LONDON – Mike Newell, manager of English second division club Luton Town, has been charged with improper conduct by the FA after making sexist comments about a lineswoman last month.

Now he faces punishment by the FA.”Newell has been charged with improper conduct to the extent that his comments related to assistant referee Amy Rayner personally, and with failing to act in the best interests of the game to the extent that his comments were made about the role of women match officials in football generally,” an FA statement said on Wednesday.host status.SupersoccerNow he faces punishment by the FA.”Newell has been charged with improper conduct to the extent that his comments related to assistant referee Amy Rayner personally, and with failing to act in the best interests of the game to the extent that his comments were made about the role of women match officials in football generally,” an FA statement said on Wednesday.host status.Supersoccer
