Reminds me of something I've often wondered about.
Why do pretty much all rugby coaches watch games from the stands, and pretty much all football coaches from the dugouts? I know Steve McLaren likes to watch a half from the stands sometimes, but he's in a tiny minority.

Give over: many of their fans are convinced the FA have deliberately timed this hearing to ensure he misses the Newcastle game :lolol:
I believe the manager is allowed in the dressing room before the match and at half time in these circumstances, so really, it shouldn't make all that much...
