Such is the joy of being a football manager. there isnt really a lot the manager can do, shout at him and fine him is about all, particularly if the player in question is a good player and an integral part of the team.

The owners, shareholders and fans would soon see off the manager if he suspended him from playing and the team started losing. Damned if he does, damned if he doesnt.

Yes Cole is a twat, a stupid immature one. Hopefully the police will charge him with something suitable after completion of an investigation, endangering life by the unsafe discharge of a firearm (an air rifle is still classed under the firearms act).
