This is an interesting article by Phil Carmen about coach's v players attitude.

its does make reference to us at the moment but in a fair way which is a nice change.
I think the message in the article is very clear, irrespective of the coach its really up to the players to d what is right by themselves and the club. Though he does say the philosophy of the coach can influence the style a side plays, which is true.
Worth a read.
