Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger
has denied a charge of improper conduct and/or bringing the game
into disrepute.
The charge relates to comments Wenger made about one of the
assistant referees after the carling Cup final defeat to Chelsea
last month.
Wenger was unhappy with the assistant referee after he consulted
referee Howard Webb before sending off striker Emmanuel
Adebayor.
The Frenchman was asked to explain his claim "the whole system is
not honest", in reference to the disciplinary procedures of the FA,
and suggestions the assistant referee "lied" in his report over the
mass brawl which marred the final.
Wenger has requested a personal hearing which will be scheduled in
due course.
