The verdict was over 6 months ago. The club had a chance to appeal and they turned it down - the first thing the court of arbitration would do us ask why the club didn't appeal and they promptly throw out the case.
i understand whats going on perfectly benny.
it wouldnt matter that it was only 6 months ago or that we didnt appeal because to bring the case to them would be on the basis of what it was,an unfair process so why would you appeal to the same?.especially when you have been warned beforehand that an appeal could harden the punishment and thats why the court of arbitration exists as they are not affiliated to any sports organisation.he could appeal it there and not be open to any punishment by the fa either and he would have no other choice to accept their ruling and move on.
i believe that if suarez feels he has been unfairly done then he should fight to clear his name,you dont and i suppose that comes down to the person and whether you have a bit o fight in the belly or not.
its not so much a case of suarez dragging this back up again but whats happened to terry and now everyone is looking to the fa to see what they will do and the fact that its taking them so long to get their finger out tells me that its somehow not going to lead to an independent panel of 3,followed by a complicated report built on circumstance then backed up with a 8 match ban and £40.000 fine for racially abusing an opponent but your not a racist.
if terry walks clean from this then you can bet this whole saga will explode again.
