Wolves fined for fielding weakened team

[Rolo Feen]

So Wolves were fined €25,000 for fielding a weakened side against Man Yoo.

So the Premier League therefore are taking the power away from a manager to select a side as he sees fit for a certain game. Whatever side he thinks will do the job he sees fit is surely the managers job and his alone? Not the Premier Leagues.

Most ridiculous and idiotic course of intrusive, and unwarranted action by the FA in recent history.

Agree with you most of the big clubs have been doing it for years and getting away it. Hyprocisy of the highest order.

 

[Pontipine]

Crazy decision by the FA.

They have no right to decide which is any clubs strongest line-up once all players are in the first team squad.

 

[xvis]

Suspended.

 

[Eoin]

Ridiculous decision.

 

[Jinky]

What happens when the bigger sides go to the likes of Hull etc with weakened teams?

Every one of the top 4 should be getting hit for their Rumbelows Cup selections if this is the case.

 

[afeencalleddan]

Ridiculous decision. Much as I thought he was an eejit for putting out such a weak team, I would defend to the death his right to do it.

jokers, nothing new though.

 

[Stacky]

The F.A.should know by now that any team that Mick McCarthy sends out is a weakened team.

 

[STEVIEG]

It's the FA

should not be a suprise


Rafa sent a weak team to Fulham, lost and influenced a relegation campaign in 07

If they field a weakened team and win it can be seen as slightly different but it's still the same principle, and it's typical of the FA that they charge a club for this while ignoring it with other clubs
