Ex-Sunderland manager David Moyes was yesterday fined &pound;30,000 for suggesting to a female reporter in March she might "get a slap", England's Football Association announced.
Moyes, 54, made the remark, for which he apologised, to BBC reporter Vicki Sparks following Sunderland's 0-0 draw with Burnley in the Premier League on March 18.

The FA said Moyes' remarks were "improper and/or threatening and/or brought the game into disrepute". Moyes was unhappy with one of Sparks' questions and said to her: "You were just getting a wee bit naughty at the end there, so just watch yourself. You still might get a slap, even though you're a woman."
