Souness convinced Newcastle hero Ketsbaia forced out of Olympiakos by player power

Former Liverpool and Rangers boss Graeme Souness is convinced Newcastle hero Temuri Ketsbaia lost his job at Olympiakos because of player power.

Souness told the Daily Mail: "It can only be, he's gone in there and upset some of the senior players, and they've gone to the president and said, 'We're not having him'. Because that's the way it is today. Players are all-powerful today.

"If you've got four or five players on X amount a week and they fall out with the manager, they'll get him out of a job. It's no different in this country. It's becoming like that in this country. It's certainly been like that for a long time on the Continent."
