One, maybe two game ban and fine for Kompany

Fined £10,000 and received a two match touchline ban following his outburst at Chelsea. One of the two match ban to be suspended until the end of the year.

Manager receives fine & touchline bans

Burnley FC’s Vincent Kompany has been fined £10,000 and suspended from the touchline for two matches following misconduct at their Premier League game against Chelsea FC on Saturday 30 March. One match is to be served immediately and one match suspended until 31 December 2024.

The manager admitted that his language and/or behaviour in the 40th minute of the fixture was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned the integrity of a match official.

An independent Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a subsequent hearing.



Does that mean effectively it’s a 1 match ban as long as he behaves up until Christmas?

One to be served now and one game ban suspended. So he should only miss Brighton

I've updated the first post since to add that the second game is suspended

Not as insulting as the penalty and sending off.....

He can sit right behind the dugout against Brighton.

If they did their job properly they’d also give the referee in that game a ban and a fine for improper conduct.

I would like an Independent Regulatory Commission to now look into the level of competence of the match officials from that day

"Don't behave so poorly you get banned" still a bit further along the learning curve, I guess.

Wonder if his £10k fine goes towards paying the refs wages who made the mistake in the first place.
