Wolves have been handed a £25,000 suspended fine for fielding a weakened team in their Premier League clash at Manchester United.

Manager Mick McCarthy caused controversy when he changed all 10 outfield players for the showdown at Old Trafford on 15th December.

McCarthy elected to rest the side who had secured an impressive 1-0 victory over Tottenham just four days earlier with a view to keeping them fresh for the upcoming meeting with relegation rivals Burnley.

The Molineux side slipped to a 3-0 defeat against the Premier League champions, with the visiting fans venting their displeasure at the team selection.

But McCarthy will have felt his policy was vindicated when the Midlands club secured an important 2-0 home success against the Clarets in the following fixture.

However, the Premier League Board felt that action was necessary and have imposed the £25,000 suspended punishment. (Sky Sports)

Who knows where that fine money will end up but in my opinion that money should be split evenly between every Wolves fan who traveled to watch their second string against Manchester United. If the Premier League had any sense they would do just that rather than just line their own pockets.

I still am not sure why Mick McCarthy opted to play such a weakened side, I know some would point out that the club went on to win their next fixture but its worth remembering that Wolves had also won their previous two matches prior to the Old Trafford clash so they would have buoyed up for the game and who knows perhaps they could have gotten a surprise result against the Premier League champions. If I was a Wanderers fan and I heard the team sheet announced over the tannoy on that evening I would have been mighty displeased.
