On the question of the players caring, I think some care more than others. Which of course is true, some players are passionate and are giving that every little bit they can, whilst others whilst still caring aren't perhaps giving that little extra.
People have said they are professional athletes of course they care. But we are all professionals with our jobs, and do you really think that everyone you work with cares as much about the company as you do? Or vice versa? Of course not, some care more, some care less. Some don't give a flying rats... Some are in it for the company the whole way, some are in it for themselves full stop.
I think the reality is there is a disconnect, and that's making everything terribly disjointed.
