Well done Mr Littbarski. I can think of a few 'footballers' in this country who deserve similar!

In principal you have to admire his stance... In reality player power will take over and he will get the sack! Agree though we could do with a lot more doing this

Yes well PL certainly has had a glittering managerial career thus far. he'd certainly be one of the first most aspiring managers would run to for advice on dealing with wayward professional footballers

So the modern day footballer can do as he likes, unless he plays under a Wenger or a Ferguson?

If Roy Keane had done that people would be claiming he had lost the plot.
If someone's not playing well drop them and let that be the end of it, he's doing no one any favours IMO.
