| Harriers beat Hereford 3-0 at Edgar Street on Boxing Day and Caddis said they were the best side in the league |
It appears Kidderminster Harriers manager Phil Brown - who had been highly regarded in their battle against relegation from non-league's top flight last season - has lost the dressing room. In his post-match interview, the gaffer said the players could have put in a bad performance as they might want him out of the club.
Kidderminster lost 3-1 at Marine midweek before being on the wrong end of the same scoreline at home against Spennymoor on Saturday. It means Harriers have won three of their 10 league games so far this year, with Hereford winning seven of their 11.
The downturn in results has seen the fans approval ratings for Brown seemingly tumble, with Harriers' league position not far behind as they drop out of the play-offs to eighth.
But after the woeful performance at Aggborough, in a long post-match interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester, Phil Brown openly criticised his players and said how they had embarrassed him and made his life a misery - as well as saying "there's something going on in the changing room."
He started by saying his played had "worn the shirt with no pride whatsoever" and had "no ambition to try and win the game".
After an "unrecognisable" performance from players, he admitted "there's something going on in the changing room" but he didn't know what. He said "it's almost like they didn't want me at the football club".
"They played that way, that's the only way I can describe the performances that they played for to get me out the football club," he confessed.
"If that's the case I'd love for one of them to just step up here and talk in front of the cameras and just say them words. I'm wasting my time trying to motivate a group of players if they want me out the club and that's the way they represented me today."
On Boxing Day, Harriers beat Hereford 3-0 at Edgar Street and Bulls boss Paul Caddis called them the best side in the league - a sentiment many home fans would have agreed with.
The 65-year-old boss, formerly manager at nine clubs including Derby County, Hull City and Southend United, also said: "They [the players] have made my life a misery and consequently, because of that, I might as well make theirs a misery. We're in tomorrow, we've got preparation for a game on Tuesday. I'll stay at the helm as long as the chairman wants me here because it's the chairman that employs me.
"The way the players represented themselves today was just really not good enough for themselves, not just for the football club."
He said to train one way and then to perform another in front of the 2,200 home fans at Aggborough was like the players were "imposters".
He said he would get the players in on Sunday morning and he would have to treat them like"naughty school boys". He said he would continue to "educate them as best I possibly can until I'm told otherwise".
Continuing his scathing interview, Brown, who made more than 600 appearances for Hartlepool United, Halifax Town, Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool, added there was no chance of a championship or a play-off place with performances like that against Spennymoor and instead hoped 54 points - their current tally - was enough to avoid relegation.
