Bangladesh women's team head coach Peter Butler has sent out a clear warning to the 18 protesting women's team players, saying there is no scope for negotiation regarding discipline in the team.

In a conversation with the media at the Bangladesh Football Federation House on Wednesday Butler, who on Tuesday explained his side to the special committee - formed to resolve the row between the English coach and the players - cautioned that he would not compromise.  

"There has been no negotiation. I have made it very clear to the [higher-ups], that there is no [scope of] negotiation. As far as I am concerned, it's about a choice. Either they stay or I stay. Simple as that," he said. 

Eighteen players, most of them seniors, have been boycotting the national team training camp since the arrival of Butler on Tuesday last week. The special committee held discussions with most of the players before sitting with the coach

"I've worked with certain individuals who shout obscenities and speak ill truths from a building where the BFF have provided them with food and accommodation.

"I find it absolutely crazy that they are allowed to do that.

"There are no facts, no truths… They are playing the victim card, which is nonsense. It should be stopped. It has to stop.

"I haven't given names. I've said there are a certain number of players who have refused to come to training -- they are ringleaders.

"They have got no facts, they speak complete illicit ill truths, and I will not coach certain individuals whilst I'm here.

"And if it's a choice between them being here and me being here, so be it. I'm a big boy. I've got broad shoulders. I'm from the UK. You gotta remember, I'm from the football culture, where if they performed and did things which they had been doing here, they would be upstairs, having their bags packed, they'd be frogmarched down the stairs and kicked out into the streets.

"I mean, do they understand what it's like to work in a department store, stack shelves, and do menial work? They are lucky girls.

"I know this nonsense about we have won this SAFF tournament, but you know, how many girls have played overseas? They have not, because they don't have discipline. And this is a reflection of where we are in the present time."
