Another fan highlighted the growth of player power in soccer nowadays.
The Fallacy of having a player who is BIGGER than the coach in the locker room.
None of the top managers would condone such a dressing room.

The fan mentioned, “Ronaldo sacks every coach wherever he goes Garcia was doing sooo well until that fraûd came in.” The importance of manager and player relations is critical. If a player is above the club, then the loss of authority causes various issues. The fan pointed out, “The Fallacy of having a player who is BIGGER than the coach in the locker room. None of the top managers would condone such a dressing room.”
Thus, all hell broke loose at Al-Nassr after the current issues. But was it a wise decision or one that’s taken out of pressure to keep their best player?
