Alan Pardew is charged with improper conduct by the FA

The FA charged Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew with impropers conduct. Punishment is yet to be determined.

The FA statement was:
‘It is alleged that in the 72nd minute of the fixture, Pardew was involved in an incident with a Hull City player that amounted to improper conduct.
Due to the serious violent and/or aggressive nature of the reported behaviour this case has been designated as non-standard.
Pardew has until 6pm on Thursday 6 March 2014 to respond to the charge’.

Pardew headbutted Hull City player David Meyler in the second half of the match at KC stadium last Saturday which caused uproar among supporters and pundits.

Many have condemned his actions and labelled them as ‘unacceptable’. The club’s management have fined him £100,000 but he will now most probably serve an extensive touchline ban, considering it is not the first time Pardew loses his temper during the matches. The manager has until 6 March to respond to the FA, but is likely to accept any punishment.
