Has anyone ever seen Caisely & Ken Bates in the same room?

What if BG is actually meeting the person claiming to have been representing Greenwoods? If there is an opportunity there I'd expect him to follow it up. Not contacting the players is unprofessional but imo meeting someone looking to buy the club is higher priority.

I like what your saying, does this now mean Middle East interest TT? I think we should be told!

This is barmy...My god how must you supporters be feeling?
Now the bloody players are being messed around as well?!

Like the above poster has said BG might well be meeting this Greenwoods chap, BUT not telling the players of the club is just not good practice.
You would of thought he'd need the players on his side?!

Indeed. He could have just told one of the staff at the club to contact the players...oh ...hang on

can't use gym to train, is that because they have sacked the only personnel who were qualified first aid cover.....??????

agree, you would have thought he'd have met with the captain yesterday and used that condiut into the players if nothing else. crazy, but I'm sadly not surprised by anything now.

would this not give the players grounds to walk, breach of contract from the club, failing to provide a safe working environment?

bit of a stretch i know.

I'm not sure, as I've not seen any hard and fast rules on this, but there might have to be a qualified coach or conditioner present (or at least employed by the club) or the players might not be insured while they train in the gym.

Sure, communication failure aside, has anyone considered that he may be at a meeting with a potential investor (or other club related matter) that may have resulted in the meeting today being cancelled or delayed?

In a local gym you only need to have some one who is first aid trained, not necisarily gym qualified so in essence the receptionist only needs to be in. I don't know if it is the same for sports clubs and they need some one who has a more specialised quals (not necesarily first aid) or like some one said there may be no one who is first aid qualified left but was one of those made redundant the physio?

At which point would the players become free agents

I think the difference being you go to a local gym, you sign a disclaimer "I'm an adult using equipment at my own risk, blah, blah, blah". The Bulls are using the gym as part of their work remit, therefore different rules will apply - one being I assume that they can only use the gym with "x" professional there (whether this is a physio, coach I haven't a clue".

I'm sure a lot of players used to go to public gyms. Can they not still do so?
