Neil Warnock Handed £20,000 Fine by FA for Comments Made After Chelsea Defeat in March

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has been handed a £20,000 fine by the FA for the controversial comments he made in the wake of the club's 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea back in March.

Warnock requested a personal hearing after he was charged for his public outbursts in multiple interviews following the game, with a Football Association statement confirming all the charges against the 70-year-old were upheld at the hearing.

The Bluebirds boss labelled Premier League referees 'the worst' after seeing his side concede a 84th-minute equaliser from Cesar Azpilicueta, despite the defender scoring from a clearly offside position.
