The Football Association has filed an appeal against the verdict that only fined Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool for his altercation with the referee during his team’s game against Manchester City last month.
The German avoided a touchline suspension but was fined £30,000 on October 27 by an impartial regulatory body for his behavior toward referees during the game on October 16.
The FA has read the written justifications of the panel and is rumored to believe that the sanction given was too light, with many people being “dumbfounded” that Klopp has spared further sanctions.
The decision to just punish Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool has been challenged by the FA. When assistant referee Gary Beswick refused to award his team a free kick after Bernardo Silva seemed to drag down Mo Salah, Klopp became agitated and began shouting in Beswick’s ear as the game went on. It is known that the FA believes top-tier managers should set a good example for the grassroots game in terms of appropriate conduct.
