Sheffield Wednesday manager has been sanctioned for misconduct

Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Friday, Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined £2,000.

However, the ban is suspended until the end of the 2013/14 season and will only be invoked should a proven breach of FA Rule E3 occur before the end of that period.

The misconduct charge, which Jones admitted, followed Sheffield Wednesday’s match at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on 2 February 2013.

Meanwhile, an Independent Regulatory Committee approved The FA’s proposal to withdraw the charge for Brighton’s first team coach Charlie Oatway in relation to the same incident.

Therefore, no further action will be taken against Oatway.
