If that’s true, those players need to grow up and understand Wayne is gone.
To be clear; this is not a Seibold, Bennett or any other coach thing either. This is solely directed at the players.
If they are so delicate they can’t keep doing what they’re paid to do because their mate / mentor got the flick in unceremonious circumstances, well, they know where the door is.
As far as I’m concerned; the minute the new coach was signed, whoever it was, they should have supported him or left.
If you’re right and they didn’t (or feel somehow aggrieved for Bennett and subconsciously don’t put in for Seibold), well I feel sorry for Seibold, because he was clearly never going to succeed.
