Blackpool fined £30,000 for fielding ineligible player

Blackpool have been hit with a £30,000 fine for fielding an ineligible player at the start of the season.

The Championship strugglers were punished by an independent Football Disciplinary Commission after fielding Donervon Daniels against Millwall on August 30.

Daniels, who had been on loan at the club from West Bromwich Albion, played the full 90 minutes as the Seasiders were beaten 2-1 at The Den.

Half of the fine has been suspended, while Blackpool have also been ordered to pay the costs of the hearing and those of The Football League.
