And when the second opinion from the expert is completely different to what your medical department is saying time and time again on a consistent basis, then that raises questions about the quality you have at your own club.
I think, I don't know what your situation was at City, et cetera, Joe, but from the clubs, I've had many conversations with medical staff in and outside of football, and it's not their fault, the budget, they're not allocated a budget to build a first-class medical department.
you're signing players for 50, 60, 70 odd million pounds.
And then you're not giving the budget to the people tasked with taking care of those players.
So then you're spending all that money.
Dominic Solanke, for example, Spurs spent 60 odd million on him.
He spent most of the season injured.
because you're not spending the money, the budget, some of the budget on the medical team to be able to facilitate someone like Dominic Solanke.
And I think that's the biggest problem.
Everywhere I've been, it's been the biggest problem that the clubs are not giving budgets to the medical departments to equal the value of the player they're signing.
It's the muscle injuries, the reoccurring muscle injuries, which are the bigger problems rather than the unlucky ACL ones.
Attitude.
I think first and foremost now, there's got to be no...
no bad character energy.
That's one thing that has to go.
And that's, that's a rule at one of the, like Brighton and Brentford, these guys is no, I don't want to say the word.
And that has to be the minimum because you let that grow.
You let, especially like senior players with big voices, you let them sort of,
infect other players and it becomes a horrible, I've been in many, many horrible dressing rooms and you need to cut it at the source.
If there is one or two who doesn't have the right attitude, you have to get rid of them before they infect the whole group.
