An
FA spokesman said on Monday that the automatic fine would be
implemented because six players received a yellow card in the Premier
League game. One of them, Nemanja Matic, was sent off, making seven cautions in all.
That incident upset coach Silvino Louro and manager Jose Mourinho who were both sent to the stands.
The
FA await referee Jon Moss' report before deciding on further punishment
but it would not necessarily trigger the suspended stadium ban that
Mourinho faces after criticising another official following Chelsea's
home defeat by Southampton this month.
The
Premier League will also write to Chelsea about a possible breach of
the regulation that clubs must fulfil media obligations after a game.
Neither Mourinho nor any of his coaches attended the traditional post-match news conference at West Ham.
The normal sanction is a warning or a fine although the Premier League said that is often not made public.
Chelsea have no planned news conference before Tuesday's League Cup match at Stoke City.
