ENGLISH soccer's disciplinary procedures are not fit for purpose, Newcastle United managing director Derek Llambias said on Tuesday.
Llambias was incensed after the Football Association (FA) said it would not be taking retrospective action against Wigan Athletic's Callum McManaman following his knee-high tackle on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara on Sunday.
France under-21 international Haidara had to be carried off on a stretcher during the first half of Newcastle's 1-2 defeat at Wigan and is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
"We are disappointed to learn that the FA is not going to charge the Wigan player," Llambias said.
