There is no mutiny.  The players have stopped OVERperforming.

DT has his own agenda but it’s much more balanced than national press. I also think players don’t like it when the manager gets all the credit. Stuart Pearce for example - the crowd loved him but that love drive a wedge between him and the players. They are fickle fuckers players and have massive ego. I bet they hate the cooper chants being bigger than their own when things are going well and really pisses them off when it isn’t going well.

If the players have stopped overperforming then that implies up until this point Cooper has been getting them to overperform so that seems like.a defence of Cooper and a criticism of the transfer business.

100% agree! Most of us have to work to pay bills and mortgages. If i "downed tools" at work,I would be sacked. How would i pay a mortgage? Put food on the table? Spineless!!!!! If you don't like it, find a new club. Do people not realise how good we've had it since SC walked into the club? He has faults and needs to address these but does not deserve this reaction from the squad. COYR!
