Wolves' FA charges in 2023: What were they for?
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs is facing FA disciplinary action following last weekend’s Premier League draw with Newcastle United.
Hobbs has been charged with misconduct after allegedly directing abusive language towards a match official in the tunnel following Wolves’ 2-2 draw with the Magpies last Saturday.
The sporting director has until Monday (NOV 6) to respond to the charge.
It is the latest in a number of disciplinary run-ins for Wolves, who have been fined more than £200,000 in 2023 in relation to FA charges.
Nottingham Forest - January 2023
Wolves were fined £45,000 by the FA following a brawl with Nottingham Forest during their Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Wolves were deemed to bear ‘significantly higher responsibility’ in the clash following a penalty shootout which saw Forrest progress.
Former Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White was at the heart of the scuffle following celebrations towards his former club. Julen Lopetegui was deemed ‘unprofessional’ by the FA commission as his actions attempting to approach Gibbs-White were labelled a ‘flashpoint’.
Matheus Cunha was also blamed for ‘using aggression’ as tempers boiled.
