That is so tone deaf.

Premier League urges clubs to allow dressing-room filming and in-game interviews

The Premier League has asked clubs to give broadcasters the right to film inside dressing rooms or conduct in-game player interviews from next season

Another reason to turn the game on a minute from kickoff and then mute it at halftime.

Any interview before the final whistle is a complete waste of time in any circumstances.

Yep, more unwanted gimmicks...

Can't speak for Southampton fans, but if this Wolves the kid posting this would be hunted down and given a slap. Nothing remotely entertaining about their season. Tinpot

The NFL do half time interviews with the head coaches as they run off the field. They are universally the worst, most pointless interviews where nothing is said and nothing is learned. Absolute complete and utter waste of everybody's time. Yet here we are planning to copy them.

Imagine the Leicester game in 2020 when Mike Dean/VAR has fucked us yet again. Even Captain Coady is losing his shit walking off the pitch and then some mook sticks a microphone under his nose, Conor can we get your thoughts on that half?

Unless there's an amnesty on players being fined for speaking out of turn during "live interviews" to allow for high emotions all it's going to achieve is an increase in "improper conduct" charges.
