I've been behind Grayson so far, and remain so, but he really made a mess of handling this situation. But hopefully all parties can put it behind them now and we can see O'Brien get back to the form he showed at times last season. What with the completely underwhelming activity in the transfer window (once again!!) they'll probably claim this is like a new signing!!
>From the Official Site: ANDY O'BRIEN - A CLUB STATEMENT 31 Jan 2012 A club statement on Andy O'Brien... Andy O'Brien will resume training this week with Leeds United and will be available for selection. The club brought disciplinary action against the player following his refusal to play against Burnley on the 19th November 2011. It was announced at that time that the player's future would be determined after a full investigation. The investigation has led to a fuller understanding of the issues that the player has faced since the start of the season, which has seen him seek specialist medical treatment at the Sporting Chance Clinic for depression. It is felt he is now ready to recommence training and the club will facilitate any further treatment that is required. The club said: "We were exceptionally disappointed when Andy refused to play before the Burnley game and felt let down. It is now apparent that there were a number of issues that he was dealing with at that time which affected him in a way we could not imagine and he was not in a right state of mind to make such decisions. On this basis we believe he deserves a second chance and we will do everything we can to assist him." The club would appeal to its fans to support the player on his road back to first team action. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
