A blanket boycott of social media by Premier League clubs is being considered for next weekend.
On Monday, Sportsmail revealed a growing number of sides are ready to send out what they hope will be a powerful, symbolic message — in the wake of the torrent of racist abuse suffered by players in recent months — by going offline at the same time.
And it is understood the prospect of a blackout from Friday April 23 to Monday April 26 has now been mooted. Such a move would see Tottenham and Manchester City go silent on their social media channels for the Carabao Cup final on the Sunday.
