Ben Thatcher has been hit with the maximum fine possible from Manchester City for his horrific challenge on Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes.
The 30-year-old full-back was given a six-match ban by his club and was fined six weeks' wages, two of which were suspended in each case.
"Two weeks is the norm but it can be up to six weeks under special circumstances," PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said. "If the offence is serious enough that termination of contract could be considered, a six-week fine is possible."
