well of course they will back king, but they wouldn't come out and say anything unless it was true. KING IN.

I think Barry Potter probably summed the situation up quite well. Heywood wouldn't have come out and said that if he didn't mean it, still it doesn't mean they all think like that.

At this level players are more likely to do a David than a Craig Bellamy.
Short term contracts and all it's unlikely that any player would ever come out and question the manager.
There have been a couple of public spats most recently with Mooney but publicly at least that was appeared to be put to bed amicably enough.

Too many people have claimed the players don't want to play for King when they have no evidence. It's not just Heywood - Smith, Parkin, Roberts, Igoe, Howard, Holmes and Slabber have all supported the manager recently, probably others too.

Their evidence is on the pitch in games where the lads have been totally embaressed.
Myself I think its down to their lack of fitness, Kings tactical ineptness and King failing totally to get the team motivated.
Only one answer. Resign tommorow.

Lads if a journo asks you (as a player) a leading question about the manager, ie what's the general feeling about Andy King, the players have no choice but to say "all the lads are behind the gaffer etc" you'd be a cock to say anything else, you be dropped quicker than a cross by Jens Lehmann.

Maybe then you will get the point.

Take Grant Smith wasn't even asked about it in his interview on the radio but still wanted to defend the manager and he's supposedly not one of King's favourites. :roll: Dave are you smacked up again.

But if he's seen to defend the manger, Smith that is, he's probably more likely to stay in the team. Ass kissing your manager is nothing new, it does you good to get on your managers good side in all walks of life.

If a player likes the manager then he may well come out and say so.
He would never do an interview about the manager if he didn't like him, let alone lie about the whole thing. If he had any sense (so that rules out Igoe) then he would just keep quiet.
