Newcastle United have fined manager Alan Pardew 100,000 pounds for his behaviour on the touchline this afternoon at the KC Stadium. Pardew is also the subject of an FA investigation and is likely to be heavily penalised for the incident, having already received a formal warning earlier this season.

The club statement read:

“Newcastle United are disappointed with the actions of its manager Alan Pardew this afternoon (Saturday 1^st March). His behaviour was unacceptable and is not the behaviour we expect from the manager of Newcastle United.

It is most disappointing that this incident has taken the focus away from what was a fantastic performance by the team and an excellent result away from home which leaves the club in either place in the Barclays Premier League.

Sadly the headlines tomorrow will not be focussed on the result or the effors of the players, but instead of the action of our manager.

Alan unreservedly apologised immediately following the game to the player, to Hull City Football Club and its fans, and to the fans of Newcastle United.

We have held discussions this evening with Alan who has offered his sincere apologies to the Club and it is clear he deeply regrets his actions. Alan has accepted a formal warning from the Club in relation to his behvaiour today and also a Club fine of £100,000.

The Club is now drawing a line under this matter and will be making no further comment.”

It was clearly not a head butt. If people consider the movement of his head a head butt then Alan Pardew must be the worst person in the UK at doing head butts.
My gran could have done better than that.

Having said that what was he thinking. Disgraceful behaviour from our manager.
