Newcastle United boss banned for seven games



Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has been handed a seven-game ban for his headbutt on Hull's David Meyler, a Premier League record for a manager. 

Pardew clashed with the Republic of Ireland midfielder in the 72nd minute of his side's 4-1 win on 1 March.

An independent Football Association commission ruled the first three matches imposed are a stadium ban with the remaining four a touchline ban.

 Pardew, 52, was also fined £60,000 and warned as to his future conduct.  It is the first stadium ban for a Premier League manager.
