If the FA truly feel they must make a stand against role models setting the worst example for football, then they have a big decision to make over Constantine Hatzidakis.
Barely 24 hours ago, he wasn’t even a household name in his own household. Now, he is known to just about every football fan across the country... including the kids who are supposed to be swayed by these bad examples.
Many say the Football Association were right to act so strongly, with a severe eight-game ban for Aleksandar Mitrovic when he pushed referee Chris Kavanagh during Fulham’s FA Cup visit to Old Trafford. That was for a push, and apparently because he was in a position of influence, with the utmost standards of behaviour expected from him.
