    Big corporations with money are very good at discrediting whistleblowers so I always like to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    But this would not expose allegations of misleading fans and the FA or giving contracts to friends. It would only focus on things like unfair dismissals, discrcimination etc. Although going via the press who protect their sources might have been a safer route. I hope they used a VPN.

    I can confirm this. I live in the UK and have experienced very little c*** sucking in my life.

    Football clubs tend to settle these out of court and get people to sign non-disclosure agreements so we might never hear anything.

    When I saw this thread had been bumped, I feared the worst and thought Heck had done his ACL too but this is much more interesting. I bet Purslow never called people c*** suckers.

    As somebody who knows that even making claims that are true through correct channels can lead to people with lots of money attempting to ruin your life with years of expensive defamation action, I would have advised that these complaints were addressed through correct channels such as employment tribunals, the health and safety executive and the FA and not posted on the internet. I really hope they can't be identified but I respect their bravery.

    When I worked at Villa, Gary Shaw rang my house to ask me something and my dad answered and said "who's speaking please?". When he said who it was, all my dad could manage to say was "you're my hero!"

    This is the last medical-related post I'm going to make and please kill me if I go back on it. But if, as Ornstein is saying, it is an ACL injury and if, as Ornstein is saying, he having it reconstructed (which is the only surgery you would have for an ACL injury) you are looking more at 6-9 months than 4-5 months regardless of the individual specifics of the injury or the player involved. I remember that years ago Robert Baggio insanely returned at 3 months but we seem to have moved away from that temporary insanity. I am stopping now. It's not you, it's me.

    I'm honestly not being sarcastic here but I think it's my own fault for trying to discuss medical topics on a football forum. I just need to be a fan like everyone else and only post about football stuff. I don't know why I feel compelled to post medical stuff on here or feel like I need to correct people if they are barking up the wrong tree. So instead, I'm just going to say I'm absolutely gutted about this and can't believe our bad luck and hope the rumours about Konsa aren't true.

    No, I, as a physio with degrees in physiotherapy and sports medicine who used to be a physio at villa and has rehabbed over 50 people following ACL injury and have published papers on ACL injury in the British journal of sports medicine am giving myself a little bit of credence. I am not giving any credence to the twitter physio who I have already said is all over the place with his return to play times but have given him credit for spotting injuries from video stills. I have said you are looking at 6-9 months for ACL injury.
  11. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    I would consider that a bit on the reckless side and don't see why the club would rush him back quicker than Buendia who has the same injury.
  12. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    That physio-scout guy on twitter is good at spotting injuries from freeze-frames but his times out are a bit off. Last week he said you'd be back from a complete MCL rupture in 2 months which is way too soon today he said 9-12 months for ACL which is a bit on the pessimistic side. Many have been back playing at 9 months, with some closer to 6 (although I think that's a bit on the un-cautious side).
  13. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    You are looking at 6-9 months (more like 9 months) for an ACL injury. If he has injured other structures like Mings, it will be longer.
  14. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    This is the most common mechanism of ACL injury - it's the same that happened to Mings and millions of others.
  15. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    Yes, I've noticed this. Although this wouldn't make an ACL injury worse, if I'd just hurt my knee, I'd at least appreciate some crutches if not a stretcher or lift-up. I remember when Coutinho had to walk the entire permieter of the pitch after pulling his hamstring.
  16. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    When you rupture your ACL your knee joint fills with blood and swelling and it can take weeks or months for it to go down. Most people have swollen knees when they go for an MRI. This makes no sense to me.
  17. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    I am always open to the idea that there are lots of things I think I know but don't but I've never heard of an MRI scan needing to be delayed to detect an ACL injury and a quick literature search and trawl through my collection of ACL injury articles has turned up nothing on this. Just as a Villa fan and not thinking as a physio, the fact that Mings and Buendia had their injuries diagnosed by MRI within 1-2 days after the injury suggests this isn't right.
  18. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    A bit of googling tells me the new doc running on the pitch is Arnaldo Abrantes and he is now the Head of Medical Services at Villa although he might be Portugese not Spanish so my source might have been doing a bit of racial generalisation.
  19. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    I'm certain it isn't and haven't seen him for ages. I was told Unai's MO is to bring his own staff to work alongside the existing staff for a few weeks then get rid of the originals.
  20. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    What I can tell you from my own observation is that the doctor and physio running on the pitch are not the same doctor and physio as a few months ago. And I was told by a backroom staff member they had all been replaced with Spanish staff, even the dietician.
  21. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    To be fair, it would be the radiologist's job to spot this, not the physio. Although about 25 years ago, I remember the Chelsea doctor saying that football club's scanning everything was taking the skill away from medical staff diagnosis injuries like ACLs and I don't think he was wrong.
  22. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    Unai got rid of the entire medical staff a few months ago and replaced them all with Spanish staff, or at least I've been told they are all Spanish. I have no idea if any of them were / are any good or not.
  23. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    Surely Konsa would have already had a scan at the time of initial injury which would have shown an ACL injury then? I'm not saying it's completely impossible to do your ACL sliding into a post but it would take our bad luck to ridiculous new levels. I find this hard to believe on a number of levels.
  24. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    I would be amazed if it was a muscle injury from that injury mechanism.
  25. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    I've just had a chance to look at the sky sports footage and would now rule out MCL as he was rubbing everywhere on his knee apart from where the MCL is (the inner aspect of the knee). This would also suggest something deep inside the knee which you can't actually get to, i.e. the ACL. Although the position he went into is the classic mechanism of ACL injury, I do remember Conor Hourihane's knee going into the exact same postion a few years ago and me being 100% convinced he must have done his ACL from the TV footage and then he played the next game, so I'm hoping I'm wrong again.
