It does no benefit to the players.

And I'm sure that, you know, there'll be players like Reece James.

I'm sure he's, you know, who's someone who loves the club inside out, has been there since he's a kid.

He'll probably be looking at that and thinking, you know, what are you doing there?

So I just don't think that it was the right time for him to come out with comments like that, especially at such an important time in the club's position that they're in.

So if Rhys James was asked a question as an England international and as a big player for Chelsea, if he was asked a question about where he'd want to live one day, perhaps outside the UK, and he said Spain or Italy or whatever, he's quite within his rights to do that because maybe he wants to...

to taste that and take his family to see a different culture.

Is that a suspension?

I mean, is that the waters that we're treading in?

It just seems very childish.

It seems unnecessary.

Yes, players talk.

Yeah, people get annoyed.

Sometimes managers get annoyed.

But suspensions only come around to me when you have said the most derogatory things about the manager, the staff, or the players, or there's been physical violence.

All the other stuff has been going on since day dot.

So it's a very dangerous road to go down.

You know the weird thing, Dan?

Go on.

How do we make a point without harming ourselves?
