This was also a problem when Roy Keane was here (allegedly) and was actually why he left (allegedly), which then made MON's position very qustionable too. Easy to blame Vrentzos and sorry for mentioning that because I don't want to start all that again but I believe it was player power why Keane left and player power that got MON sacked.
Now there are some suggestions that it's happening again? (not by me).
I know you dont believe a word DT says, Sniffer but actually he endorsed what you have just said above, it pretty much was player power with MON, he was unpopular from word go particularly with some of the foreign players who thought English players were favoured, that very much led to his downfall.
I agree this sort of thing is far too common now, not sure how you resolve it. Think it is always likely to be a problem in a large squad and if there is a bomb squad because there will be unhappy people somewhere.
This is where I am undecided on DT’s version of events actually. He claimed the bomb squad treatment is brutal and it looks bad for their mates in the first team and affects confidence all round. The alternative view is you dont want players not in the team moaning in the ear of those who are about the manager all day long. I can see both sides.
