Is he denying it because he genuinely believes it or is it an opportunity to stagger the suspensions so that there will be one of the main CB's available for most of the coming matches?
Still can't think that the FA will come up with anything other than a guilty verdict, the only question being would it be a 3 match ban or 4.
Why would it be 4?
if the fa deem it to be a "frivolous appeal" it can be increased to 4 though whats defined as frivolous only the fa know
He hasn't appealed anything though. As is stands, there's nothing to appeal.
its the fa normal logic doesn't apply to them, but don't be surprised if they throw on an extra game or two for daring to question their judgement
