Danny Macklin left his position at AFC Wimbledon on 8 September

The Football Association has charged former AFC Wimbledon managing director Danny Macklin with misconduct.

The charge relates to an allegation that he made abusive and sexist comments about a female colleague.

An FA statement added: "It's further alleged (the charge) constitutes an 'aggravated breach' as the language included a reference - whether express or implied - to gender."

Macklin has until 6 December to provide a response.

According to The Times, Macklin, who also held posts at Leyton Orient, Southend United and Essex County Cricket Club, was recorded in his office making the remarks.

AFC Wimbledon said at the time that the club acted to "promptly resolve" the incident, with Macklin leaving his role at the League Two club on 8 September.
