From the BBC
"Former Newcastle United Under-23s coach Peter Beardsley has been suspended from all football-related activity for 32 weeks after being found to have been racially abusive to players.
He was charged by the Football Association with three counts of using racist language to players in March but "categorically denied" the claims.
He left Newcastle after a 14-month club investigation earlier this year.
The FA said his remarks "were obviously racist and wholly unacceptable".
In their written reasons the FA added: "Even if he did not intend to do so, he plainly did cause offence."
Beardsley has been ordered to complete a face-to-face education course."
Now I think that's pretty unfair.
To be made to sit face to face with Beardsley for that long? Outrageous. I hope that they are paid well.
