There is no doubt that what goes on at the top of the professional game filters down to grassroots levels.
But I’m not sure I see the link between Premier League managers behaving poorly on the touchline and some of the shocking incidents that occur in amateur football.
I listened to Chris Sutton and Ian Ladyman’s latest It’s All Kicking Off podcast and the harrowing accounts of referees being physically attacked and threatened. Jim White and I have heard similar stories on our talkSport show and it’s clearly a serious problem that needs addressing.
