Peterborough United winger Jon Taylor says the players are to blame for Darren Ferguson's departure on the weekend.
Ferguson, 43, and five members of his backroom staff left the club after Saturday's 3-0 loss at MK Dons, a third defeat in four games.
"I'm disgusted. We're all to blame," Taylor told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"We've cost six people their jobs. The performance on Saturday in the first 45 minutes was disgusting. We let the fans and the whole club down."
Taylor, 22, added: "I'm absolutely devastated. I took the blame personally - us as players went out to perform and we haven't performed as we should do.
"It's not acceptable. We're 15th in the league, which is absolutely embarrassing for this club."
