West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has been fined £8,000 ($12,529) for remarks he made alleging bias following the FA Cup third round replay defeat at Old Trafford last month. After the Hammers lost the match 1-0 on January 16, the 58-year-old Allardyce was charged for a breach of the Football Association's Rule E3, suggesting he'd questioned the integrity of officials or implied they were motivated by bias. Allardyce was angry that while United were awarded a penalty for handball, the Hammers were denied one for what he thought was a similar incident.
