Coleman Pleased With Outcome

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that he was pleased with the outcome of his FA charge which saw him fined for improper conduct and or/ bringing the game into disrepute following comments made by him about referee Steve Bennett after City's FA Cup exit to Chelsea.

Coleman was given a £2,500 fine of which £2,000 was suspended until the end of the next season as long as there are no more breaches by him.

Speaking to the CT, Coleman said: "I am very pleased with the outcome. I have to thank Ian Smith and John Duncan from the League Managers Association who helped me with the case and I have to say that I thought the FA were extremely fair and listened to everything I had to say."
