You sound like an episode of the X-files, with this "truth will out" stuff. There are some things not being made public, but I'd imagine every organisation on the planet is the same.
But to try and work on your example, I work in the public sector. It's important to me that I do a good job for my boss, but I really couldn't give two hoots if the "public" think I do a good job, or if they even know what I do despite the fact they pay (part of) my salary.
Myabe our players have had the same mentality. We're all a bit stupid really, we go any pay our money whether or not we play well, so the players perhaps haven't worried about the supporters' opinions. But it's Maurice who pays the wages, not the coach, so as long as ML is happy then they still get paid. Is that a professsional attitude to have? Probably not, but the only people who can really sort that out are the ones paying the money.
And it should be remembered that, as much as we spectators bring to the club, they will get at least as much if not more money from the corporate clients, Sky TV, Whelan's back pocket etc. We're the most numerous but perhaps not the most financially-important contributors to the club.
