Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is planning to stamp
out any further off-field incidents by enforcing prohibition on his
squad.
Redknapp told The Sun: "I'll implement a strong rule
next season that drinking is a no-no here. Footballers should not
drink.
"You shouldn't put diesel in a Ferrari. I know it's hard but
they are earning big money, they are role models to kids. They
should dedicate their lives to playing.''
King has since apologised to Redknapp, describing the incident
as "a night out with friends'' which "went too far''.
But the Tottenham boss added: "We wouldn't get these problems if
the players weren't drinking. There's still too much of a drinking
culture in English football but it's not as bad as it used to
be.
"At Tottenham we do a lot with kids, a lot of them
underprivileged. We have to set an example. Too much drinking goes
on in this country. Too many people are not happy unless they have
had a drink.''
