I agree any player of violent behaviour should be banned,
However if everybody including his dog has missed it, I don't think it's right for the opposing manager to bring it to the authorities attention,
It could set a dangerous president,
I can guarantee managers will be saying Tom, Dick or Harry should have been sent off for that if this is carried out,
Unknown waters we are crossing here
Surely the only precedent it will set is the one where players who do sneaky stuff away from or out of sight of the officials and still get called on it through video evidence. It doesn't matter who brings it to the attention of the authorities, surely the important thing is that it is brought to the attention of the authorities and that if the player is guilty he be punished. A manager making false claims won't happen as there has to be video evidence of the incident for a charge to be brought.
