Newcastle United have this evening released a formal statement in relation to the incident involving manager Alan Pardew at the KC Stadium earlier today. The statement reads:

“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.”

I like and respect Pardew, but what a perfect response by the club. Well done. I'm so proud of Newcastle United. Sadly, the fine won't really be a punishment for someone on a PL manager's salary, but the club have done all they really can, I think.

Yes, and I support him being punished. I'm just saying I think the club have reacted in a very good manner. The fine is largely symbolic I suppose, but the statement is spot on. The club suffers since our wonderful win is overshadowed, and that is the point they emphasised in the statement.

I hope Pardew is allowed to manage the team, even if he is sent to the stands, since, in my opinion, it is very important that we finish as highly in the table as possible.
