look i honestly don't know where you guys are hearing about players being unfit BUT in most legit football sites or even dodgy tabloids i have never heard of that - in fact it doesn't make sense of the players are unfit because most of them just attended a world cup so they were still training daily and if they wanted to retain their country spots they stayed fit ..... so the players could be demotivated but not unfit and claiming that they are unfit would get you laughed out of dodge city because most of our first team are all international players who play for their countries
the thing about Carrick is that the only manager he could use as an example is Sir Alex so he would still play in the manner Sir Alex had done to the end of his own management career - and that method still involved wingers at the sides and a central striker as a focal point of the attack even if it was only one - so keeping only one because other teams only keep one is an ar5e over face way of doing things
i also agree that management changes are causing a lot of the trouble because for a specific manager the football directors will buy players to fit a system and just as progress is made to build a manager a team he can work with he is sacked and now the team is nto to the specs for another new manager so the rebuild process starts again plus our idiot negotiating team still go and buy players that they planned to buy for the previous manager or who suit that already fired managers style so we keep going around in a cycle like a dog chasing its own tail - so yes some stability is required and then we don't need ar5ehole dictators like Wilcox going around telling the players to ignore the manager because he is buying the players so he is the manager (Hint : he isnt because he is only an arrogant brain dead cant) ..... look at the tw@ttys face after the Brighton defeat
another hint : his face will continue looking like a horses ar5e because we are going to continue suffering many losses like those if he is allowed to continue on his course because he is a cake and will still only just fark things up further
