Alan Pardew’s clash with the English Football Association has resulted in severe consequences. Following his headbutt on Hull City player David Meyler, the Newcastle manager has been handed a hefty punishment—a seven-match suspension. For the Magpies’ next three fixtures, Pardew will be banned from the stadium, and he’ll have to watch the subsequent four matches from the stands.
Moreover, Pardew faces a financial blow, as he’s fined £60,000 (approximately €72,000). Coupled with the £100,000 imposed by his club for his misconduct, the total amounts to £160,000. It’s a significant sum, one that could have been avoided had Pardew exercised better judgment.
