Aston Villa No2 Gary McAllister has rubbished reports of player mutiny against manager Gerard Houllier.
McAllister denied claims Houllier had made draconian changes to the club rule book.
McAllister told BBC Sport: "I don't think there's any mutiny here. There's been little arguments here and there but nothing outside the realms of what happens at most clubs.
"The facts are most football clubs have a rule book which is set by the PFA [Professional Footballers' Association] and apart from little tweaks here and there, it's a standard rule book.
"Mobile phones aren't switched on inside the building and Gerard had this rule when I was a player at Liverpool.
"It's to encourage people to speak to each other rather than be texting and phoning. But when they get to the car park, it's fine.
"I've also never worked under a chairman (Lerner) who's more accommodating. I've probably spoken to him more than I've spoken to any other chairman."
