Football is a watered-down version of the army, discipline-wise. In the army, you clean your shoes, tidy your bed and do things you don't want to do, you must obey orders. When a manager tells you to do something, you do it. The overall thinking is when we go to battle, you get instructions you must comply with and you get used to obeying instructions and respecting authority. It keeps everyone together on the same sheet. If you go into a war and two soldiers do their own thing, they get the rest killed. We are not in the army, but there have to be rules players must adhere to. Such things as not being late for training, not leaving their training kit on the floor, being in for treatment on time, living their lives properly and not going to McDonald's. You take all that on the pitch with you. They should eat like athletes. I don't think Jessica Ennis stops at McDonald's" – new Wolves manager, Dean Saunders, makes an impressive leap of lateral thinking from battlefield to Big Mac.
