Looking at it from another angle, why do the players need to be motivated by the manager.
If at their inflated wages they can't motivate themselves to give 100% during their 90 minute working day, they should do the decent thing and do a Tilney.
Or maybe Robbie can make them do a night shift as porters in A&E to see what real work is like.
This. Perhaps it's all gone to their heads, earning a decent wage on a 2-3 year contract, knowing they are nicely set up regardless of the outcome of matches.
Our younger players show desire and want to succeed and are hungry for it, I'm always impressed by how dedicated they are by their posts on social media - they seem to really want to be here. It's our established, more experienced pros that don't seem to care on or off the pitch.
