Southampton boss Ruben Selles insists the management upheaval hasn't influenced poor results on the pitch.
With Saints bottom of the Premier League table, a raft of football directors and staff are moving on.
Asked if the changes can be used as an excuse for the players, Selles said: No, of course.
When you are in a club in our situation, you have some issues and the daily routines but it's nothing that we can extrapolate into the pitch.
I think we are where we are and then we need to fight to show that we are good enough to compete in this league and then we can beat anybody so it's not any issues outside that are making the difference or disturbing us."
The Spaniard added: Well, that's the problem that we didn't find any consistency in any of the moments and in the beginning with the team we thought we can make it.
We were considering what we do. I think we have had some good performances.
But in the last week, we combined some of the good moments with the bad moments so that lack of consistency is in that situation and we are trying to find it back and that we are trying to make it better.
And that's one of the things that we need to look at it and then say we need to do it better and then we need to be more robust in the things that we do."
