Hull City manager Phil Brown fined £2,500 for touchline skirmish

Phil Brown, the outspoken Hull City manager, has been fined £2,500 and warned as to future conduct by the FA after admitting a charge of improper conduct.
The charge relates to an incident that took place at St James' Park on January 14, when Brown and Joe Kinnear, the Newcastle manager, were involved in a touchline row during the FA Cup third-round match.
The pair were sent to the stands by referee Phil Dowd, with the matter then taken up by the FA's disciplinary department. Brown admitted the charge and requested a personal hearing, but has escaped a touchline ban.
"At a regulatory commission hearing today, Hull City manager Phil Brown was warned as to future conduct and fined £2,500," a statement from the FA read. "Brown admitted a charge of improper conduct relating to a touchline confrontation involving himself and Joe Kinnear during an FA Cup match at St James' Park on 14 January."
Kinnear is currently recovering from heart surgery, and his hearing has been scheduled for a later date.
