'Morally indefensible': Arsenal's 'shameful decision' to make 55 staff redundant slammed by Piers Morgan as Ian Wright also hits out at club's hierarchy after admitting they have been 'hit severely' by coronavirus crisis

Arsenal's decision to make 55 staff redundant this month has inevitably been met with fury by many, including Piers Morgan and Ian Wright.

On Wednesday, the Gunners announced they were to take cost-cutting measures by letting 55 members of staff go as the coronavirus pandemic continues to negatively impact the Gunners' finances.

And following the controversial decision, Arsenal supporter Morgan heavily slammed the move from his club following their 14th FA Cup triumph last weekend.

Piers Morgan labelled Arsenal's decision as 'shameful' and 'morally indefensible' on Twitter

Morgan took to Twitter: Arsenal firing 55 staff when we're owned by a multi-billionaire, have just made £££ by winning the FA Cup & qualifying for Europe, & pay Mesut Ozil £350k-a-week to sit on his a***, is morally indefensible & not what I expect from a club with our heritage.
