In my opinion, the poor performance of the team can be due to the politics while selecting players - the talented players are kept away from fields, while the wealthy & the influential plays in the field. The politics in selection of players, the training facilities, envirnment of players, the dealing of their bosses & the prize money affects the performance.

Wealth without work is a sin. When one get plenty of money, he will stop working. Then he will act as a boss - no play, try to manage others in vein & create problems due to ego clash.
