The English premier league football club Wolverhampton Wanderers have been given a suspended 55-thousand dollar fine for fielding a weakened team against Manchester United last December.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes to the team that had beaten Tottenham Hotspur three days earlier and, after a 3-0 loss at Old Trafford, recalled nine of them for the next game against Burnley, which they won 2-0.
Wolves were surprised to be charged, and their chief executive Jez Moxey says the ruling could lead to a wider discussion regarding the issue of squad rotation.
