And this mentality has permeated through to the players, they've realised that they're playing for a club that doesn't really care if it gets relegated, so why should they care ? It might only be a subconcious thing, they've not deliberately become non triers, but instead of giving 100% for the club it's dropped away to 95%, does it really matter that much to them any more, why should it if it doesn't matter to the board ? And I would think this mentality must inevitably have permeated through to the management team as well.

A fish rots from the head, and that's the problem at Turf Moor imo.
Interesting view that Sinkov.SD certainly does not look too concerned in his post match interview.Then again, he has recently signed a new lucrative long term contract.......
