What's the reason he's not here much?
Moreover, were such problems were around in previous seasons?
If not, then what has happened to cause it?
It's his team, and his players.
If he's lost their respect, the coaches aren't up to it, or they're bad eggs, them ultimately it still comes down to his decision to bring them in.
Where is the analysis etc before players come in?
I've no doubt some of them are going through the motions, and maybe he will get shut of some in January, nevertheless he has responsibility over the playing side of things and needs to shape up himself as well.
A new manager has a clean slate with players, and if he decides bad eggs need to be got rid of, then so be it.
Equally, a new voice may help sort out the situation.
