Queens Park Rangers' assistant manager Richard Hill edged closer to the sack as the club was given a £20,000 fine for their part in the brawl which marred their friendly against the China Olympic team in February.Hill, photographed punching China's Jiang Ning in the face during the 30-man fight, was found guilty of violent conduct by an FA disciplinary hearing and banned from football for three months.
The coach, already suspended by the club since the flare-up, has now been barred from "all football and football management" until Sept 30 by the FA.
