Liquid, How did we not follow the procedures/protocols here? The club followed the rules to the letter and reported it correctly and to the correct authority. They even went a stage further and hired an independent lawyer to review things before proceeding. I'm not sure what more they could have done.
My take on this why proceed when from past experiences the system is blatantly stacked against us with the FA using punishments as an excuse for dipping their hands into our till.
