James McClean, despite recent challenges including a car crash, remains committed to playing for his club. After receiving intense abuse from fans during a match against Shrewsbury Town, he responded critically on social media. However, his manager expressed deep concern over the abuse McClean endures, emphasizing its unprecedented nature. He called for better measures to protect players like McClean, highlighting the balance required to enable athletes to focus on performance while dealing with outside pressures. The club aims to provide stronger support amid ongoing challenges.
The level of abuse he gets is something I have never witnessed for a player. It goes too far and I am not sure enough is done about it.
People are quite quick to jump on players for stepping out of line but what are the EFL doing about the abuse that Jimmy gets on a weekly basis?
He is a tough character and he is focused on what he has to do on the pitch. We are working with him on blocking everything out.
I want him to block everything out and I know our supporters will be right behind Jimmy McClean because he deserves that.
