manager comments - should there be harsher penalties?

[neil999]

both rogers and moyes been in trouble this week, with stupid comments they have made about referrees, however all they will get is a fine and a touchline ban(which does s0d all) however a player getting banned has a genuine effect on the team.

should there be harsher penalty? the most obvious one to me would be a points deduction?

otherwise, this is just going to keep happening and the FA will look silly

Should stop interviewing the managers straight after the game, problem solved.

agreed

during the game would be much better

Not really... they'd just repeat the same things at the next opportunity if they're so desperate to make their point.

Although I can sort of see where you're coming from, as a lot of things are said in the heat of the moment.

Or perhaps we could stick a microphone on them and ask them to give us a running commentary on their thoughts. BT Sport users could perhaps switch from the match commentary to manager mic.

Managers should be allowed to say whatever they want

I want epic Dana White style rants on MOTD!

The likes of rodgers and Moyes are so desperate to avoid any responsibility for defeats they will say anything, at least the utd fans pick up on it, of course the deluded bulb fest over the park buy into it and start internet campaigns

Its all part of the footie circus really. Managers must get so frustrated when all the work they have done is undone by a daft decision.

exactly, its when they try to deflect stuff that its completely wrong

It's one thing to disagree with the officials and state so. The official is applying their interpretation of the rules to the match so if someone disagrees, that's bound to happen.

But when you say things like "we have to play the opposition and the officials" you sound like a 12 year old and deserve whatever punishment comes to you.

not really, when you imply a referree is biased or all referrees are against you, what your saying is utter nonsense and questioning someones proffesionalism, they cant just say what they want ffs!

Spot on mate. Most managers sound like complete spanners at the best of times as it is. It was so obvious that Moyes was trying a "Fergie", and ended up looking like a fool.

I think managers should be allowed to say that a bad refereeing decision cost them the game, provided they don't suggest the ref was bent

Then the referee should be able to retort with the reasons why the manager cost his own team the match.

The ref doesn't HAVE to face a press conference while the manager does

UEFA fine you for not doing them FFS
