Mailbag: Is there a crisis of respect towards referees in football?

  • Summary

  • Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca has landed himself a hefty nine-month ban for squaring up to a referee. Not the smartest move, Paulo—but does it point to a wider crisis of respect in modern football?


    Marcus, Luke & Jim dive into that debate, plus they assess whether Alisson is currently the best goalkeeper in the world, and settle the all-important question: which former England manager would be the best company on a night out?
