We need to remember that these players also have a life outside of football, and like many of us, sometimes our personal issues can interfere with our output at work.

Hopefully the club, and I'm sure they do, take all aspects of the players affairs into consideration when making the decision to keep or cut. Like all of us though, if it keeps affecting our team/workplace, then maybe it is best for all parties to move on.


With all due respect, if I went to work and told my boss I can't perform because of some personal issues, he'd provide me with a number to call for some counselling\assistance, and then expect me to lift my game. Your employer pays you to perform, not to make excuses.

If only this was the reality.

I hate management-speak. And there is no love lost between me and my former employer, but they did have a catchy phrase for this situation:
"Professionals act as they must. Not as they feel" :old
 
Seriously, this is probably off topic, but should your workmates have to pick up the slack if something happens and it drags on. I don't mean that you should never be affected, but there's a time when you push the bounds of friendship if you expect them to carry you. Eg if you have a relative die, sure no one would expect you not to be affected, but, should you still be taking days off, or doing the "Show up" 12 mths later? At some point, you have to realise that you can't expect them to keep carrying the can for you.
