Vincent Kompany has called on the football authorities to hit aggressive managers with tougher punishments to deter copycat behaviour on the touchline.<\/p>\n
The respected Burnley manager says most top bosses don\u2019t want to be confrontational but sometimes step out of line because they fear rivals are gaining an advantage by getting in the officials\u2019 ears.<\/p>\n
On the day Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi escaped punishment for saying he disliked 80 per cent of England\u2019s referees, Kompany made it clear a clampdown is the only way to stop technical-area histrionics from spreading.<\/p>\n
Giving his backing to Mail Sport\u2019s campaign to \u2018Stop Abusing Referees\u2019, Kompany said: \u2018If we\u2019re in a position where others might get an advantage, it becomes really difficult for us not to mimic the behaviour, although we don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve tried my whole life not to, but it\u2019s difficult. If the League are hard and make a decision that they won\u2019t accept abuse any more, and no team can gain an advantage out of it, then it will stop.<\/p>\n

\u2018The managers I\u2019ve met are reasonable, likeable, sensible people. I can\u2019t imagine we all enjoy ranting and raving. There is more that goes into our work than that. It is about whether you think you will get a competitive advantage.\u2019<\/p>\n
We want to hear from refs who have been abused – or parents who have witnessed atrocious behaviour on the touchline<\/p>\n

Kompany, speaking before De Zerbi\u2019s let-off was revealed, cited an example from his time as Manchester City skipper as evidence that a tougher stance would work.<\/p>\n
\u2018There was a massive thing for players from the top teams to surround referees. I remember we had a meeting about this with the referees and I was one of the captains,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n
\u2018Our team was not doing that too much but I did say to the referees, \u201cLook, if the others are getting an advantage because of it and they are influencing the referees, I am getting pressure from my team saying why aren\u2019t we doing it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018So the Premier League did something really good. They started putting big fines on the teams who were doing it and red cards and sanctions.<\/p>\n
\u2018As soon as they did that, it went in a completely different direction. It would be the same regarding coaches now.<\/p>\n
\u2018The behaviour does go all the way to grassroots football. The biggest thing to try to stop it happening is to have a consistent approach at every level.\u2019<\/p>\n
