The club and its chairman have been fined £75,000

Gillingham FC and its chairman Paul Scally have been fined £75,000 each, subject to any appeal, after FA misconduct charges against them were found proven.

The Club and Mr Scally, who has also been ordered to attend an education programme, were found to be in breach of FA Rule E3(1) for failing to act in the best interests of the game and bringing the game into disrepute. 

This followed an Employment Tribunal decision which held that an employee had been unfairly dismissed by the Club and that the dismissal was an act of race victimisation by Mr Scally and the club.
