The club have disrespected him asking him to work under a fraud, ignoring his and other players frustrations and backing a proven failure.
I’d be very angry if I was being asked to play under tactics that were blatantly wrong and being talked down too and thrown under a bus by the manager in public.
There must be a huge amount of sympathy for the players just now, yes they might not always react correctly but they’ve been put in a horrible position by the board.
There’s a reason several players have commented on the poor decisions of the manager, it’s not because guys that were good pros last year have suddenly decided to change their ways, it because the guy in charge of them is a absolutely terrible at his job.
