Brighton have threatened to take action against the League Managers' Association over the dispute with Gus Poyet. The suspended manager was defended by the LMA after he failed to attend a disciplinary hearing at the club on Monday.

The LMA's comments were "neither fair nor accurate", claimed a Brighton statement, which said the club reserved the right to consider further, undefined, action.
