Players are looking for an exit that's why the behaviour is what it is with them. This is why we need Alonso in now so the players maybe start looking forward to training and can understand the direction there being given and start enjoying playing football again! Alonso ain't going to change the course of our season but he still has time to get the players on board and excited for a new season.
This is why we need him now.

For me, Jimjam, they are checked out cos the manager has clearly done the same. Hence, they are prolly keeping themselves injury free for the WC approaching.

So you don't think they'd jump at a move to get away from Slot oily?

Alonso doesn't want the job until the summer. This has been explained multiple times.

Jimjim, I think there's a very good chance of a number of them jumping ship if we don't get Champions League.

That's for sure, Chewy! And, Amiej, you jump at the job you want if it becomes available n even if it was in his contract that he couldn't take a job that becomes invalid if you're sacked! That means your contract is over, but you would have to miss out on bonus money, but that can be made up.

Players should still have personal pride though. If not to do it for the fans, do it for themselves; for next season, they should not want to be playing on a Thursday.

It's easier said than done, Florian, especially when you're playing for somebody who's completely incapable.
