Liverpool FC part company with Dr Zaf Iqbal

[cloggypop]

Just seems strange we've had accurate team leaks recently but no goss why he's gone or going.

So Zaf got binned for leaking the team?

 

[ritchie]

If he was responsible for not signing Remy and for not doing enough to keep Sturridge clear of injury then it's a good decision to get rid.

 

I suppose he decided to pay £16m for Balotelli, £20m for Lovren and £10m for a keeper who can't kick a ball and is scared of his own shadow. Who's losing their jobs for that?

You mean he was the leak!?

[cloggypop]

You mean he was the leak!?

I heard it from you.

[RoboRiise]

So, is there no officially substantiated reason(s) why he's left?

 

Cant see US doctors being brought over as they'd surely earn far more in the States? Also not certain even in private medicine for non UK registered doctors to just rock up and start working.

 

Although I admit the link between income tax (my job) and this question isn't immediately obvious, I do in fact know the answer as a result of my work.

 

To practice in the UK, a doctor needs to be registered with the GMC.  In order to become registered, the doctor needs to either have completed (or be undertaking) approprate medical training, usually by working as a registrar and completing the appropriate membership or fellowship examinations for the Royal College which governs their chosen specialty, or by holding a suitable qualification awarded by an overseas body which undertakes the same role and is recognised by the GMC.

 

In short, if they're appropriately qualified already, it's basically a case of registering with the GMC and providing suitable evidence of their qualification to ensure it meets the equivalency standards.

[xerxes]

Maybe Zaf feels that he has heard " I can still feel a twinge doc" one time too many from Sturridge?

Zaf Iqbal has left because he couldn't convince family to move up from London. Hard decision for him #LFC #ZafIqbal #ITKforOnceInLife

Thanks for qualifying that.

No, I heard it from you!

How shit is the modern game that the fucking team doctor quitting becomes an issue. I wouldn't have known who the fuck the reserve team coach was in the 80's never mind the doctor.

Is there anyone woman in the world who doesn't want to live in London?

[stringvest]

or effeminate man.  

[cloggypop]

No, I heard it from you!

I am sticking with the original source.

[Section_31]

Is it true that he was refused a chance to have an open letter to the fans on the official site, poor show if true.

I'd rather have an open prescription.

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd rather have an open prescription.

Sturridge already has.

[JaminKibbler]

I just heard from a mate that it was due to mignolet getting anti-depressant without club consent when in his dip in form

[Ne Moe Imya]

[JaminKibbler]

 

 

 

Think it's a load of bollocks too, was just wondering if anyone else had heard it.

If true , "I'll have what he's having". Well, he has transformed.

[ratcatcher]

Sounds bollocks to me too. Club doctor has to ask the club's permission to give a player treatment? Dont think that's going to work out well.

I would argue that this is a different treatment, potentially any physical injuries he might not need prior consent, but with something more mental he might have to. Who knows, I wonder what role Dr Steve has at the club currently and whether he has anything to do with Migs upturn in form

Yeah, I heard something similar last night from a blueshite taxi driver, seemed to know his stuff though. 

 

Same bloke told me about Dan Agger selling smack to albino dwarves outside the sanctuary for the unfortunate and he was right about that.

 

So, yeah, on the money methinks!

[mattyq]

Why would the club Dr have to get permission off the management of the club on a medical matter? Who has the medical expertise here? Are we seriously expected to believe that BR is telling his Dr what he can and cannot prescribe to the patients under the Dr's care?

 

A simple rule of thumb to use when dealing with bullshit made up rumours is:

If it sounds like a bullshit made up rumour that a 7 year old would struggle to believe in then it probably is a bullshit made up rumour

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I heard that Aspas said he was feeling a little deflated about his start at the close and Zaf tried to reinflate Aspas by blowing down Iago's cock hole.

Never mind Mignolet they should have dished a few out to the fans
