Liverpool chief Ayre: Social media a problem for players

Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre concedes social media is "a problem" for players.

Mario Balotelli was charged by the Football Association on Friday following allegedly racist and anti-Semitic comments on social media.

"Given the choice we'd love to keep all our players away from social media because it really is a problem," Ayre said.

"I can honestly say there isn't any more we could do as a club to try to educate our players around this, but it still rears its head at least once a season - probably at every club in some form or another."
