No, but it's a soap opera season for them.

It's been all, you know, changes in managers.

There's been managers talking themselves out of jobs.

There's...

Paulie and Racine went in there, was mocked and derided pretty much from the start.

The players obviously didn't fancy him, like you said.

And if you compare that performance to the defeat of Brighton, where there was no effort, no fight, no determination, and then you fast forward, and because they've got a changing manager, they suddenly switch it on.

I think that's damning of the players.

I think that's damning of their mentality.

I think that's damning of their character.

And almost, how dare they?

You know, think they wield that power.

How dare they decide they can turn it on and off when they want because they don't want the manager?

Well, in the league, they're supposed to be going for the Champions League.

So the Brighton game wasn't just a meaningless fixture where it didn't matter if they lost.

But it seems it was more important for them to show that they didn't have any love or support for Rossini.

And then they turn up in a cup semi-final and show all the things that they didn't.

I think it's damning.

Look, I know exactly what you mean, but I think from the player's perspective, I don't know if you've ever been in this situation, Clinton, where you know that a manager is not doing a good job and it will benefit the club and you as players the sooner that they are gone.

Is there any excuse for that?
