Carl Hoefkens risks becoming a persona non grata at the Hawthorns after being publicly critical over his lack of playing time and admitting that he strongly considering leaving West Bromwich Albion as a result.
West Brom boss Tony Mowbray struggled to conceal his disgust that the Belgian international chose to vent to the press rather than have a provide word with him, though stressed that the situation can still be mended.
"It surprised me when I saw them but Carl Hoefkens is a man, not a little boy," Mowbray was quoted as saying by Setanta Sports.
"I don't rule this place with an iron rod and make sure that anybody who says anything out of line is smashed down.
"It's not like that. Carl is well within his rights to speak. I always prefer people to air their disappointment to me and not publicly because I think it can erode team camaraderie if individuals start speaking out.
"I understand that it's better for the media the more players they can find to speak about dissension.
"But I understand Carl's frustration, because he is an experienced international player who hasn't been playing in the Premier League and it's not as if we have been ripping the place up defensively.
"I have always said that if players want to leave I've got no problem with it. Carl should come and see me and I will try to facilitate whatever he wants, as long as it fits into the business model of our club."
