union, surely.
    I used to watch a fair bit of lower level rugby union and the club I watched most (Syston RFC near Leicester) had physios who were going through the training process at university and through working with fully qualified physios.
    I can’t see a professional football club not having fully qualified physios.

    Might have had some dud information or wiki might be out of date

    Per wiki:


    Head of professional medical services Steve Wright
    Head of sports science Tom Barnden
    Sports scientist Bill Styles
    Strength & conditioning coach Mathew Banks
    Club doctor Dr. Inigo Sarriegui
    Lead performance physio Neil Simms
    First-team physio Luke Thomas

    Steve Wright, Neil Simms and Luke Thomas are all registered. Wouldn’t expect the Club Doctor on that physio register. So it might have been a reference to one of the other three assuming all of the above are still there. As I can’t imagine it’s the sort of thing kept massively up to date

    So our physios are all physios? Is that what we're saying?

    I feel like I'm in a strange other dimension here...

    Blimey, physio discussions now but zippo on the transfer front. Still, I’m sure there’s lots going on behind doors.

    The ones are aren’t are not even allowed to call themselves that. Which would be why they aren’t down as that on the list. And I am not sure who was being referred to when I heard that our head or main physio wasn’t qualified.

    So it’s not as simple as “oh look - everyone on that list with the title of physio is a qualified physio”. Because that has to be the case. But that doesn’t mean whoever is our main person in the role at this moment in time is qualified.

    I’ve just heard that since relegation we’ve been releasing staff and replacing them with cheaper alternatives. So it wouldn’t surprise me if the wiki was out of date and one or more of those qualified people on the list was no longer at the club
