Two-match ban for Grant

West Ham manager Avram Grant has been handed a two-match touchline ban and fined £6,000 (€6,800) for comments made about match official Mike Jones, the Football Association has confirmed.

An Independent Regulatory Commission found the former Chelsea and Portsmouth boss guilty of improper conduct relating to comments made to the media in the aftermath of the Hammers’ 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Stoke on March 13.
