The responsibility will always go with the manager - you put out the team.
You do hear a lot about 'player power,' but I'm one of those who believes the manager is there to take control, to be in charge.
As players, whenever the manager gets the sack, you have to look in the mirror and say it's not always the manager. It's down to the players.
Unfortunately, sometimes the fans forget who puts the money and passion into the club. It's funny, but when you win, it's the coach and the players who are responsible, but when you lose, it's the owner's fault; but that's football.
Companies don't have one culture. They have as many as they have supervisors or managers. You want to build a strong culture? Hold every manager accountable for the culture that he or she builds.
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
If a manager can't control his costs, fire them.
I think public criticism of players can go one of two ways: either the players will want to raise a proverbial middle finger at their manager and prove them wrong, or the squad will go within themselves and performances will deteriorate.
