So JT gets a 4 match ban and a one week wage fine .... off lightly if you ask me, especially compared to suarez the benchmark they set last year.
Remember, you get a 3 match ban for a red card in most cases, and just one more for racial comments!!
We know fines don't work, match bans are the only thing that really hurts a player.
And is 4 weeks and £200,000+ the norm from now on? So if a player in the Championship does the same thing he'll have to pay out a few years wages as a fine?
Not sure why some folk seem to think because he was found not guilty in a court of law over a different charge he can't be found guilty by his bosses. If a school teacher for instance is accussed of being a peodo, he may be found not guilty in a court of law, but should the school authorities leave it at that? Of course not, they then hold an inquiry and on the balance of probabilites he may be found guilty of inappropriate behaviour and sacked, the legal case is usually a different, but related charge, but has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. That is how our system works in this country.
You can be found not guilty of murder in a court of law, but in a private prosecution afterwards the defendant can be found guilty.
Listening to the radio, and watching Sky Sports, most ex-players and pundits seem to think he got off lightly, and I agree.
