Our problem lay in the dressing room, said Margreitter, who has played just one League game as a substitute since his £500,000 arrival from Austria Vienna last summer.
Too many players were satisfied. They earn a great deal of money and drive big cars, and they are content with their lot. The hunger that young players bring to a team was simply not there.
An attitude like that from a clubs leading players is fatal. You could see this in training quality on paper is not enough.
When the players were in the Premier League they got a spanking week after week. Some of them probably didnt want to go back up, preferring a cushy life in the Championship.
I have never experienced anything like it. At Austria Vienna everyone was hungry and wanted to win games.
Margreitter claimed the club were too quick to get rid of the man who signed him, Stale Solbakken, and reverted to a more direct style.
We had a big and well-balanced squad, and Solbakken got us to play cultured football rather than kick and rush, he said.
The club was probably too impatient in just giving him six months.
Dean Saunders then enforced the traditional English virtues, and they did not work.
The negative spiral continued dragging us down.
