no matter what. if its stress then its a serious issue. Stress in alot of companys gets under looked as many people clame stress as an easy way out. If someone has legit stress issues then its not a nice thing to suffer. As soon as people here stress now-a-days people think they are trying to pull a fast one. Mental health and stress are very serious issues espesically among men that are not willing to admit it.

I just hope that he gets back to normal soon and gets back into the B&W shirt !!

The club should support him as much as they can and, hopefully, he will get back to his very best !

Let's hope he gets thing sorted and gets back on the field for us. I do hope that the club support him but if there's no realistic potential for him to come back then they may need to make some tough decisions

Good on the club for supporting him and hopefully Gleeson can use his time away to sort his problems out.

His contribution to Hull was immediately evident and we need him back as soon as is practically possible.

We dont know why he is stressed...just assuming you know!!
Glad the club is sticking by him hope he gets sorted soon

Best wishes to him and I hope he gets the treatment he needs. Come on Martin your club needs you!

Having suffered from stress related to a personal situation outside work in my younger years, I was really ill and was rather pleased that my employer honoured his moral obligations to support me and paid me whilst I recovered. Without that support and the stability it provided and the confidence it engendered I would have been worse. I hope I repayed their loyalty to me in later years.

We don't 'know' why Gleeson is stressed and its pretty pathetic to pre judge that situation, its also sad to see that some seem to be almost dissapointed that the ridiculous rumours that were circulating are not true. Some people who have never suffered it see it as 'a none condition' or even a sign of weakness but for me Mental illness, stress depression etc are serious conditions and I for one wish Martin well and hope that we see him back in the centre soon, he certainly looked good when he was out there for us! Good Luck Martin!

i hope we see Martin back soon, i`ve seen at first hand the effect stress has had on one of my close relatives and it is a serious illness, lets hope he gets all the medical help and support he needs to get through this.

Best wishes to Martin Gleeson. Hope you feel better soon.

Any particular reason why you've used quote marks around the word stress?

Think carefully before answering...

Also wondering when Gleeson and/or the club provided you with full details of his condition and the cause.

Stress has effects on the body and mental health of people who are suffering from it.
The last thing someone who is stresed needs is for their employer to turn around and dump them.
So the club are doing the right thing. Well done

I hope Martin all the best no matter what happens.

FFS!! And your a forum moderator????

Did you not read

Would love to know these FACT you reckon we all know.

I couldn't give a monkies for the reasons behind his illness, but having been close to people who have had stress related issues you realise the term stress is not an appropriate descrition. Its not that long ago it used to be termed a nervous breakdown.

For Martin and his family, I hope he manages to over come this sooner rather than later.

You have no evidence whatsoever as to why Martin is stressed and you should be very careful with the insinuations you are making. I am sure Hull do have clauses in his contract, they alluded to this when he signed. However suffering with stress won't be one of them. The guy is ill and the club are supporting him and the fans for the moment seem to be behind that.

Suffering from stress is not a wrong doing on his part so he will rightly still be paid and be supported until he is ready to return or not whichever the case may be.

That post was dangerously close to landing you a ban, moderator or not. If you can not post on this thread within the rules then i'd suggest not to bother.

I for one wish him a very speedy recovery i`ve seen stress related illnesses first hand and i know its not a thing people want
Hope to see him back in a black and white shirt sooner rather than later

Some great sentiments here but Just for the benifit of those who still wish to think the worst, the Daily Mail today states,

'Whilst the Mail cannot disclose the full details of the illness it has nothing to do with alcohol or failing a drugs test. Gleeson is not suffering any sort of injury He has not been in a fight or breached his contract with Hull Fc'

'in an effort to protect Gleesons Privacy the club have contacted the RL to enlist their help'

'To their credit the club wil not discuss the situation with anyone'
