I can't see how somebody can carry on after having publicly admitted that they've lost hope.

Power will be begging him to stay to deflect some of the attention away from him.

I know the players have to do it on the pitch but I think you have to give them a little bit of slack. To have to completely change the way you have been trained to play under Wellens to some kind of direct hot potato stuff that they are clearly unable to is a huge challenge.

Its like being employed to dig holes and then your manager changes and the new manager takes away your shovel and gives you a toothbrush.
Don't disagree with any of that but I would still contend they do have to take their share of the blame. To be a bit clearer I think they are at least at fault of the 3, but not devoid of blame by a long way.

This is John Sheridan however...but I totally agree.

I can imagine a scenario though where he states something like 'I've spoken to the people who matter and they have asked me to stay. So I'm going to stay.'

If something like that were to arise, it puts that all on JS because essentially he's inferred he may walk and serious about it. If others ask him to stay, he's not honouring his true feelings if he were completely honest. Of course feelings/minds/decisions change - this doesn't seem like it will change though and he will walk.

It will be the minimum of respect noted if he does indeed decide to go.

Better or worse than Paul Hart insisting his 4-5-1 with Calvin Andrew, JP McGovern and Matt Ritchie was a 4-3-3?

It said 'personal reasons' at the time. Could mean anything:

Yeah I hear ya. For example for 2 centre backs to not have a clue who should be marking their best player and best headerer of a ball is ludicrous. The last 2 games we've given a number of free headers to their tallest players. The Oxford CB who got the free header had nobody within about 5 yards of him and Akinde and Oliver also had the freedom of the CG penalty box. I guess confidence is so low that nobody is taking any responsibility and they end up blaming each other.
