Montano facing possible club disciplinary action

Cristian Montano: likely to face club action

ATHLETIC director Barry Owen says the club may soon take disciplinary action against Cristian Montano.

The winger, who is out of contract next summer, has already been suspended without pay after a secret video appeared to show him apologising for failing to get booked in the first half against Wolves in October. Montano has since been arrested and bailed until April next year, with five other suspects.

“While we didn’t want to pre-judge an investigation, we had to make a decision based on whether there was gross misconduct that may lead to a disciplinary inquiry anyway,” Owen said. Club solicitors have approved the move.
