The Football Association has told the Press Association that it is constantly reviewing disciplinary processes after a report that it is considering appointing an external agency to handle all misconduct charges.
The Times reported on Friday that the FA is considering disbanding the three-man independent regulatory commission, which currently rules on such issues, as part of an overall review of how it handles discipline.
The validity of the commission has been questioned with the overwhelming majority of misconduct charges being upheld.
Recently, Stoke manager Mark Hughes decided not to contest an improper conduct charge after he was sent to the stands during his side's 4-0 loss at home to Tottenham on September 10.
He said: "I didn't think I'd win [an appeal]. I think the FA has something like a 98 percent strike rate. I would rather give the money to my grandchildren.''
From the start of the 2013-14 season, the FA broadened its scope to punish foul play retrospectively and act on incidents which the match officials were not in a position to "fully assess'' what happened.
Two years ago, a fast-track system was introduced, which meant charges relating to incidents which happened off the pitch would be heard by an independent regulatory commission within three days.
Sergio Aguero was retrospectively banned for three games earlier this month, after a "brutal" elbow on Winston Reid "clearly endangered the safety" of the West Ham defender, according to a report by the FA's independent commission.
