If I was an employee of a manager who constantly spoke of being brave and showing commitment and togetherness, and then started talking about possibly leaving for pastures new in pressers, I'd start to wonder if he was full of shit. Once that seed is sown it can be really corrosive as then confirmation biases take hold and other things the manager says are questioned.
I'm speaking a little from experience (not in the football world) of managers saying one thing and doing another. Previously highly thought of managers are now not as highly thought of and less intently listened to. Slowly but surely team morale sinks and no doubt productivity is reduced and in football this only ever seems to end one way.
Goddamn I hope he turns this around. I couldn't bear to see him at Utd or Chelsea, or any PL club.
