FA fine Jewell and Redknapp

The Football Association disciplinary commission have fined Wigan manager Paul Jewell and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp £2,000 and £750 respectively for their behaviour towards match officials in recent games.

Jewell admitted a charge of improper conduct towards referee Phil Dowd and was also given a two-match touchline ban - suspended for 12 months - after reacting furiously at full-time following his side's 2-1 defeat by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on February 11.

Redknapp, meanwhile, was charged with using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official during the game against Manchester City on February 10, following which he was sent from the technical area.

Jewell has until March 30 to respond to a separate charge of improper conduct and/or bringing the game into disrepute regarding his post-match media comments relating to the Arsenal loss.
