Agree. Complete nonsense that there would be any way that could arise in a claim.
I spoke to an employment law specialist about it earlier (I know one, I didn’t go phoning up a solicitor for legal advice!) when I saw the court case, they reckoned there would be a fairly strong case for negligence if that was indeed what the case is over.

Players have a reasonable expectation that training is conducted by suitably skilled staff with due regard for their safety. If Johnson oversees a session and JDH gets injured by Newell, for example, there’s no claim.

Get Newell as an unqualified coach to run a session, and a player gets injured, they could have a case (as an example).

Put an out of shape coach into the session to play against elite footballers and that coach is, obviously, late into a tackle or misjudges the tackle because he’s clearly not at a level to participate, there’s potential for a claim.
