I wouldn't think that a --------------could possibly give a timescale for a broken jaw to recover somehow
If i'd been in that group of people i'd have told you all a few porkies to see if it made it onto the messageboards ( not for the 1st time )

Timescales in a sporting context are measured in how it affects the rest of the campaign or carreer and not in days, weeks, months etc and anyone close to the club would have known that information.
The how,why how long etc is a natural piece of info that others would like to know about.
That's why KH has included it in his statement.
How would it look if he said well we don't know how it happened, how bad it is or how long he will be out for.
As I said I did not ask the question, did not know the question was going to be asked or who was being asked untill after the event and was not concerned with the answer either way, it was either true or not true and because of the "porky factor" that you have mentioned.
That's why I was carefull with what I posted.
If the boards were only to be used for 100% nailed on factual truth then there would be about 2 posts every decade and no one would be on them.
Who cares anyway things always come out eventually.
In this case the original rumour was correct and the club has verified the circumstances and the implications.
The lad has broken his jaw and I wish him all the best he's been a stand out all season and will be missed but we will have to go with what we have.
