11 have played for him (or like Carver and Dawber were in the Youth set-up whilst he was here)
14 haven't played for him, but thats not to say they don't know him (Coley chased Hughes for years and will probably know Dixon from Scouse circles)
Not that it matters as you couldn't imagine that they wouldn't play for him, its their job.
The thing you get by changing managers is a new impetus, players trying to impress the new guy coming in. You get a fresh wind blowing through. It doesn't work for everybody who tries to change the manager to avoid relegation, but of those clubs who do suddenly find a vein of form it's usually due to a new guy coming in.
I agree that he shouldn't be hung out to dry after playing top of the league with ten men, but there are some hefty looking, loseable games coming up and it isn't going to get any easier for Leam.
At this moment in time we can't even see a goal coming let alone a win, what can you change if not the manager? He needs to get all his senior players fit and on the pitch because the last ten games of this season will not only make or break him as a manager but possibly us as a club.
