I don't think it's down to the players not playing for the manager anymore. I think there is obviously a divide between the players, the mentality is basically one of "we don't give a fuck about each other" and when you have Walcott as captain it speaks volumes.

It is a desperately sad situation and the lack of action from the board is alarmingly bad. The divide is across all levels from fans to squad to board level and the uncertainty around the managers future is killing it off.
