A number of high-profile players have found themselves in trouble with their clubs after using social networking sites, most notably the likes of Liverpool’s Ryan Babel, Hull’s Jozy Altidore and Sunderland striker Darren Bent, who used Twitter to vent his frustration over his protracted move from Tottenham.
Now the PFA have stepped in with a plan to create official pages for all professional players.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: “The PFA are constantly monitoring the way their members are represented in all forms of the media.
“With Facebook continuing to grow, the union are proud to enable the association to bring players and fans closer together in a monitored environment for each professional.”
