Simon Jordan hits out at Rodri over his comments in a press conference pre Manchester City's first Champions League game, where he says players may want to strike due to the congested football schedule.
Simon Jordan has slammed the idea of a potential player strike following Rodri ’s criticism of the revamped football calendar.The emergence of the UEFA Nations League alongside this season’s restructured Champions League format could see some players feature in 75 games across a season.
"How are you going to justify those players going out on strike? If the big noises want to go out on strike, fill your boots.” “Sign a contract with your employer that has certain criteria attached to it, you have ultimate control of your destiny,” Jordan said.“If you don’t want to play in a certain amount of games then you are within your gift to say to your employer, ‘I need to manage myself.’
“If you don’t want to play in the FA Cup, don’t do that either. If you don't want to sign for a Champions League club, don't sign for one.
