PFA WARNS AGAINST POINTS DOCKING

Last updated : 25 September 2003 By Editor
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor, remembered by Reds for
stabbing Cantona in the back after the Selhurst Park
incident, told Sky News:

“The deduction of points should come after warnings have
been given and possibly ignored. It's an effective deterrent
at the end of a line of warnings, and if they are ignored I
think it's inevitable.

“People can pay a fine and carry on playing - everyone in
the game knows what the most effective deterrent is.”
