Swiss outfit FC Grenchen have sacked 11 of their players after a 10-0 defeat at the hands of the Lucerne youth team.
The names of the sacked players were reportedly put up at the training ground before the 11 were instructed to empty their lockers and leave.
Sporting director Renato Brun is quoted by The Guardian as saying: "It sounds brutal, but these players are not good enough for this league.
"I am the head of sport and there to do something when [the club] is not running smoothly. I am one who talks less and does more."
The double-figure loss leaves Grenchen at the foot of the Swiss third division table.
