Small fine, nothing more. No point.

Pathetic. Nothing to stop managers saying what the hell they like, really, is there?

Totally abuse the match officials and get fined less than a days pay that's punishment FA style, pathetic!!!!

FA charge Manchester City's manager Manuel Pellegrini with conduct unbecoming a Premier League manager.
................................................................................

After complaints by several high-profile Premier League managers, the FA have decided to charge Manuel Pellegrini with unsporting behaviour.
The 3 Premier League managers, who we believe to be Arsene Wenger, David Moyes and Brendan Rodgers have bemoaned the number of goals that their respective teams have leaked to the title favourites.

Quotes coming from David Moyes claim Manchester City have an unfair advantage playing at The Etihad Stadium. He claims "it's just unreasonable for them to play on such a pristine surface and gives their world-class players a clear advantage. How the Premier League can allow this is beyond me. Not only do we have to play against such quality opposition and the referees, but now the FA and the Premier League allow this to happen. It's ridiculous and shows nothing but bias by these self-appointed idiots"

The Liverpool manager claimed "the way their groundsmen mark out the pitch, with those stripes, makes it difficult for referees assistants to determine off sides. It's as if they've employed an optical illusionist as their head groundsman....how can that be fair? The Premier League will do nothing about it, they're spineless old wankers"

On the other hand, Arsene Wenger was more philosophical about the complaint "What pitch are you on about, I haven't seen it, so cannot comment"  When told of the complaints made by the other managers, Wenger replied "those who run this League are bunch of 'branleurs'. Ils peuvent faire foutre!"

The FA and the Premier League have taken on board their comments and Manuel Pellegrini now faces up to a 10 match touchline ban for insolence and cheating, the club will be deducted 12 points and fined £25m if found guilty. A decision is expected to be reached within the next 24 hours with no right of appeal as an option...."there is also the possibility that Manchester City may face sanctions from UEFA and may have to forfeit their upcoming tie against FC Barcelona" said an FA spokesperson. He went on to add "We expect all Premier League managers to conduct themselves in manner that befits their position and we have a proven record of handing out harsh punishments to those who disregard the rules of our proud game"
