PUNISHMENT: Coventry City slammed with hefty fine for chaotic half-time brawl against Sheffield United

Coventry was fined £10,000 and Sheffield United £80,000 for a brawl during halftime of their November Sky Bet Championship game.

Coventry City and Sheffield United were fined £10,000 and £80,000, respectively, for a brawl

during halftime of their November Sky Bet Championship match.

Anel Ahmedhodzic, a Blades defender, was sent off just before halftime at the CBS Arena for

reportedly grabbing Coventry’s Norman Bassette by the throat and shoving him to the ground after

the forward made a remark. As a result, during the break, there was what the FA called a “mass confrontation” between players and personnel from both teams.

The Football Association said: “The FA alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or technical area staff did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the tunnel area at

half time.”

“Coventry City and Sheffield United both acknowledged and refuted the claims against them.

Following a hearing, an impartial Regulatory Commission determined that the claim against Coventry City was true and fined the clubs accordingly.
