How does a red card for a manager stop this sort of thing?

If it happened to you in the street it would certainly result in a diffrrent reaction. Its abusive and bully behaviour. The coward hides behind his positionJust chin them back
That sounds like a deleted scene from behind Brent’s desk on the office. You could just see him delivering that,fixing his tie and side eying the camera.View attachment 187558
Klopp was just "helping him", why would you want that to stop?
6 game ban.
This stuff gets replicated down the leagues, so examples must be set.
Hulking beasts looking down at the rugby ref, referring to him as sir.Gets replicated at grass roots level too, hence, why one of the junior leagues in Liverpool, called off all the games last weekend, after a sixteen year old ref, left the pitch in tears, the weekend before, after getting dogs abuse from the line, during a kids game.
Also calls for grass roots refs, to wear body cams.
My lad plays both footy and rugby. The behaviour of the players, parents and coaches on the sidelines, between footy and rugby is like night and day.
I threatened to send a parent off from the school grounds for swearing at the ref (happened to be me!) ... even used the f word at the tip if his voice, in an after school match against a posh school. He was a parent of one of the lads in the posh school. Our school was rough as. I blew my whistle and slowly walked over to him and said "we don't use that word in this school" ... which was a blatant lie- it was used like punctuation.Gets replicated at grass roots level too, hence, why one of the junior leagues in Liverpool, called off all the games last weekend, after a sixteen year old ref, left the pitch in tears, the weekend before, after getting dogs abuse from the line, during a kids game.

When he asked "what if I don't go?" I simply said then I'll go, the match will end ... and all these kids and all the other parents will know its because you, a grown man, can't control your emotions over a child's game any you will have wasted everybody's time and effort getting here.
He shut up. The kids were as good as gold. I even heard a ripple of applause from somewhere - but that could have been in my head!

Absolutely those rules should be implemented. It staggers me that they're not. Whats more id like the refs miked up like in rugby ... that would mean we hear what the skippers say - and would stop any possibility of the likes of Henderson reminding the ref just how much the rs were willing to pay for a pen - which I'm certain happens.It wouldn`t be too difficult to introduce a few of the rugby rules ( both codes ) into footy and it`d give the ref a lot more authority :
1. Only the captains can talk to the ref.
2. Anyone else approaching the ref and the ball is moved forward ten yards.
3. Any form of foul or abusive language towards the ref, results in getting sin binned or if it`s really bad a straight red.
They introduced sin bins to grass roots footy last season, for things like back chat, but it hardly seems to be used.
Some of the stuff I`ve seen at kids footy, is just sickening - 22 play brawl, head butting, running kicks to the head on the floor and parents / coaching staff, fighting with each other on the line.
