Fulham Coach Arbeloa Fined for Comments About Referee After Premier League Draw with Man United
The Football Association said Arbeloa admitted improper conduct after remarks that implied bias by match officials.
- On Wednesday, the Football Association fined Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa £25,000 after he accepted a charge of having "acted in an improper manner" following a 1-1 draw against Manchester United on September 20.
- Arbeloa made the remarks after United rescued a point at Craven Cottage in the 89th minute, claiming, "I knew after the game against Manchester City that they don't let Manchester United lose here."
- An independent commission investigating the incident stated the manager's words implied "bias and/or question the integrity of a match official," suggesting possible pre-meditation by officials.
- The 43-year-old Spaniard remains winless in his first season with the London club, which currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League with two points from six matches.
- In addition to the fine, the Football Association issued a formal warning to Arbeloa regarding his conduct, reinforcing regulatory standards for manager conduct in the Premier League.
