Football does not deal well with mental illness. Maybe it’s changing but the support mechanisms are so often not there. I’ve spoken to so many players who have been told to go to the Sporting Chance clinic and they’ve refused because they know, if they take time off, they’ll lose their place in the team. Someone steps in and does well, so you’re gone. That dissuades people from getting help. You feel obliged to get on with things.
This paragraph is really eye opening to me at least.
"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane
By reading most of that ill be surprised if we dont give him one more chance to prove himself if hes fit enough if only to sell!
That's the point. He (rather his agent) tried that last year by placing a story in the Guardian about him digging irrigation ditches in Africa with his own hands/ taking care of Freddie the Leper....
Have to admit I think this goes beyond football now. Whether it's a biased view of the owners or not it seems they're more worried about saving a buck than a person's wellbeing. There is a mention of Clarke Carlisle in there and like with him I feel that Ollie knows the lad needs an arm around him. Think it's best for Caulker to have a year still here with Ollie to get him mentally stable and anything else is a benefit to us

“The manager has texted me several times offering his support and saying he wants me at the club but my new representative has been informed by the owners I’m not welcome back."
