Sir Alex Ferguson will not find out until tomorrow at the earliest whether he is to be charged by the Football Association.
The Manchester United manager seems almost certain to face some sort of disciplinary action following his four-letter tirade at fourth official Jeff Winter during Saturday's 2-1 win at Newcastle.
However, because of the Bank Holiday, the FA will not get round to reading referee Uriah Rennie's report on the incident until tomorrow, after which they must decide whether to launch an official inquiry.
Ferguson has refused to apologise for the incident, which followed a tackle by Andy O'Brien on Ryan Giggs which the Scotsman felt merited a red card.
However, he has admitted that he will have to curb such excesses in future.
"I am aware that the fourth official has been given stricter guidelines this season so I suppose I will have to curb my behaviour in future," he said.
