"The Premier League Board has issued Wolverhampton Wanderers FC with a suspended £25,000 fine after deciding that the team fielded in their League fixture against Manchester United on 15 December 2009 was not full strength and therefore in breach of Rule E.20."
LOL. hope McCarthy learned something.

It took them this long to work that out??? It should be more than £25,000 if you ask me. Surly putting out a weakened team like he did should count as cheating is some way.

They played a weakened team because they fancied the game against Sunderland the week after, which they lost 5-2 and didnt win till another 8 games had passed. Serves them fucking right, that should be punishment enough, but glad the FA has acted.
Only wish it would have been a bit more of a punishment - £25k, fuck me, my regulator could have fined me that and it wouldnt have crippled me

Am I the only one who's against this?
They're all professionals, he should be able to put out whatever side he wants. If they'd have won this wouldn't have happened!

I thought they beat Burnley 2-0 straight after (and therefore validated the selection?)

Yes and no. Its a poor example, but imagine a young Wolves fan who'd saved the money to travel and their watch team play at one of the biggest stadiums in the country, only to find out that two thirds of his favourite players weren't even in the squad. Or, better yet, a foreign fan who paid to do the very same.
Squad rotation is one thing, but throwing the game as he did makes a mockery of both the league and the fans.

Apologies, I was wrong. Was going off the the cup game. Suppose its karma that they havent won since they beat Burnley

It bit of a rubbish decision. I mean if there is champions league semi final and united sends out youngsters in league game against relegated threatened side, there is nothing said it just they resting them for a big game.. I honestly can't see how FA can punish one team and then big club does it and nothing happens

So fielding a team of kids in the Cup is OK, but this isn't? Obvious double standards are obvious.

I agree with this But I dont agree with what Wolves did you cant have 1 law for them and another for the rest , Nothing happened to Manure when they did it against Hull last season ,I know they won But they fielded a weakend team because of the Chumps league non the less.

£25k - not enough - suspended?? - that just means it is OK to do that against the scum but not against other teams

I think it is the right decision. Are we meant accept yet another advantage for the 'Big Four' where struggling sides simply 'write off' games against them and make it even easier for them?
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.
