“We want players that want to play for us. Players that want to win. Players who get disappointed like I do when we lose.
“It’s heart-breaking for me when we lose. I don’t want to go out, I just want to stay at home. And I am someone who has dealt with success and dealt with disappointment. But there is nothing I have gone through that is as disappointing as losing a football game.
“I haven’t said it throughout the season because it wasn’t right to be said, but it hurt me when I saw some of the players who didn’t feel the way I felt. And in fact, in their case, it should be worse because this is their job, it’s their life. It wasn’t a good feeling. It was probably the low point for me when I saw the reaction of some of the players.
“It has shocked me because it is something that is alien to me. Whatever I have done as a job, for whoever has hired me, I put in 150 per-cent. It’s in my character. If I am taking someone else’s money, then I am going to work ****** hard for that person.
“It’s an alien concept to me that someone takes someone’s salary, doesn’t put 100 per-cent in, thinks: ‘Oh, we lost. No big deal. What club are we going to tonight?’ That is an alien concept to me.
“It wasn’t right to say anything during the season, but I noticed everything and I am a little bit wiser for it now.”
He is right to say that he couldn't say what he really thought during the season, but now that relegation is confirmed he an really let everyone know what he thinks of them.
Some of the players have been a disgrace. If I was Redknapp I'd drop those who have not really given their all for the team. I'd rather see the youths in the team against Arsenal Newcastle and Liverpool rather than the likes of Bosingwa.
Jenas looked gutted after the Reading game and he has shown that he cares.
