English clubs have racked up £1million in fines for player, manager and official misbehaviour so far this season, damming new findings have revealed.
The shameful total passed the milestone after Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was hit with a £10,000 fine for losing his temper at referee Darren England in March.
It marks the second season in a row in which poor behaviour in the country's top four divisions has resulted in fines totalling over the seven-figure mark.
The Premier League is responsible for the bulk of that figure. Indeed, the fines meted out to players and staff, when added together, amounts to over £850,000.
£665,000 of the overall top-flight total was for player misconduct while £193,500 was shelled out after the FA took action against managers and coaches.
