The ban will commence with immediate effect therefore the Israeli manager will watch West Ham\u2019s trip to Bolton Wanderers and their home game against Aston Villa from the stands.<\/p>\n<p>The ban relates to comments made by Grant in the aftermath of his team\u2019s loss against Stoke in which he insinuated referee, Mike Jones, had favoured Stoke after allowing a fortunate West Ham equaliser earlier in the game.<\/p>\n<p>He said at the time: &#8220;I think maybe this is the reason the referee started the second half very strange. Until they scored the second goal he gave fouls, a penalty, everything for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a penalty for us at the end which he didn&#8217;t give. What happened with Tomkins was more bushido the Japanese code of conduct for samurai warriors. Maybe he felt a little bit guilty. I think it was the effect of the first goal for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grant had initially denied the charges brought against him and requested a personal hearing but the Independent Regulatory Commission could not found any reason not to find Grant guilty.<\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_123.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/04\/04\/2426142\/west-ham-united-manager-avram-grant-suspended-and-fined-by\" title=\"West Ham United manager Avram Grant suspended and fined by the FA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham United manager Avram Grant suspended and fined by the FA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Mark Fordham 4 Apr 2011 17:39:00 EPL ;
