And that's his opinion. It doesn't mean he should just ban it because he doesn't like it. They're adults, they can do what they like without their employers trampling into their personal lives.
SAF was against twitter from day 1, it just bring unnecessary distraction when someone like Rio or Frimpong does some idiotic acts. Even Morrison got into trouble for his tweets. Unnecessary distraction, better to ban the players from using it.
Hopefully SAF sticks to these words.

They represent club on and off the pitch so manager has the right to ban if he thinks it's not worth it.
If SAF wants to ban, he will ban and players will listen to that.

Its more he has the right to penalise them if they cross the rules of the club. He hasn't got any real case to ban them outright. Nor does he really intend to try. He's talked about it before, he doesnt like it, but he's never mentioned stopping them.
No he can, just he didn't ban players from using it. If Rio gets banned for few games then I can see him employing stricter rules against twitter.
It will be hard to see him test whether he can ban players from using Twitter, at best he can ban them from mentioning the club in anyway shape or form. On what ruling could be ban them from twitter?
SAF said club is looking at it (to ban twitter) when Rooney threatened someone on twitter, just that he dropped it as nothing much happened after that. If Rio is banned then I can see him doing that or something close to that.
Has anyone ever been banned over twitter?

Yet another pointless argument.
Anyway, he got fined for agreeing with someone on twitter ?
Then he's an idiot.
We may start season with only one fit CB.
Smalling - out for 10 weeks
Evans - might miss start of the season
Vidic - maybe back for the start but not completely sure.
Jones - Not sure if he is injured or given time off.
Rio - might be banned for few games.
So Carrick as CB will happen much earlier than last few seasons.
If we do end up with only one fit CB (Vidic) then I hope we play Wootton as playing Carrick as CB will have weaken us in 2 positions at a time.
We are going to need to buy a centre back by the end of the season. At the very least we should be watching the young ones, and have an eye out in the market.
