Newcastle boss pleads guilty following push on Kirkup
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew had admitted a Football Association misconduct charge.
The Magpies manager was charged after pushing assistant referee Peter Kirkup during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Tottenham.
Pardew had until 4pm on Wednesday afternoon to respond to the FA and had already indicated that he would accept whatever the FA decided.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Europa League play-off first leg clash with Atromitos in Greece on Thursday, Pardew said: "We have to do the procedure that has to take place and we are following that through.
"We are doing a letter on my call on what I thought happened at the weekend.
"But we have pleaded guilty and we will go to see the FA and see what punishment is going to come to fruition."
