This media noise has been building a while now and the way the team has performed....indicates there is a lack of harmony and the results speak even louder.
It's unfair to play guessing games, but at the same time, anyone who feels there's no problems behind the scenes has their head in the sand.
The latest stuff about players not appreciating Seibolds "7 minute chat", shows they either don't like his opinion or they simply don't respect him, for whatever reason.
Personally I reckon Seibold or any coach should have a right to chat openly about where improvement is needed, both as an individual player, or as a team....his job is to do exactly this to get results, as he is the man in question when the scoreboard continues to favour the opposition.
Just maybe, there's other issues regarding coaching techniques, game plans, or generally being a little soft or too accepting of poor results, making players comfortable with losing games.
Personally I have had coaches ask for more of myself and team mates as a player and unless belittling a player in front of the team, I find it ridiculaous players would be upset over their boss asking for improvement or to become better in whatever aspect of the game he/she see's an issue, especially when done in private in a 1 on 1 situation which I believe was the case....I mean cop it on the chin and get better, take the challenge to better yourself and don't go whining and recruiting others about it.....wher there's smoke there's fire and it's a cancerous issue once it snowballs and it's a big question on the players integrity to get on with the job, as these issues are too easily an excuse for sub par performances like we have seen most of the season.
If they are not respecting, agreeing, or believing in Seibolds coaching ability, that's another issue, but each player owes it to the club, fans and most importantly themselves to dig the way out of this dire situation and at very least, show some guts and effort regardless of the result....that would be a good start.
