Sounds like the investigation has been pretty thorough.
Glad he is not moving on although that is what we should do now and forget all the speculation.

£10K and 8-weeks suspension. I guess it must be pretty close to what a lot of the rumours and speculation was suggesting.

Wonder if this will be the end of it, or if he'll look to move on in the future (as in after the end of the season)?

Looking to find the positives - he hasn't been sold/sacked, and he's going to have a nice rest over the next month or so, so he'll not be picking up any match-day injuries in the meantime.

Well done to the club. Think they have handled it well. Relieved to hear he has not been sacked.

you were not going to renew your ST if you didnt like the outcome of the Disciplinary? thats a very strange reason.

I am happy with the outcome. We must trust the Club and I hope JB will learn from this, become a great player he is capable of being and will stay with us for years to become a legend. John, you are capable of being as great a player as Ellery Hanley so please do not waste your talent.Be strong, lad.
