You have a life, a job, you play Football, things have been going well here for two years. You are relatively comfortable with your mortgage and family etc..
Not everyone reacts the same way. This whole uncertainty and County fans are now writing off players we were hailing as heroes 6 months ago. They are thinking where am I going to go next season that won’t have a big effect on all the things in my life. If they are going to stay at County then they are thinking do I give up my job to go full time?
It’s unsettling and affects morale in the dressing room and probably then leaks into performances.
