Former Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has slammed the current squad after their relegation.
Many feel that boardroom politics have played a large part in Cardiff's downfall this season.
But Jones told BBC Radio: "You (have) got to remember that the arguments shouldn't affect the players going onto the pitch.
"I think that can be an excuse sometimes for players.
"They're still training, they're still focused. In all honesty, things like that shouldn't have an effect on the playing side, because they are away from it.
"The internal battles that do go in the boardroom are in the boardroom. They're not out on the football pitch and they're certainly not out on the training ground.
"It should have little impact, to be honest."
