Irrespective of the police investigation I imagine he will face another ban from football.

If the police do find no case to answer how can the FA take any action and if they do would it be justified.
Probably due to the fact that the Barnsley manager had blood coming from the injuries he received in the tunnel area. There is also a different level of proof between criminal and FA proceedings.
The only certainty is that the FA will take no action until the Police or the Courts have concluded their involvement in the incident

Satisfying grounds for police action might be a higher bar than a misconduct charge by the FA (sort of criminal v civil law issue with the burden of proof required being lower in the latter).

Surely Monday Fleetwood will, at least, say he will not manage the team until matters resolved.

Perhaps if HUGHTON had lumped one on Eddie yesterday it might have sparked a response from the team ? Nothing wrong with showing a bit of passion in the dug out
