Robert fined again by Magpies

Departing Newcastle winger Laurent Robert has been fined two weeks’ wages for the second time in 24 hours after a fresh attack on manager Graeme Souness.

The 30-year-old Frenchman, who was hit with a similar penalty yesterday for a breach of club discipline following a newspaper broadside aimed at the Scot, received a second dose today over claims that England midfielder Jermaine Jenas is ready to quit Tyneside.
