Matt Hobbs: Wolves sporting director given two-match ban and fined £7,000 by FA
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs has been given a two-match stadium ban and fined £7,000 for misconduct by the Football Association.
Hobbs’ charge related to an incident following the 2-1 defeat by Manchester City on Sunday, 20 October.
Wolves were unhappy that John Stones’ injury-time winner was allowed to stand, with the defender’s header awarded by referee Chris Kavanagh despite initially being disallowed because Bernardo Silva was standing in an offside position.
Hobbs admitted the FA charge, which alleged he had acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive words towards the match official/s around the tunnel area after the final whistle.
It is the second time in less than a year Hobbs has been found guilty of misconduct.
In November 2023 the 44-year-old was given a one-game stadium suspension and ordered to pay £4,000 after admitting using improper and/or abusive and/or insulting language towards a match official after Newcastle were awarded a controversial penalty in a 2-2 draw at Molineux.
