Its all down to the fact that they agree in their contracts to be bound by any rules and findings of the FA.

The real Blimey here is that BG is the one talking sense.

Evidence gathered at the hearing is being considered by the FA, but it could be three weeks before a verdict is announced.
Which virtually takes us to the end of the season, when the incident arose in a match in January.

Up the Albion!
FA just waiting for the right moment to bury bad news. I have a feeling Mr Trump may be about to provide the ideal cover.
Not exactly a "kangaroo court", though.

Simply because it is something that I have great knowledge and experience of.

I presume that if the FA charge stands and he can show a real loss due to the decision he could sue GB for damages and would only have to show that, on the balance of probabilities, he didn’t racially abuse him.
The whole things seems a bit of a farce atm. Carpet under sweep exercise seems likely in which case why bother in the first place ?

They want West Brom to be mathematically relegated before announcing the decision, so the relegation cannot be blamed on any sanction, and end up in court.
I guess it depends what’s in his Premier League playing contract. I imagine there must be something in it to prevent this as I’m sure John Terry would have tried something? I recall teams could not sue each other, does this still hold?

Does seem to be taking forever ? surely by now some decision should have been made ?
PS, Did you enjoy Public Service Broadcasting last week ? had a marvellous time, nice to see we were not the oldest in there !

That's ok because if he gets a 5 match suspension, it will carry on until next season. Gordon Greer got a red card at Swindon, we bought him and he was suspended for our first two matches, because he'd only been suspended for one game at his previous club.

I would say that everything fall down to the High Court ruling that by accepting their contract the players agree to any rules and or findings of the FA. so loss of earnings etc would be totally irrelevant. As has been stated if their was any avenue of a loophole John Terry legal team would have used it.
