  Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has been handed a seven-game ban for his headbutt on Hull's David Meyler, a Premier League record for a manager.Pardew clashed with the Republic of Ireland midfielder in the 72nd minute of his side's 4-1 win on 1 March.
  
  An independent Football Association commission ruled the first three matches imposed are a stadium ban with the remaining four a touchline ban.Pardew, 52, was also fined £60,000 and warned as to his future conduct.
  
  It is the first stadium ban for a Premier League manager.
  
  Pardew told the club's website: "As I have made clear, I deeply regret the incident and again wholeheartedly apologise to all parties for my conduct, which I understand was not acceptable. I will accept the punishment handed down by the FA. My focus now turns to preparing the team for this weekend's game against Fulham and finishing the season as strongly as possible."
  
  Pardew was fined £100,000 by his club hours after the incident and given a formal warning.

  So what do you guys think? Punishment justifies his actions or was it too soft (or too lenient lol)?

  Suppose they needed to make an example of him, but the incident itself was handbags really.
  
  Not the first time he's been a dick on the touchline though so I reckon the punishment is probably about right.
  
  Just as well they've got nothing to play for though eh? Imagine they were in a relegation scrap with no manager? Might have had to bring Kinnear back!

  Pardew deserved it! God knows what he was thinking. Although Meylers celebration on the weekend was quality!

  Woaaah when did this happen?. This is the first time I am hearing about this lol.
  
  As a manager I dont think he is that bad, there are some people saying he is probably the best british manager currently around, which is a bit absurd but come to think of it, there are not that many good british managers in the top flight lol

  Jose Fonte's missus when he was at Southampton.
  
  Think there was rumours flying about at west ham too, not sure who though.

  i think what pardew did was wrong and i think he is very lucky to still have a job so i think its only right they made an example of him to show that it will now be accepted

  There were rumours that Newcastle were going to use this oppurtunity to sack him as they previously couldnt due to his ridiculous contract. They could have just said Pardew breached his contract as a result of his actions etc.

  Totally wrong in what he did despite a heat of the moment thing. At least i suppose it showed some passion but you can't go 'head butting ' oponent teams players during a game. What was he thinking ?! ban probably about right I reckon - compared to a certain Liverpool strikers ban though for taking a nibble from an opposing player ??
