West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has denied an FA charge of misconduct in relation to media comments.

The comments followed his side’s FA Cup with Budweiser Third Round replay against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 16 January 2013.

It is alleged Allardyce questioned the integrity of the match referee and/or match officials in general, and/or implied that the match referee and/or match officials in general were motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute in contravention of Rule E3(1).

Allardyce has requested a personal hearing, the date of which will be set in due course.
