When will a team start firing underperforming players instead of the manager?
I guess they cant really do this can they?
The only way that they could get rid of the players that they dont really want is by putting them in the transfer list then hope that another team would bid close to their asking price. For a team like Manchester United, most of their players are pricey and yet some would likely sit through the windows transfer without getting any bid at all. Anyway, Rashford sucks with his attitude on the field by weighing down the team but compared to Sancho then I guess he is in much better position. I can already picture Sancho out for the entire season unless we got more injuries in the future
@navidart : 1-0 for now with 1 different answer. I can turn this around today then hope that we'll proceed to the penalty round
Trofo I have asked this question many, many times. But I think it's something about player rights -- employees just like managers but ultimately without the responsibility of performance. To me, though, managers get the sack so players should get the same risk. Unfortunately, you only get the sack as s player if you get convicted of criminal offences.
Best case scenario, you get managers like Klopp who doesn't like discipline problems, then he tells them to go find a new club. Then okay, their agents hunt.
Worst-case scenario? Players get frozen out for not performing, but still draw salaries. What a joke.
But "release" here just means contract ended, not renewed. Liverpool released 11 players last season. Some for performance obviously, but none were sacked.
Edit: I read that article. These players were dropped from squad but still under contract. Like Sancho at United. Not named in squad but still getting paid.
