NEIL Lennon has been fined £3,500 by the FA and warned as to his future conduct after he admitted a charge of misconduct in relation to media comments.
The Bolton Wanderers manager accepted he had breached FA Rule E3 in that his post-match remarks following the Queens Park Rangers game on 3 October 2015, alleged and/or implied bias on the part of the match official, and/or brought the game into disrepute.
Lennon criticised referee Darren Drysdale after the 4-3 defeat to the Hoops at Loftus Road.
The Northern Irishman claimed the Lincolnshire official's performance was a "disgrace, and absolute disgrace,” he said after the final whistle.
“I have not seen a more biased performance from a referee in a long, long time. He gave QPR everything he possibly could."
