How would we as fans have felt if Leven had said that he wanted to go to Brighton gone down there and failed his fitness test and then came back to us !! how would we have treated him and slammed him in songs at games and probably destroyed him altogether, it may worth be looking at the fact that we wouldnt have got the money anyway as he would have failed the fitness test as he did 6 months later and that is from a very good source (as in as good as the coach who told him he was not fit enough) and who as also said since that he doesnt know who does the mk franchise fitness programme but it needs a good look at it to have taken him on even on a free, so make into that what you would but maybe just maybe we wouldnt have got the money anyway and maybe Richardson does have a clue about his players, I know this doesnt say much for our fitness programme either.
you have to differentiate between match fitness and the fitness associated with the risk of his major injury reoccuring. I can quite understand that no one will ever again offer him a long contract or lay out a transfer fee. That doesn't mean to say he can't put in a good 90 minutes, which he always has.
