The club announced the fine on their website, following the touchline altercation against Hull City's David Meyler at the KC Stadium
Newcastle United have fined manager Alan
Pardew £100,000 and given him a formal warning after he appeared to headbutt Hull City's David Meyler.
The club issued a statement on their
website, saying that they were "disappointed" with their manager's
actions, describing the 52-year-old's behaviour as "unacceptable".
The Magpies have confirmed that
Pardew has accepted both the warning and the fine and say that they consider
the matter to be closed and will be making no further comment, although it is
highly likely that the FA will investigate the matter.
The statement on Newcastle's official website reads:
"Newcastle United are disappointed with the actions of its manager
Alan Pardew this afternoon (Saturday, 1st March).
"His behaviour was unacceptable and is not the behaviour we expect
from the manager of Newcastle United.
"It is most disappointing that this incident has taken the focus away
from what was a fantastic performance by the team and an excellent result away
from home which leaves the club in eighth place in the Barclays Premier League.
"Sadly, the headlines tomorrow will not be focused on the result or
the efforts of the players, but instead on the actions of our manager.
"Alan unreservedly apologised immediately following the game to the
player, to Hull City Football Club and its fans, and to the fans of Newcastle
United.
"We have held discussions this evening with Alan who has offered his
sincere apologies to the Club and it is clear he deeply regrets his actions.
Alan has accepted a formal warning from the Club in relation to his behaviour
today and also a Club fine of £100,000.
"The Club is now drawing a line under this matter and will be making
no further comment."
