Deterrent needed

Leighton says clubs need to be prevented from targeting officials unless there is clear evidence of wrongdoing. He said: "There needs to be some form of deterrent to stop clubs going ahead with stuff like this, which has no basis and impacts so badly on the referee. "Our concern is it could happen from any club and is more likely to happen again if there is not some acceptance by Chelsea that this was wrong and shouldn't have happened."
