Hate to say it because I think Clubby has shown no team spirit with the whole captaincy thing, BUT in this case the bloke has a point! From what can be read between the lines with the Dixon comments, Dixon for one would have no intention of going anywhere just yet but with so much uncertainty the blokes have to start thinking about the future. If the club has gone to the wall then let the class go and continue in the game.
If the club has a future then say so!
If they don't know then tell the players at least that they done know instead of nothing!!!
