FA charge agent Stapleton

The Football Association have charged agent Sam Stapleton with improper conduct over the transfer of Hungarian Gabor Gyepes to Coca-Cola Championship side Wolves.

The Hungarian moved to Molineux on loan from Ferencvaros in July 2005.

A statement from the FA read: “Players’ agent Sam Stapleton has been charged with improper conduct in relation to a loan deal involving the player Gabor Gyepes to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2005.

“The charge stems from an invoice issued by Stapleton, on which he provided false bank details.

He has until February 22 to respond.

“Stapleton pleaded guilty to the criminal offence of false accounting before the Central Hertfordshire Magistrate’s Court in October 2006. The FA’s case relies on the same facts.”
