If a workforce feels demotivated and they lose respect for their bosses, or they see their boss puting the blame on them as opposed to taking responsibility for a situation equally, then i reckon that they're not going to put a full shift in, or they're going to feel devalued, which leads to poor performance. And i think that's what we're witnessing up to a point. I also believe in having some pride and taking personal as well as collective responsibility when things go to shit, and i don't see much character in this squad of players. We can all blame people, circumstances, things not sitting right with us, but ultimately, when you go out and play there are certain aspects of the game which are on the player, and when things are going south it's then that we look for character, i don't see any.
Flipping eck, everything in your reply resonates with certain aspects of my former job.

I tend to agree with what you allude to; where many people in modern society do not accept personal responsibility for when things start to get tough.
