West Brom boss Slaven Bilic accepts FA fine but says 'I have done nothing wrong'

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic says he has "done nothing wrong" despite accepting an £8,000 fine from the Football Association for improper conduct.

The Croatian was shown a red card by referee Mike Dean after entering the pitch at half-time during Saturday's 5-2 defeat at Everton.

"I spoke to the people from the FA and to the club and I got a fine, which I'm not happy about," said Bilic.

"The easiest way to get it out of the way, and from the head, is to pay it."

Bilic, 52, was reacting to Kieran Gibbs' first-half dismissal after the defender pushed Everton's James Rodriguez in the face.
