This week on VAR You Serious, we dive into one of the biggest trends in modern football: why managers are being sacked faster than ever. Are players forcing clubs’ hands, are ownership groups expecting instant success, or is the entire system broken? We break down why patience has disappeared and who’s really to blame.Underdogs take over this episode as we run through a wild set of shock results. Wrexham knock out Nottingham Forest on penalties in the FA Cup, Macclesfield pull off the biggest FA Cup upset ever by beating Crystal Palace, Paris FC eliminate PSG in the closest rivalry in football, and Albacete stun Real Madrid just days after Xabi Alonso’s dismissal. We debate which of these results truly matters most in the long run.Our VAR You Serious Moment of the Week looks at refereeing inconsistencies across competitions. Manchester City see a goal disallowed in the Carabao Cup due to the lack of offside technology, while a similar Arsenal goal against Chelsea is allowed. We discuss how the same rules are being applied differently depending on the competition and what needs to change to restore trust in officiating.We close with Parting Shots, firing through big questions including who will win AFCON between Senegal and host nation Morocco, whether Real Madrid will be better or worse without Xabi Alonso, who wins more trophies this season between Arsenal and Manchester City, whether Liam Rosenior can guide Chelsea to the Champions League, if Michael Carrick will keep the Manchester United job, and whether Rayan Cherki is the signing of the season.Fast-paced debate, big opinions, and the chaos of football.
