You'd really think that they would be better informed than any of us (not you obvs), wouldn't you?
Just a thought..... :shrug:
Whoever you are, however much money you have, being in a job where you are made to feel incapable of doing it - be it rightly or wrongly can be really stressful and soul destroying. I'm surprised there aren't more footballers we hear about struggling with mental health issues when they aren't playing. It can be difficult for us to sympathise, as most of us would give our right arm to be paid a fortune for doing football training a few times a week and then sitting on a bench or treatment table. For a lot of people, not just footballers, their job is a big part of their identity both inwards in terms of how they feel about themselves and outwards in how they project themselves to others. To be sidelined, told you aren't good enough, made to play with the youth teams, told you are too fat etc etc must be a massive blow to the ego for a lot of players. Imagine that happened to you in your career - marginalised, forced out, degraded - that would be awful, and no less so if any/all of the criticism was justified. I've seen people appointed to jobs they clearly weren't capable of and eventually forced out - and it is a horrible thing to watch, some people seem to brush it off without a care - while others it visibly crushes. Difficult decisions have to be made in elite sport, and we can't have a scenario where players who aren't good enough are kept involved not to hurt their feelings, but it seems as though we could maybe be better as a society at handling this kind of thing. Apologies for the semi coherent block of text, my return key has stopped working on my keyboard.
I think Tomlin is informed enough. Funnily enough he did mention it.Quote:

Don't always have to be right.
Not sure he had enough white tee shirts though…

We were chatting about Tomlin in work today, and someone suggested that he'd been moved on, because he was a bit of a trouble-maker. I've heard that said about certain players in the past - that they cause upset in the dressing room. Anyone else heard this about Tomlin?
