Oh it all sounds plausible as it buys into the average fans perception of the pampered, overpaid, mercenary footballer. Doesn't want to train, won't make the effort, lets get rid and get players of passion who will fight for the cause blah, blah. Its simplistic but effective.
Leaving aside the motivational effects of this piece going into two important games it sort of wraps up all the titbits we have been fed but with the new one inferring that Robinho did not play yesterday because he decided he wasn't 'fit'. Jo and Elano are history so having a pop at these two is pretty much a given.
Funnily enough all this reminds me of Glen Hoddle who had an astonishing ability to alienate players on a massive scale and was quite happy to show them up via the media. Needless to say I don't think Glen has worked in management for what 5 years? Its a shame in some ways because tactically he was quite astute but man management was an alien concept.
Anyway its the Blackburn way or the highway as far as Hughes and his 'highly qualified staff' are concerned so lets buckle up, dig in and make sure we are a strong top 8 side within 3 years.
Should be er fun? :)
