Training facilities and parachute payments


Recommended Posts

Having seen football focus at Swansea and their training facilities which include altitude and chryo chambers aiding recovery which I presume we don’t have it just shows what a few seasons in the premiership can give you, building infrastructure etc. Maybe if we had all these state of the art facilities we wouldn’t have all the injuries we have had over recent years. So clubs coming down don’t just have the advantages of parachute payments but also facilities.

Arsenal have long been one of the few clubs to have a UEFA 5 Star medical facility at their training ground - their pitches are as good as it gets and exactly replicate their stadium pitch. They are dripping with highly qualified and experienced staff - they have acres of space and every piece of recovery, prevention, fitness and rehab equipment known to man

 

So why do they get so many injuries - and so many long term ones?

Good post Scram if anybody has an answer I'm guessing it would be you would welcome your thoughts if any. Just a thought but how easy would it be for a player these days to "fake" the extent of an injury?. Was told by somebody who had contacts in the club that Hirsty amongst others could milk it.

Any player can feign injury - nobody can deny another persons symptoms

 

Even if a player is suspected of over reporting their symptoms no medical professional can prove it

 

The onus is on the player to accurately report - not the medic to try to 2nd guess what they "really" mean

Pretty much the answer i expected.Suppose in some cases if a player is getting dogs from the fans you couldn't blame them.

Or just employ a manager who knows what he is doing like we've just done, instead of Coco et al who flogged our player to death.

All that new age egg chambers testicles Monk talked up before he fell on his face there?  Great expenditure.

By the default logic about state of the art facilities then surely every lower level team should be inundated with multiple injuries?

 

Strange that some people put some leverage on the comments of the font off all football knowledge - Chris Turner

 

The man with the reverse Midas Touch as a coach/manager/football director - but somehow expert at forensic scientific evaluation of turf technology...
