The Irons have been hit with a £50,000 fine and warned over their future conduct following the reaction of players to Mark Noble’s sending off at Liverpool.
Whilst the captain’s red card was overturned the club has been hit with a fine of nearly double what they expected for the behaviour of the players
A statement from the Fa this evening (Fri) reads:”Following an independent regulatory commission hearing, West Ham have been fined £50,000 and warned as to their future conduct after an FA player misconduct charge brought against the club was found proven.
“It was alleged that in or around the 78th minute of the game against Liverpool on 29 August 2015, West Ham failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
“The club had admitted the charge and submitted a plea for mitigation.”
