Newcastle United expressed their "disappointment" Tuesday with both the FA and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan after the governing body said Callum McManaman would escape disciplinary action over his tackle on Magpies' full-back Massadio Haidara.
Newcastle United's Massadio Haidara is stretchered off the pitch after being injured in a tackle by Wigan Athletic's Callum McManaman at The DW Stadium in Wigan, on March 17, 2013.
