FA punish Brown

19th November 2008

Hull manager Phil Brown has been fined £1,000 and warned over his future conduct by the Football Association after admitting a charge of improper conduct.

The charge relates to Brown's touchline behaviour during the Tigers' 5-0 Barclays Premier League defeat against Wigan at the KC Stadium on August 30.

The FA's regulatory commission revealed the punishment took into account Brown's admission of the charge, his immediate apology to the match officials and the steps the club have taken to avoid a repeat incident in the future.
