Ok ok. I might have misinterpreted the following as an opinion rather than a fact:
“I may have said it earlier, but at the supporters club event Greer seemed very certain he wouldn’t return”
As an employee of the club and responsible for monitoring/managing players out on loan, it seems inappropriate for Greer to inform a group of supporters information about a particular player who is out on loan. Surely you will agree that it’s up to the club how such information is...
I think you are taking it too literally. It’s more about the type of player we want - attitude, behaviour, hunger, etc, etc, rather than if they have an offensive tattoo from 10 years ago.
