He said: “The performance was for the manager definitely. “Everyone knew before the game we had to produce a performance. “It’s not nice seeing the pressure he’s under and the stick he’s getting. “Of course we’re behind him. He brought me here and has been brilliant for me. “Fans say is it that the players don’t want to play for the manager? “That’s rubbish, just rubbish. “You couldn’t wish to have a better manager to play for. The fans might question some of the things he does but as manager for players he is different class http://www.thisisstfc.co.uk/News_Headlines_Story.asp?NewsID=3993Completely blows any of the "players don't want to play for him" bollocks out of the water. Even Smith was saying the same on Saturday. I hope anyone who didn't think the players were behind him has realised how wrong they were.

In all fairness it's results which matter not what Matt Heywood thinks

Ben, I don't think the players are going to come out and say the complete opposite.

You are preventing speech as though it is fact. The players will not want to portray a negative image of the dressing room, and may well have been instructed not to say anything against the manager. We also know how pro-King that website is. To assume that those statements blow any notions of unrest in the dressing room out of the water is just plain naive.

I've heard different from other players out on the lash.
The problem is that the dressing room is split, some are indeed right behind the manager like Heywood and his other favs and there's a bunch that isn't.

So they players are motivated to keep King in a job (who gives them a bit of an easy life, Matt Heywood - would you get away with that much boozing under a more professional manager?).
But are they motivated to get Swindon Town into big cup games and boost the clubs coffers? No they fucking are not.
KING OUT.

If they didn't believe in the manager they would either keep quiet completely or come out and say it. The players have said exactly the same stuff on the radio, any adver conspiracy theories are getting a bit far-fetched.

Jesus, if I was Heywood, I wouldn't be out in the papers calling King a clueless cunt, expescially as I'll probably get the chop on Saturday.

Plus Heywood is one of Kings favourties. Imagine what Andy Nicholas would say.
