Derby manager Paul Jewell has fined walkabout defender Tyrone Mears six weeks’ wages following his controversial move to Marseille.

Mears has received a legal letter from Derby demanding £75,000 after the Championship club claimed he flew to the south of France for a two-day trial without permission, as revealed in Sportsmail last month.

Although the player was dragged back to England by an irate Jewell, he eventually joined Marseille on a year-long loan.

Jewell wanted to sack Mears for gross misconduct during lengthy talks with the PFA in Manchester.

Mick McGuire, the PFA deputy chief executive, said: ‘Derby are entitled to fine him that amount because he is still on a Premier League contract. We don’t know if he will appeal.’

Mears started 25 Premier League matches for Derby last season as they were relegated from the top flight.
