He’s just back after the longest of lay-offs. To say he’s going to be rusty is an understatement. The lad is going to make some bad judgment calls until he is back to full sharpness.

It's time for this lad to end his football career, he's not getting it back and I don't think he really wants it back either, more pandering to others around him who want to 'save' him which isn't doing anyone any good least of all him.

He needs to be sent on his way with all the support he needs to battle his demons and eventually make himself employable at something he's more mentally suited to.

Thing is he'd probably one day make the perfect counsellor for other young sportsmen suffering mental health problems, but he needs to get away from football completely for a long time first.

Alternatively he could have a good remainder of career in the states / Saudi / Scotland earning a living in a role suited to his altered capabilities

He’s spent about two years doing rehab to get to a stage he can play again “doesn’t really want it”

Ok mate

CHEER UP, PLUMS

I just don't think he's doing it for himself. I think he's got loads of people around him telling him he should ressurect his career, he can still be a player, etc, etc and in order to not let them down he is taking their advice and assistance.

I'm an ideal world he could take a good solid five years away and just concentrate on getting himself in the right frame of mind to live his life before even thinking of making a comeback as a footballer, but of course in football that's just not a realistic option so he has to soldier on keep trying to get back till he either does it, or it breaks him..... unfortunately I think it will be the latter and Everton will be just as culpable in that as anyone else that has been involved.

He's only been sent off, it happens. Stupid challenge from behind and the refs yellow made red by VAR. The fact that he turned out on the pitch is more important and a step forward for him probably.

The problem here is that you’ve just invented all of that and decided it’s true.

Everton culpable for football breaking him? Ok mate...
All Ive ever seen is Everton doing everything they can to help and support him, even after his contract ended with us

Just can’t see the working out behind Sparts reasoning here. He was even massively complimentary about Everton and how he’d been out under no pressure and even after his contract ran out he was using the clubs facilities to get right again.

Just can’t see how the conclusion above has been reached. He could have walked away in May. He clearly thinks he’s got something to offer and it’s admirable.

Spart is one of those weirdos who was/is still obsessed with Kenwright and, by his own admission, rings the club just to cry arse. Harassing people in work, the universal sign of a cunt.

We have been brilliant yes, but are we supporting him to come back as a footballer or are we supporting him to just get his life sorted even if it means he eventually walks away and just does something else with the rest of his life?

If football has put him in the place he is then it makes sense that maybe it shouldn't be Football that is helping him to sort it out, if that's with the end goal of getting him back into football.

Perhaps EFC shouldn't have been helping him to recover but putting the same resource into letting EitC help him to recover instead?

They both go hand in hand- Im sure Everton have supported him as best as they can, going above and beyond probably, whatever his future holds

You have neither the data or the judgement to assert any of this, you absolute crank.
