Again agree with nearly everything, it's just your refusal to acknowledge that organisations are inherently complex and interconnected that bugs me. It's never simply down to the players, or coaching staff or hierarchy.
I am fully aware of how complex businesses can be and how the hierarchies and cross functional areas interconnect; I just do not see how any perceived disfunction behind the scenes is impacting on the first team.
I do not see any of the tell tale signs that players are not playing for the team or the manager; there is plenty of effort and desire, no one is throwing the towel in, the fact that we keep going behind and fighting back is testimony to that.
And its not like we have a huge bomb squad around distracting the players; we have just two players at the moment, Clough and Hefele, and Hefele is conducting himself like the model professional by all accounts.
Hughton has Dawson on hand as his eyes and ears around the players, so I think we can dispel a player mutiny as being a contributory factor.
There are issues to overcome, but they are the same issues all Clubs face.
We have a good few new faces and no facilities for any kind of team bonding, and some players are living apart from their families.
They might be aspects which you do not bother about when doing well, but they must be vital when you are in our position, because it certainly does you no good when you are taking reversals and poor performances home with you.
Things have obviously gone off which Danny Taylor does not like; if those things are what I think they are, then fair play to Danny for speaking up - Danny is a fantastic journalist who is privileged to have a platform for airing his views.
He uses that platform sparingly and to great effect; personally, I think we are very lucky to have someone of his gravitas speaking out on our behalf.
Do I think that Danny's Tweets have had an adverse effect on team moral or have been counterproductive in any way?
No
The top and bottom of it is that the players will not give a fuck about the directors falling out, just like shop floor workers do not give a fuck about management fall outs at their place of work.
The way I see it, all of the problems are on the pitch, and that is exactly where they will be put right.
