We will have a full new conditioning/physio team next year, even the we had a full new team this year!! Pearson isn't happy with this area at all, and the search is currently on for next years personnel, with a considerble amount of money allocated for a sports science department

This is great news - if we want to challenge for silverware then we need to improve significantly in this area. I was shocked at how much stronger the Wigan players looked when we played them at the DW a few weeks ago - and in a salary capped sport managing injuries and getting your best players on the pitch each week is so important.

Investing in youth and sport science is as important as investing in the first team squad - so very happy about this.

Don't be surprised to see some Canadians amongst that sports science team. FC are very impressed with the player development and conditioning set up over here. I hear they are looking at the USA too.

Good....investment in this area is as important as any signing imo.

if this comes off great news we really need this improvment at the club
