In football, it’s always much easier to sack a manager than to sack a whole squad. That’s why in most cases, regardless of whose fault it is, the buck stops with the coach. And in a day and age where players have never been more powerful, the rate of managers getting sacked is at an all-time high. Unai Emery has just become a victim of this disgusting modern trend.

Player power has once again prevailed, and these underperforming players have lost an honest man his job. Not one single player in that dressing room can honestly say they’ve performed at their best this season, except Matteo Guendouzi. The players showed through their attitude and effort that they didn’t want to play for Emery, thus resulting in poor performances.

If that wasn’t enough, we’ve seen multiple reports emerge that players were mocking the Spaniard on the training ground for his pronunciation of words in English. What has happened at Arsenal is a disgrace and Emery didn’t deserve to get sacked, these players should have.
