Rival managers weigh up charges
Arsene Wenger and Alan Pardew must decide whether to request personal hearings after being charged with improper conduct by the Football Association in the wake of their bust-up at Upton Park.
The two bosses had to be separated after Marlon Harewood’s late winner for the home side on Sunday following celebrations by the West Ham coach in the technical area.
Frenchman Wenger refused to shake his rival’s hand at the end of the match and left without speaking to the press.
Pardew issued an apology immediately.
The FA, meanwhile, yesterday decided each man has a case to answer.
“West Ham United manager Alan Pardew and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger have both been charged with improper conduct,” a statement read.
