Surely a journalist would ask the question ‘why’?
As you've now read, he's here long term.HC Green":1vqbb04f said:It is also a slap in the face for the other physios at the Club as it would seem that instead of using one of the existing staff they have brought in someone that appears to be just a temporary stop gap as it does seem that Atkinson’s departure was sudden and unplanned.
HC Green":1d8xmtcj said:The other thing that I find a bit disappointing from the article is that Lowe said the decision was his but he hasn’t had time to thank Paul. That does sound that he didn’t personally tell Paul I don’t want you, if so that is pretty poor.

I don't get why all the sob stories for Kevin H and Paul.
The academy has not produced for ages and although I was not DAs biggest fan he had nothing to work with from the academy. A few of us were talking last summer about how bad it's been.
With regards to Paul I have met him and think he is a top bloke but recently our history with injuries has been poor so perhaps the management were asking questions.
Both leaving is for the good of the club. Thank you for your time and effort it's appreciated.

We now have a physio who has worked in the England set up and was physio for a Champions League winning team. That's like saying signing Steven Gerrard would have been a slap in the face for Luke Summerfield

Physios all have the same qualifications.
i have been made redundant and it is unpleasant but it happens and modest wages is a subjective term.gaspargomez":10pnf2ac said:Firstly Kevin Hodges (club legend) gets kicked out. Now it’s the Physio who’s shown the door.
What’s going on here ? I know Lowe wants to replace everyone with Scousers but don’t the club owe these people some loyalty ?
Think about what it would be like if YOU suddenly got kicked out of your job. These are real people who are probably on modest wages.
