there was one thing in ian murray's interview that didn't ring true for me - and that was that the players were trying, and that they cared.
my assessment - they are suffering from severe apathy. this isn't to say that they consciously don't give a hoot - they just aren't motivated. they've been sliding down a slippery slope for a very long time, and it's got to the point of something similar to addiction - there's just no real will power to sort it out.
IMO what made murray seem depressed in the interview wasn't "what are we doing to this club", but "what is wrong with me?". the players seem to have retreated into themselves to some extent, just wallowing and feeling slightly sorry for themselves, while putting on a brave face for interviews - partly because it hurts too much to say they don't care.
i'd say they don't care, but it disturbs them that they don't care (murray and deeks especially), because deep down they actually do. if that makes any sense.
possibly a complete haver of a post, but hey ho.
