David Moyes charged over '˜slap' comment to female reporter


The Sunderland manager was heard telling BBC reporter Vicki Sparks she might “get a slap”.
Moyes, 54, has expressed “deep regret” over the incident.
The comment came after an interview in which he was asked by Sparks if the presence of Sunderland’s owner Ellis Short at the match put extra pressure on him.
