Signed for Spalding United
Apparently he's had some mental health troubles and has signed for a part time team while he focuses on other stuff. Was considered packing it in entirely I believe. He hasn't covered himself in glory in the past but fair play to him if that's the case.
Marcus Maddison. Ravel Morrison. Nile Ranger. Very talented to a greater or lesser degree. Mentally not there. Some great managers have tried and failed to connect the dots. Not happening.

Remember Paul Gascogne he fell from a height but we all laughed while he cried out for help !! . This is just a a tragedy a career gone off the rails and everyone mocks !!
Surely, these players with mental health issues that can still play a bit would be welcome at our club, where we have someone specifically employed to work with these people, ie, James Coppinger

Copps' isn't a psychologist and certainly wouldn't be able to fix mental health problems.

Wouldn’t it be a different football world if we took hateful, nasty ,destructive criticisms of players out of our banter?

Admonishing a poster for using in your eyes an ‘inappropriate’ descriptive word for ‘comments’ as opposed to banter is not a hill you would want to die on…….surely?

And I think pointing out what banter isn't is constructive in itself.
