The TV plug is about to be pulled from Barclays Premier League dug-outs in a move to stop top-flight managers berating match officials as they leave the pitch.

Bosses will find it far more difficult to argue from next season when all TV monitors will be removed from the technical and tunnel areas.

Managers and their assistants will therefore no longer have access to slow-motion replays as ammunition against referees and their assistants over controversial decisions that go against them.
