Greg Dyke tells Tony Pulis: Your fines go into game
FA Chairman Greg Dyke has laughed off questions from Albion boss Tony Pulis about the destination of his £8,000 fine, saying it goes towards grassroots projects.
Pulis was fined and charged with improper conduct for confronting referee Anthony Taylor in the tunnel after Albion's last home game with Leicester.
After accepting the charge, he demanded Dyke tell him where his money was going.
Speaking to the Express & Star, Dyke said Pulis' money was pumped back into the game at the lowest level.
"It's exactly what happens, it goes into the FA funds and we distribute to the grassroots," he said.
"I certainly don't get a better life because of Tony Pulis' £8,000. You can tell him that from me."
Pulis said he wanted the proceeds of his fine to go to the Donna Louise Children's Hospice in Stoke.
Dyke said the Albion boss was probably wealthy enough to contribute to the hospice himself.
"I think Mr Pulis has got enough money to do both," he said.
