The players are humans. And it's like at work when you lose respect for the boss, and you think he's an idiot, and nobody really gives a crap. Obviously the players should care more, cos they're paid a fortune, and should be playing more for the fans, but you can just tell, they don't give a crap about the manager and don't want to play for him. We've seen it before with past managers.
The stats (s*** form, 21 points from 18 games, running less etc) and what we see with our eyes every game shows. Yes - there's always the chance it might get worse with someone else. But I hope the suits and FSG can see things as clearly as we can, because why would anybody think things are magically going to change, when we've been like this the entire season, and 5 lucky wins at the start doesn't mask that.
