Blame the manager, tactics or whatever. Are these gowls going to listen to ETH if they know they can outlast him?
When you see this lot plodding and jogging around the place during games without a care in the world it's quite clear they are not one bit bothered by RR's or any say he might have at the club now or even beyond his managerial reign. They've got their big contracts and are happy out and he's out the gap in a couple of months.
A lot of them need to be dumped right away. The rest need to know if they don't perform next season, that's it. They are done.
Absolutely not, you dont back off a manager with all the right principals, just because the squads full of good for feck all losers, get the right manager in, then get rid of as much of the shite, as fast as humanly possible.
