West Ham boss Avram Grant has denied an FA charge of improper conduct. The charge relates to comments made about referee Mike Jones following the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday, March 13.
A personal hearing will be scheduled at a date no later than April 7.
Following the 2-1 defeat, Grant was unhappy with Jones' handling of the second half, which began with the home side being awarded a penalty just 13 seconds after the restart.
