Because they are paid a fortune to shut their pie hole and get on with the job. We are paid fucking peanuts which we then have to throw at these players in the hope we'll distract them from moving to another club. Why are all the rules in the favour of players? They want normal employment conditions even though their job is completely abnormal, but they don't want all those conditions, just the good shit. If you gave a negative interview to the local paper about your firm you'd be in the manager's office and he'd have grounds to kick you out the door. Good luck trying to sack Sagna, he'd be even richer if those sort of normal conditions really applied. He might be right, he might be wrong, most likely somewhere in the middle and we all know this club is run by uber-shits. Why don't the players just shut up and get on with training/ recovery?
