John Bateman #268

People say players come back from injury and start straight away, what they don’t factor in is the weeks of body contact that happens before it to be ready. Bateman has had zero body contact he has just been keeping fit in no doubt a hired gym setup. 2-4 weeks isn’t long time.

Bring him back through reserves.
Him sitting on his arse helps no one.
 
When you consider the value of his contract and the Visa issue and his transfer fee paid , one would wonder how much due diligence was given to his fitness before signing off. Geez if I bought a Ferrari and found I had to park it my garage for six weeks as they forgot to include the wheels I would not have paid for or taken delivery of it till it was ready to roll. But I am just a mere fan 🤔

Honestly this is the best example of our club being run by wankers. Just say he's injured instead of "the offence against our professionalism, integrity and ability to conduct our affairs as one would expect from a professional organisation" or whatever a lawyer would say.

He probably doesn’t even know about the Matt Ballin fiasco and other such f)&@ ups. He was probably chasing Ambos.
 
So it has to be a serious injury , because he has not played a match since the World Cup , r do they wait till the season is about to start to get it looked at , seems to happen a lot

Assuming he is injured. If he is the club is so freaken stupid. It's much better to be up front.

It's not just Lee either. Sheens is also lying through his teeth.

My issue is that even if a small niggle is only 1% of the reason he is being held back, then the chairman's faux outrage is pathetic, I'm not a huge Sheens fan but I can understand a coach being cagey- a chair should just be silent on these things.

To me it's the same thing but Lee always does that. I think he thinks he is a tough guy or something. I don't get it.

It's this type of performative nonsense that is embarrassing.

I like Lee.

I like the fact that a shrewd and successful business man, who happens to be a successful lawyer, is in a position of power within the club.

But he desperately needs a PR intervention. His public image, and justifiably so, is a dumpster fire at the moment.

He certainly means well and has the clubs best interests at heart but nearly everytime he opens his mouth it seems to be an unmitigated disaster.He really should just stay quiet in the background
