Erm, they were being paid, if you believe the rumours,

an average of ?8000 for playing that game. And the club's survival in the Champ was (or could have been) at stake. So, yes, I'd hope a decent manager could motivate them.

Big problem with this appointment is that it will, once again, divide the fans and if we have a poor start it will be an even more f**king miserable place to be next season. Not because we're s**t, but because 60% of the crowd will dislike pretty much everything about the club!
