HEREFORD United has been charged with misconduct for allegedly breaching the FA's owners' and directors' (ODT) test.

The FA say that it's alleged that the club has breached regulation 3.1.1 for not submitting a duly completed and signed ODT declaration in respect to Alan McCarthy, United's majority shareholder.

"Mr McCarthy has been charged with misconduct under FA Rule E.1(b) and Regulation 4.3 of the ODT Regulations," reads an FA statement.

"It is alleged that Mr McCarthy has breached Regulation 3.1.3 of the ODT regulations in that he has acted as an officer of Hereford United without written confirmation from The FA that he may do so.

"Both the club and Mr McCarthy have until November 3 to respond to the charges."

Meanwhile, Hereford United have confirmed that club chairman Andy Lonsdale has passed the ODT test.
