Football Association has banned agent Saif Rubie for six weeks and fined him £10,000 for “improper” comments he made on
Twitter relating to former
Manchester City winger Adam Johnson and the England women’s football team.
Rubie, who accused
Liverpool of “mentally bullying” his client Bobby Duncan before the England youth forward’s move to Fiorentina in September, has been suspended from all intermediary activities” until January 15th after being found guilty of two breaches of the FA’s rule E3 by an independent regulatory commission. He will also have to attend an FA education programme for improper use of social media within four months, with failure to do so leading to a potential further ban.
