Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson is refusing to comment on Micah Richards' situation.
As no stranger to headlines himself from his time in charge of England, Eriksson is well placed to offer Richards some timely advice about avoiding such situations in future.
But, rather like Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United players' party, it is not a subject for public consumption.
"I have spoken to Micah but that is all the comment I have to make about it," said Eriksson.
