Apathy has set in.

Malky, Warnock didn't need a threat from the owner to gee up the club, but they also ensured the right types were in that dressing room.
Data-driven recruitment misses the key ingredient, character. Plus, everyone has data-driven recruitment nowadays, we are so far behind, we may as well rip it out and go old school.

When i was a kid i used to look up to footballers as men, adults. But as a 57 year old they are kids/young men and they smelled weakness in their manager and took the mick. Its what happens in real life, why shouldn't it happen at a football club. In past years, though Bellers, Cowie, Taylor, Conway, Kev, McPhail, Peltier, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Gunnar, Ralls, Hudson, Turner run the dressing room.
We had Ralls and the ever so nice Ramsey and Chambers

And its still missing, we are going to have a bunch of kids. It looks like it gets coached out of them at the academy.

We sleptwalked into relegation in super slow motion and we all knew this was the year. I still haven't renewed, i will, but the enthusiasm has gone. I met up with my mates this week and we all complained that we only had three sessions pre and after the game last season, we lost that much interest.
