CRYSTAL Palace boss Alan Pardew says the club will fine midfielder Chung-Yong Lee for criticising the manager in a recent interview.

Former Wanderer Lee hit out at Pardew for being "too hot-tempered in matches", claiming the former Palace midfielder "forgets how many substitutes are left".

Pardew insisted Lee's assertions were factually incorrect but also claimed there is no rift with the 27-year-old from South Korea.

"I have dealt with it because he's incorrect on a couple of points there about team selection and stuff like that," said Pardew.

"He's made an error. He said it got lost in translation, that can happen and I've had it before.

"But some of it isn't lost in translation, though, and he'll get a fine for that.

"You can't criticise things that didn't happen. One of the key points in there didn't occur.

"So that's an internal process the other players will have to learn from.

"Criticise the manager, other players or staff at this football club: do it in house, knock on the door, come and see me, we'll sort it out no problem.

"It was a mistake on his part and he'll be punished for that in terms of a fine."
