Former United manager David Moyes has expressed his deep regrets for publicly threatening to slap a female reporter, but does not believe his job will be affected.
The manager in an interview with the reporter, was asked if he was under more pressure with club chairman Ellis Short, in the stands during his game against Burnley. Moyes replied: “You were just getting a wee bit naughty at the end there, so just watch yourself. You still might get a slap even though you’re a woman.”
This is disgraceful. David Moyes cannot get away with these sexist threats – the @FA must take action immediately. http://pic.twitter.com/kcMSQFmI7g

The Scottish manager has since apologized to the BBC reporter after Shadow Sport minister Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, called for the FA to take actions concerning the threat. “In the heat of the moment, I made a mistake in my comment to a BBC reporter which I profoundly regret. I was disappointed with myself for it”, he said at a press conference on Monday. He added: “I subsequently phoned the reporter and apologised, which she accepted. It’s not my character, it’s not my type, as most people know.” The BBC reports that Moyes and Sparks had spoken since and that the matter was already resolved.
