The tragic death of Maddy Cusack, a talented footballer from Sheffield United, has brought to light disturbing allegations surrounding her treatment within the club. Cusack's family has made grave accusations against her manager, Jonathan Morgan, claiming that his actions significantly impacted her mental health and contributed to her untimely demise.

The family's complaint to the club highlighted distressing instances of alleged mistreatment and verbal abuse directed at Cusack by Morgan. The complaint detailed incidents where Cusack was reportedly labeled a “psycho” and criticized for her weight, among other derogatory remarks. These incidents purportedly led to a strained relationship between Cusack and Morgan, adversely affecting her position within the team.

The club's response to these accusations has been met with skepticism by the family, as an external inquiry concluded there was no evidence of wrongdoing. However, this outcome has been contested by the family, who have sought intervention from the Football Association (FA) to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
