This all on the back of John Henrys last visit where it is reported a bollocking was delivered to management over the general running of the club and our handling of the Suarez affair.
I really dont think many people have grasped the seriousness of this situation and in particular during a period where we have just signed up new sponsors and are looking for further investment to assist with the stadium issue and improve the team.
We can back Suarez until the cows come home but I dont think anyone will be singing his name quite so loudly when sponsorship contracts start being ripped up and we have to sell players to make ends meet.
Seriousness of what situation mate?
I guess he is referring to the fact that we have come out of this looking like a thoroughly incompetent racist organisation that can see no wrong in Suarez's behaviour. That is the reality whether we like it or not. Just take a look on NewsNow, the Suarez Evra debacle is worldwide news and we look like the non caring offenders.
We bravely decided to defend the indefensible and Kenny and Suarez both have my admiration for that. Luis admitted to using some language that isn't acceptable in a country where beating up your Granny is almost regarded as a lesser offence than racial abuse. Ever since Suarez naively admitted to inadvertently abusing Evra we were on a hiding to nothing. Even if he had been found not guilty of racial abuse he would still have had a major problem with the media and opposing fans. If by some strange reason Terry is found innocent how do you think the Kop will respond?
I'm afraid that whilst there were no witnesses Suarez said enough to put the nails in his own coffin. His defence was never taken seriously. If he has a head on crash for driving on the wrong side of the road in this country will he use the excuse that we drive on the right in Uruguay? I just hope he has learned from his extremely costly mistake. The club also need to ensure that all players are aware of what they can and cannot say on the pitch.

What's your beef with the owners igor? I don't think they have done anything wrong. Do you ever hear anything from the glazers?

No, why should he?
His crime for me was telling Kenny he was going to shake the other pr!cks hand and then didn't. In that he let Kenny down.
As far as Evra is concerned, I cannot put into words the contempt I have for that pr!ck. I sympathise with Suarez here, how can you shake the hand of a man who got you banned for 8 games, dragged your name through the mud, and has managed to drag your club down through unbelievable depths through the "racist" card that he played. And played at a club that has the FA in their pocket.
Suarez was wrong on one account, he let Kenny down, that is all.

i thought the f.a said that they are not taking any action over what happened the weekend.
the f.a themselves want this saga to go away, it`s actually damaging the premier league `brand` abroad we made that much of a pigs breakfast of the whole thing.
