Is Freezing Out A Player Ever A Good Idea?

There are however some situations where players deserve to be treated like they have the plague – Carlos Tevez is one of these, and no amount of talent can excuse the behaviour the striker has displayed at times this season. A bust up with the manager is one thing – these happen and it is dealt with and moved on from. Downright disrespect however is quite another thing, and simply cannot be tolerated.

Unless the Chelsea pairing of Anelka and Alex and indeed Bridge at City have done something drastically wrong that the public are not privy to, it does seem strange that they are being treated in the way they are by their managers. If nothing else, it is disrespectful and ungrateful to players who have done nothing wrong except not be ones the manager fancies.

I may be being overly sentimental here, but I do not believe it is right or fair to treat players in such a way. Yes sometimes they do not fit in and need to move on, but humiliating them is not the way forward. You never know when a player may come in useful or may cross your path again, and leaving under a cloud is something that is becoming all too familiar sight these days, and when a player is told he has no chance of playing for the first team and shown an utter lack of respect, quite frankly I don’t blame them for being more than a little aggrieved.
