Academy under Scrutiny

[localny]

“But a complaint by Boy A’s mother about his treatment at the club, lodged before the Premier League’s email was sent, and Liverpool’s subsequent internal investigation, summarised in a 15-page report that has been seen by The Athletic, raises concerns that may have wider implications for the academy.

These include:

• Allegations from Boy A’s mother that her son did not receive adequate mental health support as his time at Liverpool was ending
• Concerns from the mother relating to a “personal relationship” between academy manager Alex Inglethorpe and academy psychologist Yvie Ryan
• Failings in Liverpool’s record-keeping following important player development meetings between staff, including those involving parents, with the club admitting in its report that processes were “inadequate”

In its conclusions, Liverpool denied that Inglethorpe had any specific involvement in the decision to retain or release Boy A, over and above his involvement in the same decision for other players, and that “any personal relationship (between Inglethorpe and Ryan) is not considered relevant in this case”.”

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwn, so basically this academy player is a useless little shit and our academy director may or may not have conspired with his loverbird, who happens to be an employee of his, to send the kid packing and went home crying to mummy about it? I fail to see the issue here.

Tell Boy A’s mother to fucking suck on these nuts.
