Premier League managers stepped up the fight against social media abuse on Friday, with Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp advising their players to ditch popular platforms and Aston Villa boss Dean Smith calling for a mass boycott.
Championship clubs Swansea City and Birmingham City, as well as Scottish champions Rangers, this week announced seven-day blackouts to ramp up pressure on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to clean up their platforms following more sickening racial abuse directed at players.
As revealed by Sportsmail, the Premier League and EFL will meet next week to discuss a complete social media boycott and on Friday a host of top-flight bosses spoke out.
