Port Vale striker Tom Pope faces third FA charge over tweets
Port Vale forward Tom Pope has been charged for a third time by the FA for his activity on the social media platform Twitter.
Pope has already served two bans this season after been found guilty by the FA of offensive posts on the platform.
According to the BBC, Pope is charged by the FA for writing an allegedly anti-Semitic social media post after their FA Cup tie against Manchester City.
He was asked by a fan on Twitter to predict the outcome in a World War Three scenario.
The 34-year-old replied and finished a since-deleted tweet by saying: “the Rothchilds are crowned champions of every bank on the planet – the end”.
If the charge is proven Pope can expect to receive a third suspension of the season.
