Tony Pulis and Jim Magilton both made headlines in newspapers all over the world for supposed antics in their respective locker rooms this past week.
Where some were concerned about the reported actions by the managers in their changing rooms, others were even more surprised that this kind of behavior was leaked from what has long been a safe haven in team sports.
Steve Bruce, the Sunderland manager, blames social networking sites and increased media exposure for the leaking of dressing-room spats. “It’s one thing that’s changed about football,” Bruce said.
“What happened in dressing rooms never used to leave the dressing rooms. Managers used to get a hold of you and there would be a fight every other week.”
Bevan argues: “The standards of conduct acceptable in a private working environment are set by the team within it. There is a long and cherished tradition, that is as important to players as it is to managers, that what goes on in a changing room is sacrosanct and private.”
