England's new manager, Roy Hodgson, has laid down the law over how he expects his squad to behave during Euro 2012 this summer. Hodgson has told his players that they will be allowed to enjoy the city centre attractions of Krakow - their base for the tournament.
But he has warned them that if any player indulges in the sort of behaviour that brought England's World Cup rugby team into disrepute, they will not be part of his future plans.
Warning: England manager Roy Hodgson demands good behaviour from his squad
Hodgson's squad will be given an advisory document which the Football Association have drawn up in order to avoid the type of debacle that dogged England's trip to New Zealand last autumn.
Members of the team were photographed drinking late into the night and became embroiled in embarrassing off-the-field incidents.
The FA had already decided under former manager Fabio Capello to ditch the idea of using a remote training camp, an experience that bored many of the players in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup.
Instead, England will base themselves in the picturesque, but lively, Polish city of Krakow and have booked the Hotel Stary in the city centre for the duration of the tournament.
