Manchester City's manager Mark Hughes plans on fighting the improper conduct charge handed down to Emmanuel Adebayor by the Football Association.
Along with the improper conduct charge, Adebayor was handed a three-match ban for intentionally trying to stomp Arsenal's Robin Van Persie.
I know that City is doing this to try and protect one of their best players. But I must say that Adebayor's child-like actions need punishing. What he did on that field last Saturday made him seem like a petulant, overpaid brat.
City fans say that he was just acting out of emotion, that it was a split-second outburst in the heat of the moment. During his 80-plus yard sprint to the Arsenal fans, don't you think that he had adequate time to decide what actions to take? Give me a break people.
I am glad that the FA handed down such a harsh penalty. But his improper conduct charge must stand. If the FA were to overturn this, this would be a straight shot to the belly of their credibility. An example needs to be made out of "Moneybayor" to show the rest of the league such deliberate actions have no place in the game.
